    None for me today as I'm feeling a bit sick. not sure if allergies or a cold but it sucks either way. Nice long hot shower mon morning and a shave will be nice.

    A bit of a cheat, here. This was yesterday's afternoon shave in preparation for a formal event for "Sweet Sixteen" celebrating the sophmore girls at my daughter's school. A full prep was needed, so I called on the Swedes. Eric Anton Berg provided a sweep of a 3 day growth and it's smaller, smiling cousin, the Ran-tan-Ka-rus accomplished up-close trimming and detail. Razorock limited, Thater, and Stetson filled in a super nice grooming, even for me! The purple tux accessories matched my daughter's dress perfectly for the Father and Daughter dance!
    They grow up so soon!
    Have a super week, Guys!

    Sweet 16, I remember mine very well. They do grow up way too fast. Enjoy her while you can.

    Late Sunday Shave
    Prep: 3 mile run, bob in the pool with Grandkids, hot shower
    Razor: Lecran Cutlery
    Brush: Semogue 2000
    Soap: L'Occitane en Provence
    AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Black Suede ASB

    A nice long 3 pass haircut with a one pass touch up on the face. A little later than I normally prefer to shave but grandkids have a way of rapidly changing the normal routines. My grandson of course got his shave on afterwards. His shave was with a bladeless 1912 Gem his finish was Clubman AS
    The older I get, the better I was
