After shave & Eau de cologne Vorago
Yesterday there was work in the morning and I was charged the time my children took them to the movies, so the shave reserved for Christmas was today and is the one I present. This soap is one of the few vegans that has fallen well to my skin in protective foam, good slip of the razor and after shave sensation. The soft, smooth Proyet with excellent backbone as I enjoy it. The Hoppe in its second use, that big razor, took the hair of two days singing and sliding smoothly. Final blow with fragrances eighties, delicious. I am an inveterate sybarite. Where are you filming the first chapter of the next Miami Vice season?

Every one of our dogs has taken a little piece of my heart with them ..

I'm sorry for your loss. Did that myself a couple of times and it's very difficult.

Razor: Holley with vintage honey horn scales.

Soap: Proraso green (tends to leave my face dry)

Brush: Omega pro boar

Skin nourishment: Witch hazel/eucalyptus oil

After shave: Aqua Velva Blue Ice

This razor is one of my top shavers. I touched this up on my surgical black Arkansas stone and it just zipped the hair of my face. What a wonderful shave. Happy Holidays.

We spent 5 hours in the Emergency Vet office. There was nothing they could do for the large mass on her spleen, which seemed to appear within three weeks, since she was last at the Vet for complete workup. We both laid down and held her on a soft comforter as she passed. For dog lovers, you know how hard this is. But it's what we sign on for when we take a puppy into our home ...

Till we meet again, my dear Holly ...

Very sad news Bill but as you rightly point out this is what we sign up to and I wouldn't have it any other way, I love my Dogs they are a shining light in my world they bring so much joy, and you can never replace the loss of your old Dog with a new Pup this we all know, but I'm sure you and your Wife in a few months time will be looking to bring home a new little Fur Baby to your loving home.
