semperfi 45,

May  I respectfully disagree with you.

A wind strong enough to fill those large, heavy, sails would surely have no problem blowing the puny pennants in the same direction it is blowing the sails and, coincidently moving that huge wooden vessel.
Mickey

That makes sense Mickey, however, if the large sails are full then the speed of the ship going to the left would blow the small flags to the right. Wouldn't you agree? Chime in here Doc!

#SOTD 8SEP17
Razor: Barbaros TR2
Blade: GSB (3)
Brush: WW 'Bishop'
Soap: APR Fresca
Post: CL Fourth & Pine Toner

My first go with the APR line of soaps and I must say that the scent from Fresca is exactly that, fresh; scent strength isn't overly strong but it is a very nice, fresh scent and perfect for a morning shave. Lather was easy to build, the soap is thirsty but I have plenty of water at home so it's all good The soap showed extreme slickness and residual slickness, post had a nice feel as well. I've been doing 2-pass shaves in the morning so I need my soaps to perform so I can achieve that BBS. APR is definitely a superb performer and I'm happy that I was able to purchase it.

The big surprise for me was the post shave finisher. It was the first time I had ever used a CL product and I was blown away at how wonderful and effective the toner was; I could feel my skin hydrating all day long from that small application and the scent was incredible. Fourth & Pine is now my favorite scent of all time, it's such a happy scent and it's refreshing at the same time. I had to immediately send a message to Shawn and excitedly ask for an EdT. Here's to hoping for something next year.

I must admit, Doug, the pennant on your beautiful ship definitely is blowing in the direction you say.
