I guess he's not going to be a fireman when he grows up...

I was talking to Jack on the weekend about the year he spent down at Sydney Childrens Hospital, and he said he liked the place, it was fun there. I dont know if he's just forgotten the bad stuff, or if the good times just outwayed the bad but it was a good feeling to hear his perception. SCH is a great Hospital though.
Hopefully Bailey has a few good times along the way. Sorry to hear about his arm, hope they get it sorted ASAP.

I had some serious stubble. I havent used this Manaslu for a long time. One pass was all i needed to get the same results some razors cant do in 3. Very pleased!

No shave today.



Had to be at work early this morning, and wasn't ready for one last night.

Monday evening, July 2

Prep: Chasing dogs around the house + hot shower

Strop: SRD 3" premium fabric x 50, red latigo x 100

Razor: JR Torrey 4/8 freshly honed

Brush: Thater 2 band

Soap: RazoRock Mughetto di Bologna

Post: Alum + Nivea Sensitive balm

Result:DFS

Not bad. First run with the Torrey, which may need a touch more work on the Naniwas. The lather was excellent, after I dailed it in. Lilly of the Valley is a favorite of the wife's, so last nights shave was a no brainer. Still smooth as I type this morning.

To my fellow Americans - Happy Independence Day.. stay safe, no one lose any appendages.
