When he and I arrived at the hospital he had dropped to 37.8, and three hours later when we saw a doctor he was down to 37.6 So fortunately they let us go home. We got home at 6 am. just in time for a coffee before heading off to work. Fortunately Jacks temp has been stable all day.
I'm so tired I almost didn't shave, but instead decided to go the other way and have a nice luxurious Uber-lather 3 pass shave.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics Gentlemen
Grant

I was going to complain about my crappy shave today but that seems inane at this point.

I'm glad Jacky is doing ok and as always, in my prayers and daily thoughts. Godspeed to you and your family Grant.

I'm glad to see it behaved better this time around!

Thanks, It was a nice restore. I love any work from Glenn Ey. His brushes are fantastic and reasonably priced also.
The Boker is fantastic. It gives great feedback and if you listen, it wont hurt you. Very keen edge but slightly unforgiving to poor technique. It reminds me of a spike/Spanish point.

Good morning
Saturday Morning Shave,

Very nice, quick Two pass WTG shave

Following My decision to shave with a DE a few days ago (Feather Stainless), I was reminded of my much less expensive, but very, very nice shaving EJ 89L, so I dug it out from the back of the drawer. I am amazed that something as good as this, sells for such a reasonable price.

Have a Great Weekend.
