    I remember as if it had happened yesterday the emotion felt fifty-seven years ago: I was moving from one classroom to another when the news of Jack Kennedy's assassination arrived.
    It is difficult to realize, at the moment, when you are living an epochal event...
    I remember, I don't know why, the comment of a girl -Let's hope it wasn't the communists, otherwise it's WW III!-

    And I remember thinking, with the selfishness of a seventeen year old boy, that I had missed the opportunity to meet the President: a short time before, we foreign students in the Washington D.C. area, six or seven, had been invited to Andrews Air Force Base to meet Kennedy who was about to embark to go to Dallas to a football game, but, we were told, that some issues arisen in Viet Nam who requested his presence at the White House.
    So all that was possible was to take a group photo on the Air Force One boarding ladder.

    Later we were invited to the White House, where I shook Johnson's hand, but... he was not Kennedy and a thousand people was not the same thing!

    More banal and less memorable my shaving today that, as most of the times, does not deserve special comments.

    The Musgo Real classic scent shaving soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #419 Two Band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher razor with a Heljestrand Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Great first shave with the Timeless Slim. Efficient yet quite smooth. It’s a blade feeler but, it’s not over the top and exhibits no harshness. A wonderful Sunday and shaves to all....    ​

    John Beeman Little chicken in hot water

    Sunday:

    hot shower with Jabon de Reuter bar soap
    Maggard Lime PSO
    Maggard Slant 3 passes
    Rapira Stainless (2)
    Mondial Tabacco Verde soap in a warm mug
    VDH Deluxe boar
    Thayers unscented WH
    Tom Fields Gin and Bitters A/S

    Not the best shave this morning. The other day I shaved off a small pimple and today I snagged the same spot and made a bigger wound. Smeared it with alum to stop the blood.

    Have a great week gents!
