    just arrived.

    though it came from across the pond with a nice brit fb tech, i believe this case to be correct for the late 50s brit flare tip rocket razor.

    it's a fine home for my rhodium rocket which was previously caseless.

    after a bit of trading with a buddy i got this windsor case in red/brown.
    not sure if this was a late 20's old type case or an early new, i opted for my 1940 gold tech to reside in it..;)

    Thanks Joe! I went to the gym and did 2 shoulder exercises and a chest exercise. Did not do the back. I did lose some strength, but it is to be expected since I haven't done serious strength training in awhile. I ate well again and that really is the best sign of recovery. I went to church tonight so for me to get out and about more really is helping my psyche. I am taking it slow and not in a hurry to go full throttle. I am not putting a timetable on my physical fitness progress. At this point, I am just happy to show up.
    I am excited that I will see some of my gym buddies tomorrow. I haven't seen them since Sept 30th.

    To my frag heads here on the shave den. I’ve been hearing that one of my absolute favorite fragrances is now been discontinued. Acqua di Gio Profumo. Ik there are a lot of fans of this fragrance here. Anyway if you are a fan, definitely would recommend buying a backup bottle if stores near you have left over stock. I have my giant bottle of it but I will be using it sparingly now.

    Awesome stuff Myles. I will always be praying for you while you are in the Marines. I can't believe it is 4 months since you started basic training. I hope you never get tired of it, but we are so proud of you.
