Same here...Congratulations on your grandson's birthday. Children are a blessing and each year they are with us is a blessing as well.

As for your elder son and his family.... It looks like you can barely hold back the tears in the photo. But think of the good that may result from his decision.

It may unlock a golden opportunity that will result in unexpected rewards--both to him as well as you.

Take care, my friend.

Thank you Monrore, my old friend.

It's been a weird week for razors. I spent most of the month assuming I wouldn't get anything, and now I suddenly find it's raining razors. What better way to celebrate than shaving, eh?

Preshave: Hot shower.
Cream: Al's Da Bomb, Calypso (working my way through a sampler pack to find what I love best -- damn, they're all good!)
Brush: Omega Pure Tasso
Razor: 1956 stainless steel труд вача surgical razor, thank you Andrey! (Bonbon on SRP)
Post-shave: Pat-dry and marvel at the lack of whiskers!

My shaving Wednesday afternoon:

Prep Floïd preshave oil
Brush Semogue 1438
Soap Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad
Razor Dovo Special 6/8"
Post Thayers unscented + Myrsol emulsión
AS TOBS Bay Rum



Good shave today. The Nomad and the Semogue 1438 brush make a wonderful couple. The foam is very spongy, hydrated and aromatic and the razor glides very well and shave without any complications.
The post, wonderful.

Regards. Saludos

Bela (If I may call you that sir), I hope all works out for your family. It's rediculous that we, as Americans, think that our econmy is in tatters. We wear blinders to the rest of the world. I hope for your sake that Europe can find a way out of debt.

And congratulations Bill (again, if I may).

Warm Shower, Stephan's Warm Oil
AOS Sandalwood Shave Soap
Badger brush
Puma, 5/8
Thayer's Lemon AS
Vaseline for men

Tonight I face lathered as I used to do for many years. I did not realize how warm the scuttle actually keeps the lather. Nice, quick shave tonight.

Bad(?) news (for me): Today is a sad day for me. My elder son with his family today emigrated to Nepal. Unfortunately, in Hungary (even) is more difficult the life. They hope to find work in Kathmandu. I hope they will succeed in their plans.
(My wife is also became unemployed and we living from my pension.)

...and the last picture today at the airport:

Bela, I am sorry your family had to move away. I know the feeling as my two girls are now away from home most of the time. I wish them the best of luck and good health.

Bela,

May God speed you son's family to a bright future in Nepal, and bring you comfort until you see them again.

Bill,

Congratulations... Sir!
