Another great Chiseled Face shave. I tripled up on the post-shaves today, just for fun.
For what it's worth, I've tried riding the cap with all sorts of GEM razors and it's not my cup of tea. Eventually you'll discover what feels good.
I used to blame rough first shaves on the PTFE blades needing some coating to wear off, but now I know better - I was using too much pressure, being used to milder DEs.
Anyway, enjoy! They're great razors.
Ugh. Waiting for test results is the worst. My wife getting the final "yeah, you have some cancer" was somehow relieving, because that meant we could start doing stuff to treat it instead of moping around not knowing what was in our future. Hopefully you learn something soon.
Thanks! She's a trooper so it'll be a good time.
Thanks, same to you!
I made a "tester" pumpkin pie tonight and it's killer. For Thanksgiving day we ordered one from a really good local bakery, and I'm hoping to beat it in my own unofficial pie contest.
Thanks. She's doing great with it overall. She has 3 or 4 treatments left of the "hard" stuff, then she does the easy stuff every 3 weeks for another 9 months.
Toxicologist, toxicity, minuscule, fluoridated -- your big doctor words are just trying to trick us!

I love the Chiseled Face soap base. I also love the Chiseled Face Legacy razor.
I wonder, if Ron hadn't been a regular on the sub in the past, would his marketing have gotten a pass? It's not my cup of tea, yet I still have a favorable view of the brand overall.
Woodshop pairs great with Gearhead.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving which is next Thursday.
We're hosting 6 other family members, so we'll have at least 9 people at the house (6 adults and 3 kids).
Traditionally you eat a big turkey dinner, but since Thursday and Friday my wife is usually tired from chemo it's going to be more of a chili pot-luck, but there will definitely be plenty of food and Pumpkin Pie!
The recipe doesn't specify a crust, so it's just whatever you want to use. You can make your own, or use a store bought. Do they sell frozen crusts in your country?
Pumpkin Puree, at least in the USA, is the only form of canned pumpkin that I know of. This is a popular brand - https://shop.caraluzzis.com/s/1000-2073/i/INV-1000-20608. It's sort of an apple sauce consistency, but thicker. You can buy pumpkin with the spices already added, but I prefer to add my own.
I'm sure there's a way to use a real pumpkin, but I've never tried it.
