Hi,Uberfiltering! You'll be listening to comets pass by. Very nice! My K3 is getting a little long in the tooth these days but is still a solid performer.
After looking at my soaps and blades, I'm going to be giving 2025 a shot. I have a soap rotation now and some of them have dents in them now, after a year or more. A few! Uh, no more soaps Flask.
Happy new year everyone! Congratulations for your restraint for the whole year! And to those that almost made it, you are getting there, smart of you to give it a shot.
Thank you kind sir. We had a lovely evening at the XO’s favorite restaurant and, back home before the crazies got out. Happy new year to you as well!Well, two for the price of one! Happy anniversary @Bsamps - enjoy your day together! And a very happy New Year!!
Lovely part of the island.Still in and back from Hawaii!
Sorry for the late reply @ChriWilson - our daughter and her family live in Kailua on Oahu. Nice town away from most tourists.
Put away the Mach 3 and had a return shave using Pacific Natural Cream, Game Changer 68-p, a fresh KCG blade and finished with some Duke Cannon ASB. I was a bit dizzy and overly tired from no sleep on the long red-eye flights home, so it was a bit of a daring shave.
During the 12-day visit, I shaved every other day with the Mach 3. My SIL had some Gillette Foamy Sensitive (which I have not used in many years) and I thought I would try it and compare to the Speick cream that I brought with me. Even without a brush, the Speick was so much better to use - more comfortable and closer and just as quick to lather up.
One more shave in 2024!
My dad had a IC-7800 ... or at least I think it was the one with the matching amplifier and most of the bells/whistles. He became a silent key in September and my brother and I are working on trying to figure out what to do with his ham gear, and his astronomy, metal shop, wood shop, photography, fiber... gear. He had lots of hobbies and tended to upgrade to pretty nice stuff over time.Hi,
Me, I am far more likely to buy me a new HF ham rig in the $4k range than anything for shaving.....

Yes, kind of a novelty to me since all the spaces I played in school were all brass.I’d be interested in that. Nice that you have a Buescher. Silver, I bet. I have 2 really old Conn’s that I adore. I had an old Selmer that was stolen. Wish I had it today.
I’ve been set free according to my time zone. Some more Tabac after shave and some blades will suit me just fine. Ready for the next year.Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go...
