    I absolutely love the B&W photos.


    The Bigelow Cream is some great stuff. I really didn't care for the Proraso soap but the cream just seems to work much better for me.


    Gorgeous brush.

    Wonderful setup and photo Charlie. Great to have you back.

    Great looking photo.

    Great work on sticking with the brush and figuring out the issue.

    have gotten worse

    Thank you guys. She has a Labrum Tear in her right hip. Over the last year, she has been a real trooper living through a lot of pain while trying all the possible solutions short of surgery. If anything the symptoms and pain level have gotten worse. She put the surgery off until this week so she could enjoy Homecoming. The surgery itself is outpatient but the recovery will last from 6-12 months with at least 2-3 months or more on crutches. We appreciate your prayers.

    I've used both COB & Proraso Green.
    I give a slight edge to COB. Which is funny considering Proraso makes it

    I didn't love the smell of Clubman the first time I used it, but it grew on me. Now it's a regular part of my rotation. I feel the same about Florida Water. It took a little time to "acquire the taste" for them.

    I'm right there with the rest of the guys, praying for your wife, Clint.

    Thank you, Gents.
    I have often changed my opinions on scents greatly after using them several times. Gentleman and Unconditional Surrender come to mind as two that I was ambivalent about initially and became favourites.

    I've been trying really hard to thin the herd and weed through the fruits of my RAD, SAD, BAD issues, but it isn't easy. I got several new soaps in, and in trying to reduce duplicates, I have taken several pucks and put them in the "On the Trading Block" section of my shave den. This morning, trying to pare down razors, I decided to shave with a Shick Krona that I bought 6 months ago, but have not yet tried. Dang it! Despite the mild nature of this razor, I enjoyed shaving with it. I really gotta get rid of some stuff. Well there's always tomorrow...

    Thank you Randy for the thoughts and prayers.

    I did have a pretty good day. The last of the tax returns are completed. Whew. A bit of time to catch our breath before we get into the year end drama.

    Wow, tough news. Is this the daughter you were visiting Universities with, Clint?

    No this is my youngest daughter Maya. She is a senior in high school and will be going to university next year. My oldest daughter Asha and I were visiting universities for her PhD program.

    That is a beautiful razor, Keith. I award it the 30DC official Dolphin shave certification.

    Of course. You mentioned checking out Graduate schools when you posted your travel pics. It's coming back to me now... hiking in West Virginia as I recall.

    That's the amazing thing about Flipper&friends-even when they ram sharks, they come away smiling.

    I get confused half the time myself. In the end I just hope she gets some relief from the pain. I would like her to be able to begin her college journey without lingering pain if it is possible.
