SOS: August 2018

Not so tough here, actually. Central California. If I want the snow and ice in December, however, all I have to do is drive east, into the Sierra, and I can get all I ever wanted.

 

I understand, when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton we would surf in the morning and snow ski in the afternoon. You can't do that in Canada!

 

I can always count on this Filly for wonderful shave. It takes just the lightest touch to whisk those whiskers away.

At our family reunion near Lake Tahoe many years ago, some of us went to Squaw Valley and rode the gondola up a hill to look at the hockey arena where the USA got the gold medal in 1960. Winter Olympics in California-who mighta thought that?

 

Thanks Doug!

Excellent setup and picture Marine. Wish I was there on the bank with a line in the water

Pretty photograph Guy.

 

Great looking brush.

 

Thanks for liking my shave choice @PLAla -I was thinking of you because this Sunday and Monday the temperature is supposed to drop to the 60's. Might be time for good ol' Jeeves BR .

 

Sounds good, Paul. That's a great soap. I used mine up earlier this year.

 

That's right, you went on an all-Jeeves BR month, didn't you? We'll see if this 60's thing is comfortable enough for TSD Bay Rum A.S. Could be.
