Long day of travel today since the weather was bad in NJ, they delayed our plane 2 hours. Traveling with two women is tiring.
As soon as we were unpacked and the luggage was stored I took a very long, hot shower. Hotel showers in Florida just don't cut it. Since I am extremely tired I decided to forgo a straight shave until tomorrow and used a DE. The Acca Kappa whipped up quickly into a nice thick lather. The smell always makes me smile. The DE performed well but I am looking forward to tomorrows shave.

Hot Shower
warm oil
Dirty bird Scuttle
New Forest Badger
Acca Kappa shave cream
1959 Fatboy, set on 5, Wilkinson Blade
Aluminum astringent
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men.
After shave drink. Highland Park 18 year old.

Good news: there is no place like home.
Bad news: hve to fly out again Thursday

Enjoy the evening.

Long day today. Nice hike in the Red Rock Canyon Conservation area. By the time we got back, it was ~2:00-ish PM Vegas time and by the time I hit the gym, showered and shaved, it was 4:30PM. Max and I just chatted and decided to meet up tomorrow when we have a bit more time so I can check out his shop tomorrow.

Max: I just saw your post about holding off shaving, but albeit a few seconds too late. As soon as I posted this AM, computer was off and so were we. Sorry brotha. I will take you up on your W&B offer next time when we come to Vegas.

Rum: We're having a blast of a time here in the Wild Wild West. Wish you were her buddy and share the fun

Everyone: AWESOME shaves guys. I am too pooped and tired to comment on each

Dunc: Welcome to the fold friend. Looking forward to many more great shaves and posts from you.

My SOTD has no picture (too tired and lazy)
DE w/ Lord blades
New Forst badger
Ogallala Bay Rum Shave stick

Got a great shave this afternoon...Not as good or fun as when I am home with my straights, but good enough. The lather was OK, but I need to learn how to effectively face lather...I am a born bowl latherer

Off to decide where to eat dinner. Probably at a place called "Sage". Too many fantastic choices. If you guys haven't stayed at the Aria Hotel, you should try it. It's not the Vegas that you know...it's an architectural marvel. All the rooms are electronically controlled and regulated. I love it. My kind of technology.

I know this is a little off topic, but here's a few shots of our RRC (red Rock Canyon) trip today. Sorry, haven't had much chance to adjust for anything yet (when I get home I guess).






There's more to Vegas than gambling and what most folks realize

I am glad you are enjoying yourself. Vegas is an amazing place. Ever been to the Nevada test site? It is very interesting.
