    Just the Basics June!!

    June 21

    Razor - Gillette Tech
    Blade [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Blood on Steel - Meet Up #1 LE Soap
    Brush - 30DC LE
    Post - Alum

    I'm happy to report that everyone except Charlie is safely in town that we were expecting for the meet up. He will arrive early tomorrow. Randy made it and I had a special greeting ready for the Cookie skeptic. Thought a man of his stature and wealth should be properly acknowledged. Took this just before the monsoon started today.


    ​
    We'll deal with the great cookie rebellion tomorrow. For tonight, the guys found some dinner and I came home to spend the evening with my lovely wife on our 8th anniversary. Good meal, we repeated our vows as we do each year and we should make it to number 9. Good times.

    The shave was quick and efficient. I pulled out the Blood on Steel from the meet up last year as I'll have the new version tomorrow. Also, my 30DC LE brush from @jtspartan a couple of years ago. Those at the meet up will have the chance to buy the new LE brush from Jason tomorrow, and I'll put the remainder up for sale on Sunday or Monday. The Cartel Politburo is meeting Sunday for a bit so it will depend on how sober.....er......much time we have left to see if I get them up on Sunday.

    The shave tonight - a nice shave with the Tech and Derby. Another near-BBS and that's good enough. Gotta be up early for breakfast and cookie distribution. You all have a wonderful Saturday and rest of your weekend!

    Excellent St. Charles shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Stirling samples are the perfect travel companion.
