The last two shaves have been hot lather and the Slim taking care of business. I also changed brushes. Each shave with three luxurious passes leaving me BBS for the win! Today my mother was moved from ICU to a regular room. Thank you gents for the prayers! Life is good!

It is good to hear mom is out of the ICU Tim. She and your family are still on our list.

I didn’t realize it has been a few days since I updated my journal. I’ve had lots of personal stuff going on behind the scenes the last few weeks. I have jumped on and posted a few things, but the journal slipped through the cracks. Mea culpa. TGITHMF! That’s right and I am ready for it.

Had a great lunch time shave today … don’t ask. Still working on finishing off this soap, but it keeps growing. Grrrrrrr. Today was a standard three passes and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!

IKR? I have put the tub in a live trap. I will get rid of those soap fairies.

...more put it next to a discontinued soap and hope the magic rubs off. Maybe there's a way to get more of those lost treasures. Lol.

Glad it was a great shave. Enjoy your Friday!

Kept the same gear again for the last two days. Just revisiting some vintage Gillettes. Another great shave this morning and I am BBS for the win! I have also made decent progress on this tub and expect it to be finished some time this coming week. I finally got finished with work about 1:30a this morning and I am ready for some downtime. Life is good!
