Mammoth Mammoth, this month, not “Rabbit Rabbit”.

One blade, one brush, one razor. In for a penny, in for a pound. Two passes. A very simple setup.

It’s 1991, MTV has its 10th anniversary and this video is a big hit…

And the music video is “Jimmy Olsen Blues” or Pocket full of Kryptonite….

The key this month is finding different places to take pictures of the same setup each day, amirite?

This Schick was a New Old Stock I found on Etsy or something. I have a NOS Gem I still haven’t used yet.

Two passes. Happy Friday!

Saturday shaves I normally skip unless it’s date night.

Today is my youngest grandchild’s birthday, she’s turning 6, and we are heading to “ChuckeCheese” this afternoon to celebrate.

Pray for me.

When we met Bennie, my son was holding her. His mother and his mother in law both were standing there with me. He looked at both of them, then wisely handed her to me to hold first. I will never forget get that as long as I live. ☺️

2 passes. No issues. Be well.

Mammoth Monday Mammoth Month

Are we having fun yet?

Breaking in a new brush, especially a boar, will cost a lot of soap and reloading. Boar brushes are soap hogs too.

Short week as we are taking Friday off to head up to Louisville to celebrate by best friends birthday. We’ve been friends for nearly 40 years. Treasure those friendships.

2 passes. No issues.

I have been using the “repeat” function on this App since that’s what I’m doing everyday. Apparently it drops items if you fat finger them.

Two passes. Great shave. Since we are shaving every day, the blade is holding up pretty well.

We are having dinner with a couple of friends tonight to celebrate his birthday. He used to be the voice of Nashville Public Radio, he retired a year ago. Love him and hate him since he was an only child of boomers was able to retire early.

Today is my Friday. Tomorrow we are heading up to Louisville to meet up with my best friend and his wife. It’s his birthday and we are going to visit some distilleries and tasting bourbon.

I am more than pleased with my selections this year for AA. The razor is really straight forward, a synthetic brush to lather quickly before and dry quickly after the shave, and the Tusk base is really easy to load.

2 passes. All good. No alum excessive feedback.

Went to a Brazilian Steakhouse last night and I was not impressed. Just bring me my steak on a plate. Stopping by my table to hack off a few bites every so often isn’t a meal experience I care to recommend. The salad bar was very nice.

This morning’s shave was a bit rushed. But no nicks of any kind

Shaving after returning from Louisville for the weekend.

Loved the vibe downtown along the river. Mohamed Ali museum was way better than I expected, especially since I remembered a lot of what he went through in the late 1960’s.

There are a LOT of tasting rooms along the “Whiskey Row” downtown. There’s a riverboat one can ride, as well as a Science Museum for kids and the Louisville Slugger Museum.

No issues with the shave. 2 passes, no nicks.

For the first time in three days, I have managed to not nick my nose shaving under it. 🤪

The blade is holding up pretty well. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve taken a close up of the thing.

I’m reading a history of a British Tank unit in WW2. One of them won an award and one of the prizes was a brand new razor blade.

A single double edged blade.

Puts this all into perspective.

2 passes. No blood no negative feedback from the Alum.

Halfway point!

Happy Friday!

It’s a date night as I am going out to dinner with my wife and a friend of ours we used to dine out with frequently. It went by the wayside after Covid.

Still no issues with the razor or the soap. I focus on not getting the splash near my eyes.

2 passes. No issues.

Saturday’s I would normally not shave, but it’s August, and in August (and June), we shave every day.

A quick shave and shower and then we are heading out to do errands and “self care”. My wife and I go out and get a pedicure together every 4-6 weeks. We started BC (Before Covid), and have kept it up ever since.

2 quick passes. No nicks no negative feedback.

Tuesday’s shave.

Hope all of you are ready for school again. It’s started last week for some, this week for others.

In my new job, my boss, a single woman in her 60’s, can’t understand why someone would need to take a day off of work due to a sick child. Nor does she want us coordinating our vacations so things like Fall Break or Spring Break.

On this date in 1485, King Richard III is killed during the last major battle of the Wars of the Roses. Richard would later turn up when a car park was being excavated.

The mornings are really starting to get cooler. I haven’t weighed this tub, but it’s visibly smaller.

Friday morning!

I actually stayed up and watched the acceptance speech last night. So I am dragging a little this morning.

I’m not really thinking into September’s shaves yet. September 1st is a Sunday, so I might just skip that day.

This blade has more than 23 shaves on it, and it is definitely not as sharp as it once was. But still doing the job.

2 passes. No issues.

I tried an old trick this morning. I only did one full pass, ATG, with just a little bit of neck cleanup…

Still haven’t given a lot of thought to September shaves, other than the 12th.

Two passes and no issues.

Except for the artisan shaving soap, this is like shaving 40 years ago. IYKYK.

The last Tuesday of Austere August….

We’re in the final count down. I hope you all have a great day.

In this day in 1883, the Krakatoa volcano exploded 4 times. It was an equivalent of 200 Megatons of TNT. Reports of the event are fascinating.

2 passes. Blade is noticeably duller but still works okay.

19 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the Gulf Coast. I remember being in an airport flying home for Labor Day weekend and seeing the devastating impact on NOLA on the news. It kept getting worse after that.

2 passes has been the standard all month. It’s still the way. I’m still not sure what I am using in September and beyond. I am thinking of using Sandalwood all month.

Zero regrets for my choices this year, especially for the choice of the soaps. I will be tossing this razor in my dopp bag for traveling. I have 2-3 nice synthetic brushes for travel.

I am not shaving tomorrow. I’m not shaving Monday either. After that, something with Sandalwood.

3 passes. No problems.
