  13. Wow! I am all caught up! It was a great June, guys! July should be a blast! Lol! That wasn't a reference to the 4th of July fireworks! Looking forward to this upcoming month!

  14. Well, that's a wrap for June. Good riddance. It was some month for weather around here. "In like a lion and out like a lamb" is supposed to be March!
    For June I stuck to straight razors only. July? Beats me. I have lots of other razors being neglected. I'll probably leave the straights for the weekends. No definite plan for the weekdays. Just whatever jumps out at me. Except for Cinco de Julio, of course. ;)
    To close out the month, I pulled out Wholly Kaw's awesome Brut clone. Love the scent, and lather is second to none. Really. So many tallow soaps wish they were this good. He actually has it in an EDT too. Another thing I may pick up when NB19 is over. (Halfway there!)
    So, 3.5 passes with the Dovo. No blood. No irritation. Onward to July.

    That aftershave has the most perfect menthol kick.

  19. Sounds like you had a good time. Rained here all weekend but the fireworks still went off last night. Sun out for first time in days here today. Parade this afternoon then we will partake in some of the celebrations and find a cozy quiet locale for a bite to eat . Happy Canada day!

    Nice and easy two-passer followed by church and then a Louisville Bats ball game with good friends.

    June has been a blast. Shaved with a Mongoose, unpacked a zillion moving boxes, got a new driver's license and library card, saw some good friends and picked up some goodies at the meet up, and finished up with Super Speed Flare Tip.

    See you next month!
