Top of the morning gentlemen. Started out this morning following a shower and ice water shave with a cup of Joe lounging in the lanai before a couple of service calls to the house by the AC and Pest Contol companies. Normal maintenance. Already warm at 7:15 AM. A flock of ducks, mother, father and about a dozen chicks came strolling by heading towards the po d across the street. May not be the safest place for the chicks as there are a few gators in the water.
I had a wonderfully close shave with the PAA Starling OC (GEM type) razor. Three passes have left my face ultra smooth. I am working towards finishing g up this soap hopefully by the end of the month. When that fateful day for the soap arrives, it will be the second tub that have met the Edmund Fitzgerald this year. Going into the year I set a goal for three soaps to meet the Edmund Fitzgerald. I might even attain four as the den reduction quest continues. Hogie’s,
@Hogie, soap acquisition during the first half of this year reminds me of myself approximately 4.5 years ago as I fell into the rabbit hole of a hobby. I acquired Ed many soaps purchased as well as via raffles.
I went on a NB (No Buy) since I believe June 2020 until the February when I decided I needed to add a few soaps such as Arko and Proraso Green to the Southern Den.
Well the missus and the offspring, Anthony, have left for an afternoon at one of the beautiful beaches here in Venice. My son is lobbying for lunch at Sharky’s.

Hope they bring me back something good.
on an aside, Anthony will begin his cooking lessons later this afternoon with the master, his Papa. He will be making Penne alla Vodka.
He wants to learn to make three thing La this summer, vodka sauce, Dad’s Italian meatballs and Pizza.
Have a great day gentlemen.
