I have never liked umbrellas personally, but six years as a taller-than-average grad student in St Andrews (where those huge %^&$%#! golf umbrellas are de rigeur) meant six years of near constant fear for having my eyes jabbed out by those pointy bits. Can't stand the things.

I've had it for about five years now so I'm sure the style is no longer available, but there are some close here: Stetson Cowboy Hats - Collections - The Standard In Western Hats

Ta. I'll check out the site. I quite like umbrellas, I think they are very gentlemanly. Not golf umbrellas, goodness no, nice black umbrellas with wooden handles...

Mid week shave is usually a quickie. Tonight I used a DE to make it faster. Day light savings time kicks my butt. Takes a few weeks for me to adjust.

Hot shower and shave
Cade soap, badger brush
1959 Fat boy, Derby blade
lilac vegetal
Vaseline for men

SWMBO is fast. She put the stuff back on the shelf before I was dry. Not even in the correct place.

The picture was right side up when I loaded it. Someone is going to have to explain this to me.
