Comments :
On Saturday, I felt like giving the old cartridge razor/shaving gel setup a bash. I wish I hadn't bothered. The whole event was messy and tedious. Todays setup was much more pleasureable, with no smell of propellant whatsoever. Also, what struck me was the fact that the Old Spice a/s stung like hell when I slapped it on, on Saturday... yet it didn't sting one bit today. Nor are there any odd red blotches today. Gillette isn't the best a man can get anymore, which is sad seeing the products they once produced.~ Dave ~ ... back to lurking...

I just finished a military history book--Volume 3 of Rick Atkinson's "Liberation" trilogy--The Guns at Last Light.
It's one of the best books, if not the best book, I have ever read about World War II.
The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 (Liberation Trilogy): Rick Atkinson: 9780805062908: Amazon.com: Books
Here's a YouTube link of Atkinson discussing his book.

Some times I try too hard; some times I say fudge it.
I am glad I said fudge it.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

Yes indeed, a remarkable text. I have not read any of it in awhile. The writings have helped me get through the past week.
