    Default Friday!!!!

    Well Gentlemen while most of you are kicking back enjoying Springtime, here in the north country of Idaho we have a Winter storm warning in effect thru Sunday, at least... My question should you chose to answer, is why the do they call it a Winter storm warning, shouldn't it be a Spring storm warning?????


    Patchouli Superlather:
    Kiss my Face Peaceful Patchouli Shave cream
    Mama Bear's Patchouli Shave soap
    (Upon Mama Bear's recommendation I left out the Glycerin and made SuperLather)

    Razor: Beau Brummel 11/16 #34 Spike point
    Coffee Time:Italian Roast Drip
    Aftershave: Royall Bay Rhum
