Thats why the guys that hoarded bay rum in storage will be in good shape and the rest of us are going to see a price increase in good bay rum

Can you bring K-Pop to a grinding halt?

As soon as I get home, I will mmoc and report. Haven't been in Colorado much. And @9nein9 - I haven't forgotten you.

Snow arrived in Murray at 23:00. Had dinner out and beat it to my hotel by 70 minutes.

Enchiladas suizas cure many things.

I'll make that my top priority.

You really are a weather wizard.

Maybe we should order it for all of the world leaders. Might usher in the Star Trek utopia worldview.

Let's see... Hand made tortillas, softened in hot lard, rolled around steamed chicken, covered lightly with combo ancho chile and tomato salsa ranchero, topped over with shredded young cabbage and lettuce mix, scoop of guacamole and farmer cheese?

It's worth a try.

It's worth a try. With Cerveza Tecate or El Presidente grape whiskey, if so inclined.

I'd say it's worth trying for awhile. Gotta be totally sure it's good, right?

Add Cerveza Tecate, Flán and shots of El Presidente...and they'd at least all take the afternoon off. Not a great long-term plan, more of a starting place.


I gotta do a shout out here.

Los Portales in Murray KY is very good. The place would be at home in a bigger city. I claim to know... I've eaten at all kinds of Mexican (not Tejas-Mexican) places from NYC to actual Mexico, and Los Portales is as good as anything. Also, love rural KY. Massive Dinner and soda was about $11.

Neal is far from fair, he also sent the Yakuza away with fine steel, Astra, in addition to a ruble. Dark liquid is Osage. Light is Vitalis for my scalp, this week's cleanser. More on that in a minute. Shave was Great!

I consider spending two and a half days working and socializing with Neal and the Czarina to be with great time. Sure we hurt a bit, but the time passed quickly when things were hard, everybody had some laughs, and we got to share a meal together each day. We worked together to make it happen, loading crew be damned!! Gotta admit, when the real unload crew of three very young and very large guys arrived, it was right on time. Yakuza don't load trucks and carry boxes, unless the friend and Blade Cartel Czar named Neal has an empty truck emergency and a time deadline. Yakuza always handles that. Also, Czarina is Wonderful! Very nice gal, great company....she even cleaned the drying blood from my scalp, then disinfected and glued my slightly spilt head back together. I had a mishap on my lift gate and was in need of a patch. Then we had to get back to work... But hey, chicks dig scars, right? I can't say enough nice things about those two, I had a very good time being with them in Missouri.

When I have finished my Proraso, I plan to buy two sticks of Palmolive (should set me back about 98p) and grate them into the vacant tub... I might of course end up buying a nice handcrafted soap mug though... Who knows?!

Let me know if you need assistance or a translator.

We will trade you for K-pop, once they return from up north I will put them on a plane. Where should I send them? It seems your mobile these days.

Lather: Arko Cool
Aftershave: Clubman

Shave two is in the books, and it was a lot like yesterday. A little irritation, a couple of small weepers, but a DFS level of closeness. A decent start to my work week. Just one or two shaves left with the Arko Cool, and then it is on to something else for the dopp kit. I hope everyone has a great day

SOTD April 2, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick
Razor: Schick M1 adjustable injector
Brush: Zenith B02 boar
Soap: Soap Commander Vision
Post: Witch hazel, RazoRock Blue Barbershop aftershave

Back in the saddle after being out of town all of last week. It's pretty tough to return to reality, but at least a good shave helped things a little bit. Soap Commander always works so well and the Vision scent is a great portal to Springtime. Really nice overall. Not much else to report.

Enjoy your day!

Great photo and shave Jim.

Welcome back Perry. I hope you had a wonderful trip. Fantastic lineup and photo as well.
