Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

 Cheeze Whiz and ramen! Oh man, you made me laugh!

I initially thought Cheese Whiz and Ramen separately but together??!  Man thats on another level of culinary delights.  Like asian Alfredo  - I'm going to have to try that.

Splash on a little Tabasco and it livens it up. That’s my attempt at learning to use spices.

The Deets-
So a different razor again today. I have been going through razors that I originally thought needed a touch up … yes they do. Anyway, I had an Amazon gift card just waiting for something to buy … and I found Sir Henry’s. I’m not sure what I think of this one, but I’m not repulsed. I don’t know what a lot of scents smell like, but I think I get nothing but Oak Moss from this one. The soap itself looked a little dry and it may have been.

It lathers ok and builds a low structure. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the shave, because I was focusing on the scent to see it it changed. It was slick enough for an SR shave, but I don’t think there was any residual slickness. Maybe the soap or maybe my skin was soaking up all the water, not sure. It certainly deserves another shot, but didn’t land squarely in the love it group. I walked away DFS for the win! Life is good!

Very nice late morning shave. Who am I kidding … it was glorious! I was going through my BSTP (buy, sell, trade or PIF) box and came across this New LC. It didn’t make the initial cut when I was thinning down to 5 DE razors. I snagged it, dropped a feather in it and got too it. I loaded heavy with a wet brush and I was messy. I have recently been starting with a drier brush and building lather slower, but today I pulled out the stops and got full on messy. Slinging very wet lather everywhere and it was awesome!

The New gave me three smooth, easy passes and I am BBS for the win! The New and Feather combination is awesome! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yes it was. Simply outstanding! I think I will have to keep this razor. Life is good!

Home Front-
Today was the first and only grandsons first birthday. So I headed to East Texas for that and to see my wife. Had a good time, but I hope those East Texas fools have been taking their Ivermectin. I guess so, because the missus has avoided getting sick so far. It was a good time. While I was there, I got a call from my stepdad but didn’t know it until I got home.

So my Stepdad called me Monday to tell me he tested positive for COVID. He was showing no sighs, but had a headache. He was cavalier about the whole thing with wearing a mask, from the beginning. I knew it was a matter of time. So he called tonight to say that him and my mom are bad sick. Great. They have both had the vaccine so hopefully that will lessen the impact. But. Great!

Hey Tim, sorry for the news of your folks. Will be keeping you all in mind and in prayers. Appreciate your attitude, brother, sets me a great example!

Yikes Tim! Well, let's see the vaccine step up and do it's job. Praying for your folks.
