Yeah, I know what you guys are going through, yesterday I moved eight bottles of German Beer to my face repeatedly until they were all empty, boy, I'm really feeling it today!

Prep:Hot Towel
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:Semogue 830
Strop:SRD PIV
Soap:AOS Sandalwood
Razor: Maxtom 8/8
After shave: Ogallala Cedar & Sage
EDT: L'Occitane Vetyver


Result: Today's shave was a very quick 2 pass shave with my most prized razor. Excellent results considering I was rushed. I had planned on a very relaxing, drawn out shave today...but the 2 ½ year old had other plans. I believe she has hit the “3's” early as her new favorite word is “NOT”. This word seems to pop up in the strangest places. Allow me to provide a few entertaining examples.

Example #1: She didn't want to go to bed and I was carrying her up the stairs when she smacked me in the face. She was rewarded with time out and in order to get out of time out, she must say “Sorry, no hit Daddy”. Well, she kept saying “I NOT sorry, I NOT sorry!”....this was really hard not to laugh at. After a long drawn out battle, she finally got it right.

Example 2: She was crying as I accidentally scared her when I hurried towards her saying “no,no,no” in an effort to to keep her from hitting her head on a wooden scarecrow while we were at the pumpkin patch. I picked her up and said “It's ok, Daddy loves you”...her reply “No, No, No, Daddy NOT love you!”, my wife chimes in “yes Daddy loves you, tell Daddy you love him”...her reply, ”No, I NOT love Daddy, I NOT!”...a little sting as this was the first time I heard that, but again, difficult not to laugh at the assertion of this normally sweet little girl.

Example #3:At Sunday school, they do 1 memory verse each month. They work on the verse each Sunday, even with the 2 year olds. This month's verse is “I can do all things through Christ”. Here is what she said is her memory verse “I can do all things through NOT Christ”...I'm speechless and trying, again, desperately not to laugh.

Great shaves fellas, keep them coming!

Nice Klas...Is she too small or that the scales are on the thin side? Well done on a nice shave. Love those cuffllinks too. How many do you have?...

Hi Robert,
No, it's not too small, just very, very light and the scales are REALLY thin. Very beautiful, it is. I have about 30 pairs of cufflinks, all vintage, all from eBay for not very much money. Some are worth a lot more than I paid for them. Choosing what cufflinks to wear every work day is a pleasure akin to choosing the razor, cream and AS...

DD 6/8-La Toja/TOBS Jermyn Street-Lubriderm

There is nothing (well almost) better then after a long work day hitting a hot shower and a nice relaxing shave! The LT and TOBS mixed up into a fine lather. Thick and silky with Jermyn Street scent blending around the house. The Goldedge took care of all the offending whiskers with out a hitch. Have a great Mon gents. I'm prob going to take a off day.

Paul

Beautiful Series to end (my) evening/night...

Glenn,
Firstly, that Maxtom of yours is a thing of beauty. Max' work is just elegant.
Secondly, your daughter sounds like a handful buddy. Kids say the darnest things and in funny ways. Enjoy her ways for several years...once she hit her teens, it's probably a whole different ball game, LOOOOL.

I know what you mean...I have a Bengall in real ivory scales which are very thin and there's always that fear of breaking them.

PS: Great to see someone else is a BIG fan of cufflinks.

EA,
Now, that's a point of view that I had not entertained before ;-). I like it. Hope there are morer reasons to get out of bed for, LOOOL. Well done with the shave buddy. Gorgeous Spartacus.

Beautiful DD Paul. Probably one of the most pristine I have seen (with gold tang and all).

PS: You deserve a day off bro...You've been pushing too hard on all cyclinders.

LOOOOOOL. I love this new classification Paul...But not sure what you are talking about with "you being around long enough" or "your number being up" or "being stable in the states". This kind of talk worries me bro. Hope all is well and you are not being shipped somewhere in Timbuktu.
