    Words fail me. I can't imagine what you're going through at this time.

    Back on track for S of the W (I think) so here's what is up for next week:

    Hybrid razor = EJ head/Scotch & Stowe handle
    Vie-Long Silver Tip brush
    Viking "Citron" SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe & Viking "Citron" balm
    Assorted A/S

    I like all the individual parts and hope they all like each other. We'll soon find out.

    Had a rough weekend in the hospital, found out I have an ulcer on my colon. Not sure if it's cancer or not, waiting for biopsy. Regardless, going to have to have surgery and that sucks.

    But my Shave of the Week will be:

    Gillette New razor (short comb)
    Astra SP blade
    JR #85 brush
    Zangari Man "The Wanderer" Shave Soap
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    The Zangari Man is new so I chose other tried and tested items to eliminate any problems. Looking forward to this. The scent of the SS is marvelous and I'll keep ya'll posted.

    Man, you're being asked to carry some serious weight. All the best with the outcome(s).

    Yeah, things are a little rough right now. Fortunately I have my 4 children very close by and they are all wanting to help in any manner needed. Blessed that way.

    Dude, you let us know how it goes. Might not be anything we can do for you physically, but we're here if you need someone to chit chat with.

    Thanks y'all. Like I said, a little rough right now. And with this corona virus thing going on it's nice to have a place to go.

    Sorry to hear that. I had pretty much the same problem about 18 years ago. I'll be praying for you.

    Mostly satisfying, BBS shaves with this gear. It seemed like the blade was beginning to fail on Thursday's shave so I replaced it for Friday & today. I'd not had that happen in years with those blades as I change out blades every Saturday and am good to go for the week. Finished up the week with 2 nice shaves.

    The RR Don Marco soap and AS splash have a delightful scent that is long lasting. As with all RR soaps, the performance is top notch.

    I haven't picked next week's line-up yet but will post tomorrow morning.

    Soap: RazoRock Tuscan Oud
    Brush: Omega 10065 synthetic
