Congratulations!.
And welcome to the fraternity.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes on the birth of my son and my initiation into fatherhood! You gentlemen are a special bunch and I am proud to share this slice of my life with you all.

Special thanks to Bill for the Sesame Street shave dedicated to my son!

Maybe not the best choice of words on a shaving forum...

The sentiment is appreciated, nonetheless...

Wednesday shave has been completed!

Music today was easy, I got inspired when I saw Elvis Comeback Special beeing played here a couple of days ago, so Elvis it was. My first ever record was an Elvis single I got from my mother when I was a kid, and I have loved his music ever since.

Pulled out the Thiers-Issard 7/8 Ramshorn today, gave it a lesson on the Scrupleworks 3" strop, made a huge amount of Castle Forbes Lime, man I love that smell and perfect lather, using a Simpson Chubby 3 and Schwartzweiskeramic XL.

The bathroom was filled with the finest smell of natural Lime and Elvis Presley, and my face was ready for TI 7/8 treatment. 3 passes later my face was as clean as my eight years old stephdaughter, and TOBS Sandalwood aftershave gel completed the pleasant half hour. Now I feel ready for the gym before working the night shift.

Thank`s all for fine post`s earlier today, wish you all a great day!
