You seem to have quite a bit more stuff on your sink counter than me, Johnny.

Nick

 

Well, that's facing my wife's side (we have two sinks). The mirror is her makeup mirror, the container on the left has Q-Tips and the container on the right is full of cotton balls. The blue figure in the background is her sonic toothbrush. There's not much room for my stuff, I just shove everything aside when I want to take a picture.

Oh, you should see all the junk behind that mirror. I know ladies, for those of you reading this, it's not junk, it's necessities.

 

Happy Halloween!

2 passes and a bit of buffing, BBS!​

 

Actually, that it a slight lie.
I had no coffee while shaving this morning. The hotel only has coffee in lobby, and since I didn't feel like walking down there without pants, I passed on coffe first thing. I think that was a good call, as they still want me back.
I did get coffee for breakfast, and a real big cup for the drive in.
I got three cups to go, thinking I had do the standard drug testing for a new site. I held it till my eye's crossed, and then they said it wasn't required.
At least I had my coffee.

 

Congratulations, thats a big deal.

Congratulations to you as well.

So you are 61 years old?

 

No, I'm 73 years old.

Today was a 6-10 kind of day, so I haven't had a chance to report on my shave. And now, another wet shaver weaves a yarn.

I was moving quicker then usual today, but my grandfather always told me to take two passes before rushing, as u will wind up late and bloody.

I decided to give up the hot towel for the third pass and went about a leisurely shave before my drive.

It was a nice wtg, xtg, atg, and even had time for touch ups. It was a perfect shave, a true BBS. Thanx for reading...

 

Hey Scott,

Is the Lord going to be up at bat soon?

 

Yep, it is up for the next three shaves. My schedule has been such that I have just grabbed the Jagger, but things will begin to normalize a bit and allow three more Lord shaves before I right a final report. Thanx for asking mang.

 

Way to go Dale...

Not bad.
