Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

My set up for the coming week:

Schick Type G, a favorite of an acquaintance of mine from another neighborhood
Schick blade
Continuing with a 2021 purchase of Mike's unscented soap
My Fluffy Industries personalized copper handle with magnetic base and an APSCo Cashmere knot

Wish Ken was around......Gonna miss our Fluffy snow reports this year.....Hope he is well and knows we care !

Those snow reports always made me smile. Ken has such a creative sense of humor and I enjoyed his reporting, especially when it involved his cab crew!

This is Fluffy Ken's photo of the Crew:


AST Barbie, Mini-Fluffy, and Sock Puppet Bob. Good times for sure!

I texted Ken. Life has thrown him some curves and I'll leave him to share as little or much as he chooses, if he decides to. He is well though which is the important thing !

Thanks for the update, Dave. While it unfortunate that Ken is having to deal with curves, it is good to hear that he is well.

Ditto what MaineYooper said, and another thank you to Dave in KY for the 411.  And Ken Fluffy:   We know you are out there.  We see you trying to slide the occasional "Like" in under the radar.  And that tell us you are still running some sort of operation.  No doubt it is a tough assignment - maybe tougher than we can imagine, and need to know only.  But at least you're running it.  So we say Hallelujah! (which is short for "Hallelujah, and get your seat warmer back here as soon as possible").

Electric razor versus Schick injector? Here is Cary's take, at 2 min, 10 seconds. (I tried and tried but could not get the dang video to start at that time, even though there seems to be an option when you copy the link. Oh well, it is a fun 2 1/2 minutes!

I missed a couple of calendar events yesterday! First was Hump Day (yeah, probably you're all happy with that!) and the other was my shaviversary, 8 years since I first picked up that scary, double-edged Merkur 34HD and attempted to not cut my nose, lips, or ears off!

And today I had a mail call! Paul mrdoug picked up a sweet looking Overlander a while back, and I talked my self into getting one with a green baseplate and stand. It arrived today and I plan to use it this weekend, with a German Red blade (if you haven't been following Paul's Journal, we have been discussing how the Personna Reds are packaged and produced with several different packaging plans (based on where produced) and can be confusing to the Personna initiate). This one is definitely from the German plant so it is the newer "Israeli Red."



Here is a quick photo of the two different Red tucks. The top is the older, made in Israel, verison. The bottom is the newer, made in Germany, version. I don't detect any difference between them, in fact, I don't think I find any difference between them and the Personna Comfort Coated! 



The other item arriving today was a new to me, very slightly used, Tatara Masamune Dark boar brush. 



This will match my Masamune razor and I think just looks cool! And yes, DecemBoar is just around the corner. Two years ago I went nuts with accumulating boar brushes both before and during Decemboar. Then I sold or PIF'd many of them, keeping only 2 in rotation. One is from Paul, and is in a retored Ever Ready handle and is a wonderful Maggard premium boar knot. The other is a Semogue SOC boar in the cherry wood handle. Earlier this year, I added another SOC boar, in the Taj handle, and today this one, which is also a Semogue knot. I plan to use these four for this year's DecemBoar.

Beautiful additions Eric especially the overlander colors.

What Dave said!  Congrats Eric.
