Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

I've heard more bad reports than good about the carbon steel GEMs.  Sorry you got bit by one.  BTW, the weed whacking and mowing may have helped mute the shot reaction for you.  We got the Moderna version, and they told us to keep the arm moving, which apparently gets the juice spread out instead of pooling in your arm.  In any case, I hope you have a smooth sail from here on out.

Thanks Mike, if that's the case it got spread good and continues too as I'm working a long day today to take tomorrow off. Have a good one

AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70

What a difference a day makes. I had 4 soaps that came in from a BST where I was trying to get the Brush handle but 2 of the soaps were on my radar so some came and some will go. This was a first time for the Siero base from WK and performance wise I'm fine still with the Donkey Milk version I have. This scent was a weird one I couldn't place. Off the tub not wow for me. Looked it up and it's co-blended with Mammoth Soaps: Notes of Yuzu,Lemon.Black Tea. Cucumber, Basil and Peppermint. Umm okay I guess but just and odd scent for me that isn't a keeper but now I can say I've tried this base. Upon lathering I get some cooling but more than Peppermint would do and so look at the ingredients and yep, menthol. Not a bad thing, just wasn't expecting it. Nice smooth shave that felt good with the Rockwell combo. No bleeding like a stuck pig today......and speaking of pigs. You never know what you'll see in the middle of the road when driving home around here. Had to slow down to let this little guy get off the road.

Topped off with the Ethos again to continue the skin healing although I feel fine now and did all 3 passes. Yesterday is in the rearview mirror now until I'm ready to bring the Clauss out again but with a good blade and some deep respect. Had Tom tell me that it is an Aggressive razor and needs care. Hitting the 1 Million again as it is becoming a favorite on the frag shelf. Have a stellar day everyone !!

Sorry to hear the Wholly Kaw wasn't your cup of 'Tea'. Lol.

Wow, is that a pig in the middle of the road?! Definitely not something we see in Upstate NY (at least I've never seen it).

Have a great Friday Dave!

Slow down to let the pig cross the road? Down here they are nuisance animals ... pull over and put crosshairs on them.

Wait...yeah, aren't you the one advocating the kicking thereof? Lol!

Never heard that phrase until I came to Shaving forums.

Reminds me of the tale of the man speeding around the country roads in his convertable, and as he approaches a corner, a female driver coming towards him yells, "Pig!" He immediately responds with a dirty word for her, makes the curve and slams into a large hog!

I must say when I saw it, thoughts of boar brushes and tenderloins were dancing in my head but it belonged to someone and was spared.

You kick them first to jump start them.

Man ... it’s raining here like a cow pissing on a flat rock.
