I was called an old fogey today...

Post by Major Kong »

My nephew and his fiancee came over today and she was asking about the old fashioned double edge safety razor in the bathroom...it's a Parker Safety Razor that I've used since I started shaving (Nixon was POTUS). I use Shark Double Edge blades (buy 'em by the 100) and even have a wood razor stand I proudly display it on. :D

She said she had only seen old men use double edged razor's...then in a most shocking revelation I told her I use "gasp" Gillette Foamy Menthol shaving creme (I can get it for $1.50 a can at the local dollar store). I also told her I use Clubman Bay Rum or Clubman Musk. :)

She said that was old fogey stuff...I told her it's what I use. My wife referred to as my whore bait...I said yeah and look what I caught with it.

It'll take a week or two for the black eye to look better. ;) :shock: :mrgreen:

I'm sorry you nephew's woman called you an Old Fogey. I'm not offering my sympathies for the shiner though. You had that coming.

I use double edge safety razors as well (sometimes a straight razor as well). If you need more than one blade, you need a better blade...

I think the Major should let Mrs. Kong shave him as a show of faith and trust... :lol:

She did when I had my hands operated on back in May & June. She did pretty well too. :D

She doesn't like my safety razor though...says it's to hay-vee (her word for heavy) so she used my son's Fusion razor. :)

You know how I am by now (endlessly fascinated by stuff). I just want to have a quick conversation with Mrs. Kong so I can hear her accent. I promise I'll only try to sell her a subscription to Cosmo or Vogue or some other inane magazine over the phone. Seriously. I promise. 8-)

Mr. Once would not let me shave him. Though these days he's growing quite the full on beard, so he's got Grizzly Adams on the run....

Funny stuff. I was told at our tailgate by a female UNC grad that I looked like I was in my mid-twenties. I'm just reaching my prime at forty years old. Hehe.
My women clients think I'm so sweet.

I've given this serious thought and I came to the conclusion that since you hail originally from Southern Mississippi you shouldn't have much trouble in understanding her but needing a Middle Appalachian primer first. :D

You wouldn't be Once but Once't. Now if y'all spoke on the phone twice she would tell me "Didja know that I talked on the phone with Once't today twice'd...bless her heart. :P

Actually it might not be a bad idea to watch the TNT show "The Closer" and listen to Kyra Sedgewick's character and then mix in about 15% of Nell. :D
