SoS; February 2018

Menthol Monday Madness over here - what a beautiful bone-chiller of a BBS shave this was from the Glacial Obsidian soap. The Derby blade in my Junjie went skating across my face and easily knocked off the tough stubble in two passes. The matching balm and the Arctique kicked up that freeze to a different level!

Have a great week, folks!

 

For me, a repeat performance from Sunday-thus the menthol additive in the Stoylin Sandpiper A.S. qualifies me for "Men-thol Mon-day"(oh, no I should stop before I sing the Mamas&Papas again!!)

Love the photo and the brush Clint.

 

Thank you! It's unfortunately an Omega Hi-Brush, BUT I use it as it performs like a boar so I use it in that aspect. I almost used my old Surrey boar or Fuller but wanted to avoid a soak and knock out a quick 3 pass cold water head shave.

Plus, I swear Marvy made that green rubber mug to have a puck of Williams in it at all times! That fresh puck is sitting on the remnants of the pucks that went before...Perfectly mated for life!

Well Gentlemen; I`ve really, I mean, really been under the weather (not complaining), just stating a fact. More than 1 illness at a time, just as soon as I got over the 2 another 1 came out of nowhere. Been down about 3- 3 1/2 weeks. Sure glad to be on the mend (HOPE). There was 1 funny episode I would like to pass on to you. I use those 'hand Sanitizers' a lot. Well I completely forgot how to use it, I had to go ask my wife how I was supposed to get the gel inside, out to my hands. I completely forgot how to do a number of simple tasks tat a child could do. The Dr.s thought I had a stroke, but not so.
IT was an anomaly to both sides of my brain instead of just 1, like in a stroke. Really felt weird for about 8-10 hours. Scared hell outta me. I think I`m on the mend, God willing, and may god Bless each of you.

Bill
