    Well, we're back from 16 days in Ethiopia. We spent all but two of those days in Addis Ababa, with the other two days spent down south in the Sidama region (yep, the coffee-growing area). Lord seems the dominant shaving brand here, being made in Egypt. I also saw lots of Arko and Swedish Gillettes. Things are dirt cheap here. I bought a Lord set with a DE razor and 5 blades for Birr 12.50. That's less than $1.50. And it worked great! The Lord cream is excellent, and I got smooth comfortable shaves from the Lord razor and blades.

    Here are a couple of pix of one of my daughters posing with some shaving gear. Note that the Lord cream says not to use on children under 3. I guess she'll have to wait. :D

    The shaving gear is nice, but your daughter is much nicer.
    Such beautiful eyes. Congratulations.

    Hey Bob! Glad you're back safe and sound! Always interesting to see the Worlds shaving products. She's cute but you are right, too young to shave!

    Here's an updated picture of the one above (Niamh Dikate). Her sister looks just like her. :D

    Twins are a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. And we can't imagine it any other way.

    Really cute! Guess they will cause their father some sleepless nights, not only now but in some 15-years too, when it's time for boyfriends ;)
