Thanks. Shaves really well. I had a great shave today...once I remembered to tighten my handle...
We do have beautiful lakes up here. And mountains and beaches. And everything we thought we’d save on sales and income taxes is taken out in stratospheric property taxes.
Hey at least you can provide testing data on airbag injuries caused by not wearing a seatbelt... legally.We do have beautiful lakes up here. And mountains and beaches. And everything we thought we’d save on sales and income taxes is taken out in stratospheric property taxes.

Had a great few of Shaves with my Stando. Definitely aggressive. Definitely efficient. Today was an FIS of 4, but boy was it close...even with a day 3 Wizamet. I won't know until EOD, but would estimate the overall rating at either a 94 or 95.
This is the first copper razor I've shaved with. Interesting fact: Copper has a distinctive smell that is quite noticeable while using a razor made from it. I feel like I'm brazing copper pipe whenever I use it.
Just got back from the condolence call to my wife's cousin's family. This was what I would call an "old school visit". Her cousin, my son and I killed a fifth of lemon flavored moonshine in about 90 minutes...of laughing and crying and sharing of photos.
Very cathartic.
Walking up the 3 flights of stairs to my mother-in-law's apartment afterwards was...challenging.
All i can say is thank God for Apple auto correct.
Will be prone for an hour or two...

Post script on the Stando copper Mokosz...
12 hours after today's shave, my face was still a solid DFS. At 14 hours, I'm at CCS. Overall score is a 95.
A beautiful razor and a great value.
I would note that the finishing work on the copper is a bit basic and the edges are a tad sharp. That said, it was totally worth the $180, including the patina'd brass stand.

Bummer. I'm sitting at the Palladium lounge at Chopin Airport. I'd much prefer being in the back of a G4 headed for Teterboro...with a flute of Crystal bubbling away in my hand.
It's good to want things.
You don't need an Air Taxi, Warsaw to Jersey is a full blown charter!!
And you're gonna need at least a G5 to cover that route,
Are those aircraft like a G6?
I don't know how to answer this!

Details, details. I can make stops along the way. I've never been to the Azores or Goose Bay.You don't need an Air Taxi, Warsaw to Jersey is a full blown charter!!
And you're gonna need at least a G5 to cover that route,
But if you insist on picking me up in a G5, I won't complain.

Just took an Ambien and crawled into bed. Alarm set for 5:30am...11:30 pm NY time. I'm going to be one jet-lagged-hot-mess on sunday.
Shaved with a Gillette Fusion Pro glide this evening. You know what (don't hate me)? It was a fine and close shave with an FIS of 3+. I'm guessing it will still be socially acceptable when I go through security tomorrow in Madrid. Went with a stick of TOBS Sandlewood, some Alum, and a splash of Creed Neroli Sauvage.
This was a really bizarre trip. I need a few days to process it...A magnificent wedding, a mourning call, providing care to my mother-in-law, great food, great sight seeing. A false alarm while over the Atlantic. A black bear taking out my garbage. Three languages. And, not nearly enough sleep. My older son and his Fiancé came home with Covid (They're fine)
A lot of stuff packed into that paragraph...a lot of stuff packed into the past week.
Oh yeah, my wife is staying another week...or three.
I'm going to spend the next week sitting in the corner, playing with my razors and eating nothing but 'mercan food- you know, Sushi, Chicken Parm, take out Chinese and Indian.

Note, while there were moments of sadness on the trip, there were just as many moments of true joy and learning
All of it clouded by just a bit of jet lag...and both types of moonshine.

Me too!
When we were in Bali back in Feb/March, we found a great restaurant that had 2 for 1 mango margaritas from 5 to 7PM. They also had the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. We enjoyed 3 meals there and were so glad we used their version of Uber. I wasn’t in any shape to drive after any of those meals. Of course, we’d never consider renting a car there. Driving on the left in “special” SE Asia traffic.
