On a more serious note--that's great western scenery Robert. The colors of the landscape are so vivid they look like an artist's painting.

Monday:

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: TABAC
Brush: Omega 31064
Razor: Wade & Butcher 6/8 ths Wedge "American Razor"
Toner: Thayers Lemon W.H.
After Shave:Pinaud Clubman
Balm: Nivea Sensitive ASB

First shave with a wedge. What an interesting shave.

Tonight's Shave:
Razor: Genco Expert 6/8
Shave Cream: Proraso
After: Witch Hazel/Nivea ASB

Got this neat Genco in the mail today, the tail has "CLASSIFIED" stamped on one side. The little dude's in bed and the wife's out for the night so I broke out some homemade ginger wine, put some Mississippi John Hurt on the stereo, and got it cleaned up and honed. Darn good shave... smooth as a horses nose.

Wife and I just got back from some fun on the town and are pooped out...literally. We were planning to go to a restaurant called "Sage", but they were opening later in the evening and my stomach was not being patient (i.e., Starving), so we settled for a PUB at the Aria (wife's pick)...I must, we shared the BEST Fish and Chips I ever had . This thing was delicious. Topped that with some Irish Harp beer and this boy is very happy (and so is the wife). We'll have to try "Sage" on a different occasion.

Thanks Jeff...Went to the NTS some years ago. Quite an interesting experience I must say.

Impostor? Where? who? moi? No sir. Bladerunner is Harrison Ford for sure, but if you look under my details, my true pictures comes shining through, LOL.

Thanks Monroe...although Nature deserves the full credit. I merely captured millions of years of transformation in a millisecond.

Interesting "good" or interesting "bad"?

Congratulations on the Genco score. Looks beautiful indeed. Sounds like the perfect shave too. No distractions and pure Zen.

Tom and Robert: What great trips you guys have taken (one to a religios centre and one to ... well, Las Vegas )!! I hope you´re having a G R E A T time guys!

Good morning.

Close and very nice.

Oh - and something else: I've decided to (seriously) start shaving with a straight.
It'll be a steep learning curve, but I know it'll be enjoyable and thus I will persevere. More soon.

Yesterday was my first shave after the big move this weekend. Today I was in target and they were chock full of Shea Moisture brushes which I was very excited about since my old target had zilch. And since they had a jar of their shave cream I decided to give that a try as well. Too bad I shaved yesterday, going to have to wait till tomorrow to try it out.

Happy Constitution Day to all the Norwegian members of SRP.
