He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

I gave this W&B a little touch-up today with the Coticule and Thuringian, but to be honest it didnt seem to do a lot for the edge. I'll give it a little more tomorrow.
Still a great shave though.
We had a nice warm day down here today so I went with the Bigelow menthol balm. Feel like Summer might be just around the corner.
Enjoy the weekend boys

A pair of photos from my trip to Mobile, Alabama of the World War II era U. S. S. Alabama (BB-60 -- South Dakota class). Oh my! What a humongous ship; and what a contrast to the non-violent philosophy and tactics of the civil rights movement. This is clearly an instrument of war.
