First day back at work in over a week.  First and foremost, I want to thank you for your inquiries regarding the health and well being of my father.  Unfortunately, he passed Monday afternoon from complications resulting from COVID 19.  He lived a long and healthy life.  From my recollection, this is the first time he was ever significantly sick and in the hospital.  I will remember him as a man that had a zest for life and keep himself active.  Yesterday, I decided to enter a raffle for the razor posted below, Pre-1897 Taylor  Eyewitness 1000.  I purchased three slices of pizza using the numbers 2, 3 and 9.  This was my father's room number in the hospital.  The admin substituted, due to availability, the number 9 for 5.  The raffle produced the number 5.  Therefore, every time I will use this razor I will have another remembrance of him.

Today's shave continued with the 1508.5 Project with the Loose Screw Uncomfortably Numb soap.  For the past week, although I have not posted the shaves, I have used a disposable cartridge razor, Bic.  Although the shaves were close, I missed my straight and DE razors.  The W & B produced a close and comfortable three pass shave.  I am ready for the Yutes and whatever else this day brings my way.
Hope you have a great day gentlemen.
