Well thanks! And you?

 

May-hem 2020

Baume.BE~~Simpson~~Feather AC~~Ogallala
It's difficult to believe that we are almost to June 1. The days really move along.
Savor them, my friends.
Outstanding shave in every way shape and form today.
The Belgian cream, with its distinctive scent of marigolds, is some of the easiest lather to create.
It also produces a wonderful slickness and shine.
Mos def© Primo's #1 shave cream.

The Feather AC is also a real pleasure to use. The Professional Super blade is still really sharp.
Got momentarily distracted by Dr. Mrs. Primo while shaving under my nose.
Nothing major, but still a red spot.
Otherwise a lovely shave.
Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes and Peppercorns always gets the SWMBOASOA©

Looking good Evan.

 

Thank you Tim.

 

I'm fine.... happy to see some "suds" in my Acqua Shave Cream Soap(RazorRock). Gonna take a while for that to happen with my other Razorock(Lime Burst-it's triple milled.)

 

Great looking shave Tim. You are on the home stretch now.

 

Fantastic shave lineup and photo Jim.

 

Thank you, Clint!

Love the Shave Mobiles.

 

Gorgeous Mark. I hope you are doing well.

 

Wonderful photo Blair. The CH2 Royal Pearl looks fantastic.

 

Your razor just looks so freaking cool. It has a prison vibe that completes the look. Good luck with work.

 

Excellent shave lineup Joseph. I love the Feather with the wood scales.

 

fine shave and pic Joseph..

 

I don't blame you for being scared. I stole that from the following:

 

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys are all doing well. It has been a busy, but productive week. We have more significant milestones ahead of us next week. The first couple of photos (and comments for each) in the album link I posed earlier have details if you are interested. A few of you have checked in and have deposited comments and photos, and we really appreciate that.

I have enjoyed four Minnesota Nice shaves with my birth year Slim, my 30 DC LE brush, and Tabac soap (the manly stuff). Post-shaves 'round these parts have to be unscented, so I'm using either Stirling Unscented Body Lotion and/or USB. I also brought a puck of Mike's Hungarian Lavender that will eventually get used here.

The weather here in Rochester has been wonderful. We had a slight hint of humidity on Tuesday. We had goosebumps, but the locals were sweltering.

Mayo Clinic is staffed with some of the most knowledgeable and kind medical professionals that we've ever met. We are truly blessed and humbled to be here. Many of the businesses are still closed, but the downtown area still has plenty to see. We try to get out for a several walks a day. We decided to order Italian takeout tomorrow. This will be our first restaurant meal since March 11. We are celebrating a transplant "victory" with some new friends we made here, so that will be fun. And, yes, we have ice cream in the freezer.

Face masks, hand sanitizer, hand washing, and social distancing is a thing here. We don't wear face masks in our room, but they are required most everywhere else. We initially had some reservations about making the trip during the pandemic, but it's actually a relief to be out again. We are learning that the precautions we'll need to take in the coming weeks will be even more stringent for awhile.

I'll jump back in a little more often after the next couple of weeks. Until then, you might see me peeking around the corner and sneaking a cookie every so often.

Be good, y'all.

 

So good to hear from you, Charlie! Great to hear things are going so well. Continued prayers my friend.

B&M Bay Rum
Dominica Grand Bay Rum Aftershave



Happy Saturday everyone. The remaining soap was scooting around the bottom of the container making loading impossible. I scooped the soap out and pressed into the ridges of my bowl and started to whip a lather. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near BBS shave. The B&M Rum soap is dead and gone. I hope everyone has a great day.
