    Default Jacky Boy Update

    Jacky had his Port removal procedure today, everything went smoothly.
    Just hours later he was back here at Ronald McDonald House laughing and playing. Pretty good considering its done under a general anesthetic. He's one tough little dude.
    Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

    I'm glad to hear he's doing fine and is back to being a typical boy.

    Default Study day

    Location: 32°28′05″N 93°55′16″W
    Music: Golden Earring – Twilight Zone… and then I didn’t really care
    Prep: Hot Shower
    Preshave: Proraso
    Scuttle: 1.5 Dirty Bird
    Soap: Omega + Musgo
    Brush: Vulfix 2233S Super Badger
    Razor: Wade & Butcher Barbers Notch Wedge
    Balm: Manetti Roberts Florentine Rose Water
    After Shave: Serge Lutens – Cuir Mauresque
    Result: Wonderful shave. Starting out with Golden Earring while I was whipping up a lather produced almost too much… awesome song. The rest of the shave was exceptional too; the W&B wedge that Max honed up for me works like a dream. Two passes just because it felt so good. Topped off with the last dab of a tester of Serge Lutens “Cuir Mauresque” I picked up over in Dallas a few weeks ago… I may have to break down and buy another cologne. But I really shouldn’t feed that AD while I’ve got three packages in the mail with soaps, creams, and other goodies that the wifey doesn’t know about… she just says, “your shaving cabinet is getting fuller it seems” and gives me a kiss on her way out.
    Good day gentlemen
    Eric
