Thanks.

 

Thanks John. I appreciate your kind words.

Yes, the volunteer work at the hospital has been a lifeline for me and Kathy. Most of my time volunteering these days is in the NICU. I absolutely love it. It is a constant reminder that life is precious and relationships (with God first, then with others) are ultimately all that matters.

Our friend, Caleb, and his Mom have become dear friends, as well as an inspiration, over the last several years. I admire guys like Caleb who "get it" so early in life. It has taken (and still takes) me much longer to figure things out.

I'm gonna get a few more shaves in with the B-P. I'm hearing rumors of ice cream on the meetup buffet line, so I want to sit real close to the soft serve machine.

Have a great week, John, and think about taking the B-P for a spin.

 

Thanks Joe.

I have much to learn from you regarding physical fitness. You are another inspiration to me, my friend.

 

May 5 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Schick E-3 Injector
Ted Pella Injector Blade (8)
Stirling Boar Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 24 hrs.



Did a 3 passer for a close, comfortable shave. I think the blade may have just 2 more shaves until I bin it. We will see.
There wasn't any major blood appearing so that's always a good thing.
Angora Soaps always performs well. Here's my lather:



Alum gave me some feedback on the neck and that was it. Finished the shave in my usual manner. Take care.

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Thanks, Joe.

Arko is one of the cheaper commercial soaps out there and its industrial lemony smell is certainly nothing to write home about, but it lathers very easily and always just plain works. Which, when all is said and done, is really all you need in a shave soap. Exotic intricate scents and fancy skin conditioning ingredients may add to the pleasure of the shaving ritual; they don't help remove the whiskers. (Says the guy with three scents of Martin de Candre shave soap and dozens of other "luxury brand" soaps and creams in his stash... )
