The warmest ( 23C / 73F ) morning here so far this year. I'm getting ready for brunch on my deck.
Pancakes, eggs and bacon with a healthy dash of Canadian maple syrup on top.

Have a nice week.

Last nights shave:

Shaved in the shower. The one part of straight shaving I don't appreciate is that it is dangerous to do with a straight, I used a DE.

Hot shower
Stephan's Shaving cream
1956 Gillette, Wilkinson Blade
Lilac Vegetal AS
Vaseline for men.

Quick and easy shave while in the shower. Then off to dinner with the family. Anyone ever in Bergen County NJ and you like thin crust pizza, you have to hit Kintchley's in Mahwah.

Enjoy the day.
