My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Cancer is a bastard.

Gentlemen, thank you for the condolences.
We're all still a bit shocked. My aunt started having headaches in early April, which her doctor thought was a sinus infection. She was taken to the hospital the day after Easter where they found tumors in her brain and lung. She was only given a few days to live. Later in the week, a surgeon was able to remove the tumor in her brain, which at least allowed her to live long enough to see her son graduate high school.
I tend to get strange looks from people when I say that I use straight razors, namely because I have a beard. I explain that I have to shave my neck and cheeks and I think that a straight does the job as no other.
I only need to shave three times a week, so I really enjoy it when I do. Last night's shave was particularly enjoyable.
Razor : Abram Brooksbank " The Edinburgh Razor "
Brush : FS Silvertip Richmond, Large Knot
Soap : MWF
Pre shave oil while waiting for dish to warm and brush to soak.

A wonderful close shave after two passes and a wee tidy up. No soreness or blood drawn !

Nice to be home. Long weekend and I hate using the dreaded disposable. As always it was nice to see everyone's SOTD while gone. It helped keep my spirits up!
