Cool Shower
Green Marvy Mug
Omega Pro Boar
Tweex Shave Stick

The Tweex has found a home stuffed into the bottom of my Marvy mug, it is very clean smelling and gives a great shave. I think I will have to procure another Marvy though, I have lots of creams and soaps still to get through.

It has been an awesome nine days here on the Island, but it's time to pack it up and head home tomorrow.

Have a great Memorial Day. Thank You to all the Veterans and enlisted Folks still serving, keep safe and God Bless!

I had my wife pick out my entire shave tonight. She picked the razor because the handle is pretty, she had me super lather the Williams and TOBS together because she thought they would smell good together, and she likes the smell of the Dirty English. You know what, the super lather was great. Smelled good and had amazing cushion.

Goodnight.
