7 people killed in the bombing, and 10+ young people killed in the youth camp shooting. RIP

To those killed RIP, and to those bereaved my thoughts and prayers are with you.
It is a wicked and cruel world, I understand that they have someone in custody so hopefully the group responsible will become clear soon. Yes its best IMO to carry on as normal to send a message to those who would have us too scared to move that they will never, never win.

Still hot as HELL here! 930 pm and its 94 in my room. UGH!

I chose a cold water shave tonight. Surprised HUH! Bag of ice on my face and neck. Brush in cold water. I chose Proraso and Nancy Boys for there cooling. The tough decision was which razor. I was going for a W&B but came across my Coronet. I havent used that in a while. What an awesome choice to handle 3 days of stubble. Smooth effortless shave. 3 passes because it felt soooo good to shave.

It´s a terrible thing that happened and my heart and best regards go out to everyone struck by the terror. May the dead RIP and the wounded heal fast! We where watching the news all day yesterday, it´s so hard to understand this random act of violence.

My brother people has been struck hard and without justice and I wish the guilty will be captured sooon, all of them - I can understand the frustration behind things like this, but why kill people by random if you´re frustrated and been treated wrongly (or think so - no one actually treated Osama wrong)?? This time a lot of young and innocent died, again.

Very very shocked by the news of the terrorist attacks in Norway! It's a big tragedy!


Birnando,
congrats, you have a nice collection of Acqua di Parma! How are you happy with them?
I just ordered one Acqua di Parma Intensa. What is your opinion what is the difference between Acqua di Parma and Acqua di Parma Intensa?
