I fear that the US economy is only being bolstered up until November. We really may have the same problems and they are just being held at bay. We can only hope.

Prep: hot water, Barbasol
Brush: van der Hagen boar
Soap: Veleiro Shave Cream
A/S: Nivea For Men

I got my package from Portugal today (thanks again Miguel and sorry for the confusion), so now I have an assortment of shave creams to try.

I can't say enough for my van der Hagen boar brush. Yes, the one from the Walmart kit for $8. It's broken in to be a big, floppy, lather bulding beast. It's so soft at this point that I bought a small stiff boar brush for my hard soaps. It's rediculous, in a good way.

To all my SOTD brethren that passed on their congratulations, I want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart. You have all become such wonderful friends, and it means a lot to be recognized by you all!

I didn't get mine in in time Bill, but congrats Bro!! And Bella! Sorry for your situation, and I hope it all works out for your son and his family. I understand completely as we are in a very similar situation!

My best to you both!

Today I received my package from Lee's. I had to replace my 1305 after my friend dropped it and took a chunk out of the handle. I sent him home with that and he bought me a new one and a puck of MWF

I didnt use the 1305 as it still needs another wash before I put it to my face.

Thursday

Yet ANOTHER day off work, this time to take Bailey to hospital to get his port changed. He wasn’t happy, but afterwards in the playground he was happier.

Anyway, this morning’s shave with the Burrell was great, except I found a dark spot on the blade. I’ll have to make sure I dry it better.
