Le Grelot
Bomb Boheme
Semogue 830
Thayer's Lavender
Bomb Boheme ASB
Montale Blue Amber

Congratulations to Al and his newly enlarged family! Today's shave features some items inspired by my friendship with Al. The Bomb, of course, and my first boar brush, the purchase of which grew out of a conversation he and I had in chat one evening. The Le Grelot was chosen because Max recently restored this one, and it represents the beauty and dedication to excellence which we all know Al's new son will demonstrate himself during his life. Finally, the Montale Blue Amber because it's a boy!!

Thank you, Glenn. Your picture was exceedingly well executed as well.

I've not shot the .357 Glocks, but they intrigue me, sounds like you have a nice one

And when all else failed, the revolver can be used like a hammer. The Glock is a really nice pistol.
