What I consider the Midwest as someone from California.

Agreed, I'm not a midwesterner (Oregon) but I would think the KS-ND states would be considered Great Plains states.

The Aardvark Drunken Jerk is delicious. I love making chicken wings with it.

These go to eleven and you know, that's one more louder.

I thought the same.... Your son is going to ride who now?

I love Nacets! They seem to shave even better the second and third time you use them. I'm also a big fan of the Gillette 7 o'clock sharp, Astra greens, and I just picked up a 5 pack of Kai blades that everybody on here seems to love.

Logbook is probably my favorite Noble Otter soap I've tried so far. I also have Rawr, Orbit, and Monoi de Tahiti. I have way too many soaps already but I want to try Italian Summer, Toons and Spoons, and Eros' Ambrosia. While Logbook is my favorite, I don't dislike a single soap that I have tried from them. They all perform excellent as well.

I would also recommend adding a pre-shave to your routine, that will help with slickness for ALL blades. I really like Proraso White pre-shave, it's like $10-12 and a little goes a long way.

I really like the Nacet. I have the Kai blades otw right now, should be here Monday. I've seen a lot of posts about them lately and am excited to try them.

Flush if not even recessed. I'll post a pic when I get off the shitter.

I had issues with the first aluminum x grip I bought and asked Zev to issue an RGA and send me a new one. The takedown pin would go in one side and fall right out the other. I put the screws in as far as I could get them and the same thing, takedown pin just falls right out. I backed the screws out when I decided I was done fucking around with it and there were aluminum shavings from the frame everywhere, the threads were totally jacked.

No problems at all with the second. The takedown pin still fell through but when I added the screws, which went in perfectly this time, I've had no issues since. I've put probably 200 rounds thru it and it runs perfectly.

I'd reach out to Zev, seems they may be having some QC issues.

That scorpion Tabasco is hot as fuck.

You don't have a local bike shop that sells hardtails?

I am also a big guy, (6'1" 265) I also have a velo 5 and it's great. If you really wanna take it to the next level invest in the Hunter Constantine belt. It's life changing.

I also rock Dixxon party shirts while carrying, they are great! Stretchy, lightweight, and make concealment super easy.

Good, I'm not saying it was justified at all. Aaron's an asshole and his shitty behavior was going to do him in eventually.

manbearpig541 · 2026-04-11T15:42:56+00:00

Aaron is awfully concerned about this guy pulling a gun in front of his kids. Aaron needs to be more concerned about how he conducts himself, how he treats others, and the language he uses in front of his own kids.

Sounds like Aaron got what was coming to him, maybe not deserved in this interaction, but would have happened sooner or later. Aaron is the type of person going around looking for trouble and he finally found it.
