Osage Rub for a fine finish

I'm very pleased that this Geneva blade is such a fine shaver, 'cause it's just so danged pretty!
The omega cream gives a nice cooling effect on what's shaping up to be a hot and humid day... The Osage Rub adds to, and magnifies the cooling effect..

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! The flowers are for my 22 month old granddaughter, Moira who will be coming later to wish Grampa a happy Father's day!

Wintchase... I'm very sorry to read of your Uncle's illness... He sounds like an uncommon man. The kind they just don't make anymore. I pray for a peaceful passing... Very sorry.

That's a beautiful razor Bill! If it shaves as good as it looks it's a Keeper for sure! Great pic as usual!

About the cat... I thought the same thing... Those whiskers look like prime candidates for the HHT!

BTW, I'll be AWOL until Friday... I'll catch up with all SOTD's then.

Enjoy the week, all!

He owed several car dealerships down in California after leaving the Army and started up a bunch of boxing clubs down there. He was a tough man who never asked for anything, nor did he hesitate to give to people in need. His manner was gruff and some saw him as somewhat abrasive...I did not..I (like many of us who embrace the old ways) saw him as a blue collar guy who acted as gentleman when expected, and as a "Man to be respected" when required. I am not telling you this for sympathy, nor do I wish for any. I just wanted you all to know there are still a few of us out there who understand what it means to be a "man"...Not just a "male of the human species"....If that makes sense....Of course, I am rambling a little now..Have a great day and hug your daughters; shake hands with your sons (so they know the difference)..grab the fishing poles, or golf clubs and revel in your day!

My thoughts are with you at this time, best wishes to you and yours
