has a post here Friday (which I missed) about a guy doing a conventional Razor shave. It’s a great post, go watch the video.

I used to shave with a straight razor every day. I had a Diamond I used to take with me on the road, but my preferred implement of tonsure was always this Morris sculptor edge As Homeland stupidity took place, i stopped being able to carry a razor with me, and I stopped using the Morris after a while as well.

I have been using Bic Metal for a long time, now,it’s a lot more convenient and its a tolerable shave.

But when I win the lottery, it’s a barber shave for me every day.

During this week Partner and I will have a piling party. Assuming Partner has no objections, we will be displying the photographs here. Each tripod of firearms will be identified and we will try to keep them in period and theater.

I know there are serious collectors out there. I also know not everyone is interested in showing off their- er- whole collection. But post ’em if you got ’em.

Some decent turkey in my life.

Granted, a meal someone else cooks that doesn’t come in a styrofoam container is most of what constitutes a gfood meal for me, but wow.

We went with a smaller bird for Christmas than we did for Thanksgiving, mostly because we STILL had thanksgiving leftovers. I brined the bird per Alton Brown, and we used a 12 lb Butterball.

Let me explain something to you about flavor: Well, no, I can’t. It was too exquisite. Maybe I should speak to the perfect texture of the green bean casserole- well, I hardly noticed because it went so quickly. Then there was the Cornbread stuffing that was…. well, it was very nearly lethally good. And the gravy…. The Ogwife took incredible pan drippings that were awesome and incredible on their own, and turned them into- well, a beverage.

Now, let me speak about the Sweet Potato pie.

Nah, fuckit, I’mna just go eat some more. I can’t imagine a simpler meal that could be made to taste any better than this one. Good lord, that woman can cook. Now excuse me while I whipup some whipped cream.
