I left home at 7 this morning to get to the drs office by 7:45. I had two spots that were going to be dealt with: one on my neck and one on my temple. Mohs surgery is where they take a sampling around the spot and look at it for cancer. If they find none, then you are done. If they find some, they go back and excise more. This cycle continues until it is all clear. He took samples from both places and sent me to the waiting room. After about 45 minutes they came back and announced that they would have to do it again to both. After they took the second samples I was again sent to the waiting room. When done, I found out that the neck was clear but they needed to do more on the temple. I found out that they would have to do a skin graft for the temple since it was so big. It was about the size of a quarter. After the third biopsy, I was declared clean. Now they had to stitch everything up. He stitched up the neck first. Then, they cut donor skin from my clavicle skin. It was after 3 o'clock before we could leave. It was a long day. We went to Little Pigs and had some BBQ before heading home.

Just that. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A lovely Kampfe Star HR-3A in excellent condition (even the blade looks unused) in a nice "The GEM" Set with a great A. J. Jordan box. OK, I paid about $90 for it, but that's a complete bargain.
According to Hazelcorn, this model is as rare as it gets.
Even 15 years ago he priced it at about $250 unboxed.
This beauty is 135 years old and it doesn't look a day older than I do.
A lucky buy-it-now find, while looking for something else. 

Originally celebrated as Armistice Day it has become the day we celebrate, remember, acknowledge the service of both the living and the dead who gave some or all in military service to their country, the United States of America.

Today was a day for the books. I woke up to no Internet. I called our carrier, and we tried rebooting the router. No luck. So they put me on their work list for today. I finally got this one resolved around  4PM.
Next, there was a leak in our water line on the city side of the meter, thank God. So, after about three weeks of waiting, and a number of phone calls including one by our neighbor to the mayor, a crew showed up. After a little more that three hours, they fixed the leak and covered over the hole. What a day. We are finally settling in to watch some TV tonight.

Here is what November 1st shave looks like. It is an Unmentionable. Sorry. I am doing slants this week.
I love my Tabac Tuesdays.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #423 2-band Badger
Unmentionable Slant
Unmentionable Razor
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #423 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Slant Razor and an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Novelty, which went into production recently.
Well received on Kickstarter and YouTube.
https://highproofrazor.com/

All in 6061 avionic anodized aluminum.
CNC lathe machining, and N52 neodymium magnets.
In fact, the peculiarity is the use of magnets to manage the pivot and the blade.

The specifications speak of a slim and light half-blade SE (SHaDE).

The design is simple and effective.
For lovers of minimalism.

Project similar to the Italian Focus Dynamic.
But with a more pronounced angle.
Conceptually similar to Leaf Razor.
Even if that's technically a multi-blade.

The beta testers are happy.

Relatively simple, but intelligent INCI.
Four lines of semi-hard soaps:
• Guinness
• Vegan
• Mutton
• Donkey

Three aftershave lines:
• Lotion
• Balm
• Toner

At first glance I was struck by Mutton and Toner.
The first for the richness of noble fats, with the addition of secondary lubricants.
The second for the strong soothing components, associated with film-forming and nutrients.
For someone like me who has delicate skin, it is certainly interesting.

Another detail that I appreciate is the precision.
Both of the site, with all the useful details.
Both labels, with the logo of the line.

It is also easily available in some specialized shops.
At prices correctly positioned for quality.

Rare but not unheard of. This is a death row shave I was tagged for.

Some of you may know my vintage razor patents site razors.click
A few have even noticed that it is no longer online.
The domain has been hijacked and I'm trying to regain control again.
The domain registrar I'm dealing with is a bit on the slow side.
It takes them 2-4 weeks to answer an email. It's been going on for far too long now.
I have therefore decided to purchase another domain.
This time I went with a better-known registrar (Google).
The idea is to use both once I have the old one back.
But for now, the new domain name is:
