Which reminds me, I need to start thinking about my first PIF for 2025. I'll rummage through the stash and decide on something soon, Boris.I can see that with that blade stash.

I had another appointment this morning with my rheumatologist. My meds are being increased. They intentionally started me on a low dosage to see if I could tolerate it, and it seems that I could, so now it's time to turn up the volume.
Better living through chemistry...

Today is going to be a lazy day without a shave. First time missing a shave in about 13 months.
Good morning, Jay.
Your journal is one of my favorites here.
Have a peaceful day, my friend.

Thank you! Have a great day yourself. Stay warm and safe duing the storm.
Yeah stay warm everyone! I think we are due for snow and sleet around 1pm here in Raleigh. We will see if I stick around at work or just head home to finish up the day.
It's coming down pretty good here in Nashville right now.
Stay safe folks. The worst of it is always people that act like everyone else is going slow and steady for no reason.
Nikki Burdine is kind of cute.

Date code E 1, so 1984, I think. There is some minor fading on the nickel despite being mostly sealed, but still pretty good for being 41 years old.

Welp, sometimes I can't help myself. I ordered a Game Changer 1.05 today. What can you do?

I received my GC 1.05 tonight. I’ll take it for a spin tomorrow. It surely will be more efficient than the GC 84. Oddly enough, the aluminum Lupo is more efficient than the GC 84, despite what the IB scale says. It’ll be interesting to see where the GC 1.05 falls.
Have a blessed weekend ahead, my friend.

I had my first shave this morning with the GC 1.05. It's a nice razor. It's a little more efficient than the GC 84, but not drastically so. I disagree with IB scale that has it more aggressive than the Lupo 95. On my face and technique, that's not the case. The GC 1.05 has practically no blade feel compared to the Lupo 95, where you know there's a knife edge on your skin. The GC 1.05 is about as efficient as the Lupo 95 without the aggressive feeling and the likelihood of it biting you. Where the GC 1.05 bests the Lupo 95 is shaving ATG. It has no problem on my difficult hair that lies flat against the skin, whereas the Lupo 95 tends to pull at it rather than cutting it.
The GC 1.05 is a bit redundant with the GC 84 and Lupo 95 in that it overlaps. If you make a Venn diagram of the GC 84 and the Lupo 95, the overlapping middle area is the GC 1.05. You don't need all three.
