All the Laphroiag are tasty. Excellent choice. I'm up for a new bottle. Going for the cask strength this time.

Gentlemen,
It's a soft morning in Wisconsin with snowflakes dancing a sassy mazurka. The shave took an hour today, because I spent half the time daydreaming. Oh, well . . .

My skin is pretty much better, but my right hand was sore this morning, so I got out the Alu and had a nice shave (not great, but nice).

My stroppingj has been improving lately, and I think my eyes are lasting better/ yielding better shaves.mI Stropped this razor 100 times on the leather, and then 10 laps on the back (rough) side, which is pasted with CrOx. nice, smooth close shave.

Happy Friday!!!

I had a chance to sample the Pendryn at a scotch tasting festival here in Vancouver BC recently, and I was floored by how good it was. It was my FAVOURITE single malt of the festival. very good stuff... Pretty expensive here in Canada, so I have not bought a bottle yet, but it's worth trying.

Thanks, Joe. In the shave den the world stops for me. I just fade away.
By the way, that soft snow earlier this morning has turned in to a snowstorm with a blinding whiteout. Now, that's what I call winter here in the province.
Stay well, my friend.
