A Nice, close, and cool shave! Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

I can't decide if I'd rather have that sexy brush or the delicious Lemon Head. I'm leaning toward the brush

Father's Day Haircut (No Shave Today)
As I shaved today I thought of my dad. He was a simple man who came and went without much notice from the rest of the world. I was one of the chosen few who understood what a great man he really was. I'll never forget the winter day in 1997 when I scattered his ashes on a mountaintop overlooking Jalisco, Mexico. When I finished the job I sat on a ledge and balled my eyes out. Then I walked off the mountain and sat in the town square on a bench celebrating the life of the finest man I had ever known, drinking more Dos Equis beers than I can really remember and watching grandparents watch their grandchildren fly kites. If in the larger scheme of things I've ended up half the man he was, I'll count my life a success. I couldn't finish today's haircut with anything but English Leather (his go to scent).
