    Yo Bama...I just realized....you called the Puppy Card....Man, you're smoking! AND you're doing the Puppy thing....
    Man, I haven't had a Dog since my best friend past in 90...and my wife has never had a puppy...Sooo we got a puppy about a month ago...8 week old Lab/Rottweiler mix...Soo cute, smart and I had puppy watch for the first week....Maaann, I guess, that 2 hour cycle of walking etc, etc...Don't get me wrong...I was crazy for that pooch, but Your words, when you pulled the Puppy Card, did not fall on deaf ears....:happy097:

    Course you're gonna have to fess up on what kind, how old, etc...Can't pull the card without producing the pup....ha,ha

    I certainly had an off day to day as far as shaving. All the shaves this week have been an A to A+ but I would be generous in giving today's shave a B. Everything was going pretty well through the first 2 passes but started to fall apart on the ATG pass with a great deal of tugging and pulling. I ended up with 2 small weepers and no where near a BBS shave.

    On the positive side, this little Romera Synthetic brush is truly something else. It just flat works with everything from easy to lather soaps like Catie's Bubbles to the difficult soaps like Mystic Water. The fact that it looks fantastic only adds to the enjoyment. Thanks again Mark, @Boojum1 for such as nice gift.

    Finished off with a splash of CC Sandalwood and I'm off to the Flea Market. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Aw shucks, I threw away my Clubman Tonic so as to clear space for my two Clubman hair gels coming(by the way, they now have been officially shipped-I am so excited). Clubman doesn't make you wait long on puchases.

    Aftershave: Myrsol F./Extra
    I really enjoyed this shave. The 53 Super Speed is easy to use, if you haven't tried the new IB $4.99 soaps you owe it to yourself... Outstanding all around product. Myrsol F./Extra continues to impress me with its healing properties. Great stuff.
    I ordered a door storage organizer for my back stock of soaps, I hope this helps me get my hard to reach soaps more accessible.

    I think my face is healed up from my last Russian run in. Today I'll try it again with a different soap or cream.

    Neal's style is a blend of Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, and Kurt Vonnegut. In other words, his posts can keep you awake at night. :p
