  4. 3.6L V6. It's no hot rod but plenty of zip to it to scoot around traffic.

    Good morning, fellas!
    Just completed a fantastic shave!
    Today's random draw was my Rockwell 6C Razor. She really is a superb razor, but isn't in the Model T league of greatness! Decided to use my Semogue badger to face lather Stirling's orange scented Satsuma. I just love this scent and it puts a smile on my face everytime I use it. This wonderful scent stays strong during the entire shave. Did 2.5 passes with touchups without any nicks, etc. Applied the matching aftershave on this ultra BBS shave. It is a great way to start the day! Have a great day, guys! 20190616_085810.jpg 20190616_085810.jpg

    Sorry I've been scarce round these parts the past few days. My Bride and I went with friends to a Blues and Barbecue Festival in Henderson, KY. We had a great time. We sampled BBQ from two competing cities in Kentucky (Henderson and Owensboro) that both claim to be the BBQ capitals of the world. Over several days, I sampled turkey, beef, pork, ribs, chicken, and chip (mixture of beef and mutton), so I guess you could say that I collected quite a bit of data. I have established my baseline, and I'm ready to compare it against STL BBQ at the meet up next Saturday. ;)

    My travel shave kit consisted of my trusty plastic Gillette Trac II handle, a Personna cartridge, brushless Neutrogena shave cream, and unrefined shea butter. This simple kit provides a nice and close daily two-pass shave. It's quick, and my cartridges easily last four days. This morning at home, I used the Trac II with C.O. Bigelow cream and my 30 DC LE shaving brush, and the results were excellent. The cartridge has one more shave left in it, and then I'll store the handle for the next trip.

    Have a fantastic Sunday, and Happy Father's Day!
