Talk to me on Friday after we get the all clear on the bone marrow test and I'm sure I'll be much happier.
...Anyway a quality shave helped improve my mood.
I went with some old friends. The Proraso was my first good soap, the Gotta was one of my first razors, the Illinois my first strop.
All ingredients from the pre-Leukemia days. I found some comfort in that.
3 great passes for a fantastic BBS
Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys

Wish I was closer so I could do more than extend my good wishes.

RESULTS: FANTASTIC WAY TO START THE MORNING.

Well I haven't had a chance to use a real straight in a long time, been mostly using DE's, but I managed to finish this one and have a shave with it. Ahhhh it felt great to use a straight again, it mowed down my 1 day growth with ease, and left no signs of irritation. Also it was my 2nd time using my ADP and I finally nailed down the water ratio, and was rewarded with fantastic lather. One for the books

GENTS HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

P.S. sorry for my double-ish posting. I just realized how to use the multi-quote feature.

Grant, your strength and courage, not to mention positive attitude, through this trial are an inspiration to us all. Know that I have your little Jack in my thoughts and I wish you only good news ahead. Stay strong, we are with you!

At last I've successfully set the bevel and honed a razor, in this case a recent auction acquisition!!!
