French Blade:
It was a very difficult thing to do my friend. But after all the sudden purchasing over the last 5 months (including 3 Toggles ... don't get me started) and having one hell of a good time doing so without even a drink in my hand. If a Ginko moves too fast, peripheral picks it up. My behavior modifier of 34 years went to RED ALERT! SWMBO thought something was amiss when she caught me high fiving the air, shouting yes, yes, I beat you, you SOB, after I won something on eBay --- several times which elicited a "Who are you talking to?" comment. Or a polite Holy Eff You Sea Kay!!! when an Eclipse went for over $312 in less than a minute and I was sitting on a 51 pound bid for 3 days. We finely had a "family discussion" and, as I didn't want to risk my fingers to freezer burn, I agreed to do it. It was you who wrote the post on talking to your girlfriend on why you send packages to total strangers etc. --- Well, I did some of that too with a few mates. Yes $30.00 is alot of money to spend on a postal package, but the goods must be delivered. Yes, I know you understand that. However. I just have to build a shaving warehouse like Blyth Spirit, tell her it's the work address, and be done with it. I tried to avoid confrontation by --- well --- coming home early from work to check on the mail --- that works only one time when you're caught because she finished her nursing presentation early and got the rest of the day off. First hints that a blood hound is on to your tracks is the mail box is empty, small cardboard packages from Florida, California, Ohio, England, Ireland appear on dining room table, "Who do you know in Kansas City named Julie and why did she draw little hearts on this package?" and my favorite, "why are you buying silly soap at your age?" And last but not least so I don't turn this into a novel ... "How many brushes do you need? You've never acted like this before Robert, $70 dollars for some plastic and a bit of hair?"
Do not use the smart ass line "I only need one brush, but I WANT more" it'll only get that brush into the Christmas wrapping faster, believe me. I've got two more brushes arriving maybe this week and a large package from Steve which will have to be taken off the truck with an 80 ton mobile crane. If I can get that into the studio without an intrusion alert going off I'll be fine. I can hear "You bought how many razor blades?" Christmas will be special this year as I will open my present from the Christmas exchange and someone will have put in there a tub of cream, a soap or a fine silly soap to break-in Fido's new brush and a D1 Gold Toggle. That Santa Claus fellow is a pretty nifty guy, but even he has the snitching elves (neighbors) and of course Mrs Claus to contend with. I did manage to take a picture of both the NF brushes together before the new guy got solitary confinement for 2 months. I've started to visit him everyday. R/Robert
. I shaked the brush to hard earlier, this morning I only hold it with the hair down and lowered the brush down three times and stoped. I was rewarded with tons of rich nice slippery Nanny lather
