Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

SEptember 17th Shave



Except I swapped the 24mm Cashmere for the 26mm Timberwolf in the Trotter Handcraft Northeast Ice



A stupendous shave! New to the post shave routine was the addition of Zingari Man Aftershave Balm, unscented, the non-Sego version. A Really Comfortable Shave and Refreshed was achieved! 

And, it's Friday!! Hope you all have a great day as you head into the weekend. Me, I hope to survive, as it is my weekend to work. I am Edward Needle-hands!! yup, vaccinator extraordinaire! I may even jab myself this weekend (flu shot), but typically I wait to October to do that, for no other reason than that is when I used to get it!

Good reminder to get my flu shot Eric, take care !

I’m glad that you and your wife have had productive meetings and information from your medical team and that both if your anxiety levels have somewhat reduced. I hope all goes well. It sounds like your wife is in good hands.

Thank you, Marko, I truly appreciate your well wishes!

First, let me tell you a joke that I first heard from Foster Brooks, on his album, The Lovable Lush. 

The farmer's wife needs to cook a chicken for dinner, so she heads out back and grabs a chicken, cuts off the head, and then brings it inside to defeather. Normally, she uses the gas oven to singe off the pin feathers, but the oven quits on her. So, she sends her husband to town to buy a new oven. Well, he come back with one of those e-lectric ovens since the store was all out of gas. They get it plugged in and she tries to get the pin feathers off with that oven but its not working.

Thinking of an alternative, she grabs her husband's razor and she's able to take all those feathers off. She writes the razor company, Schick, and tells him she thinks they ought to sell it. She forgets all about it, but six months later the owner of the company writes her back saying, "Ma'am, we want to thank you for sharing your story with us and helping to introduce a new product. We're now proud to offer a men's schick, a women's schick, and a chicken schick."


This is going to be my Schick Show week! The soap will be constant (I like to keep a set 4 for a week), but everything else can and will change, as long as it's a Schick!

Today, the Hydro-magic with a sChick (6) and a Sorrentino 24mm Timberwolf knot.

Today's SEptember shave:
A new to me Schick type J, which according to BBS in his fantastic Dummies thread, is as old as I am!
sChick injector (1)

A great shave!

Hope the day goes better than expected for all!
