But now it is only clowdly.

Because one day without shave I feeled like a dirty bastard.

Tell me something about the quality of Brut-splash. I saw it in our Publix here.

personally, I am not a big fan of Brut. Too strong (scent + alcohol).

PS: These planes rides are a B***h. Now, if $$ was not an option (which is certainly always is), this is how I would love to travel :

Thanks! It's a sterling silver spoon that I found in an Antique shop. The designs on it interested me because of the cross of Constantine and the Maltese crosses around the bars of the cross. Being a Knight Templar this is indicative of one of my three chivalric orders, a Knight of Malta. The designs on the handle appears to be a forget-me-knot flowers duplicated in small scale down the handle. These flowers were used as a secret coded recognition of Freemasons during the WWII period in Europe. There is a stamp on the back of the cross of Constantine that says "Israel"; another of the Templar chivalric orders; Knight of the Red Cross of the Temple of Jerusalem. With all the designs presented on this piece, I surmise this was probably made during the WWII period in Europe by a Freemason probably a Knights Templar. Of course this is just my wild guess but at any rate, I thought it looked cool and I related to it.

What a meaningful piece & a great back story. Thanks!

Well this is my 2nd day with my Frank Brush. Im really starting to like it. It does have some backbone. Not what i thought when i first tried it. Great with cream. I havent tried it with soap yet.
This razor needs to be touched up. Not as sharp as i think it should be.
