Had it not been for the lovely scent of the soap, today's shave would have been perfectly soulless, although flawlessly efficient and quick, as well. The Mach 3 is the razor with which the alcoholic sting in my splashes is less perceivable, and I guess that means something. Lather was ready in less than a couple of minutes with this anodyne yet efficient French brush... In fact, the most efficient one in my den. Ready for work in five minutes after two passes and a few touch ups. Not BBS, but close, and I didn't need to, actually.

[align=center]hawns, I am so looking forward to the St. Louis Shave Meetup.  Airline tickets to St. Louis? √.  Hotel room booked? √.  Tickets to Shave Meetup? √.  Light rail and bus directions to Tower Grove Park? √.  Now, I just know you are going to bribe Mother Nature for some ideal San Diego weather in St. Louis.  You know, sunny, 72°, gentle breeze.  

Awesome! I am so excited, too, especially after the Maggard meetup. We now have Stirling, Sudsy Soapery, Black Tie Razor Co, The Artisan Soap Shoppe, Yeti Shaving and Straight Razor Designs coming. Also, I went to Memphis this past weekend at work and saw Sugarfire Smokehouse, the people catering the event, compete in the World Championship BBQ Competition cooking a whole hog.

So basically I'm saying that I'm getting very, very excited. Can't wait to see you there (and I'm really, really, REALLY hoping for some good weather too!)
