Did not feel much like shaving today, exactly one year ago today we lost Sharon’s mom in a horrible fire. So I definitely would not use a straight today because my mind is not on it so a quick DE Shave.

No Kona files today I let him sleep and I also let Sharon sleep as well because I know today’s gonna be a tough day for her

I said this in my status update but I’d like to ask everybody to keep Sharon @AvocadoQueen In your prayers today

Thanks for stopping by

 

[Scuttlesoap]

Your family, especially Sharon, is in my thoughts. I hope today is one of peace for your family and good memories of her mother.

 

[Bill M]

Thoughts and prayers for Sharon and the pain of that terrible loss

 

[Graybeard57]

Words are inadequate for moments such as this. Warm thoughts and prayers.

I've been thinking what to say over the past few hours, but I don't think I could express myself any better than what has already been said. Be sure to hug each other.

 

[Quijote]

Dave, I am a day late on this, but praying for continued mental and emotional healing. I hope yesterday was peaceful for your family.

KONA FILES:
Back on the case today, up and towering over me at about 0600, went out did his "Thang" and back in for treats and a nap. Later let him run the "Big Yard", where he could antagonize horses and drag race cars headed to the gun range..... He was 5 an 1 today. Back to the porch and a plop for a sun bath. Boy he has the life.

Jerry Stark 7/8 Kamisori
HL Thater / Silvertip
CBL Soaps Barba Shave Soap / Aftershave
Proraso Alum / Thayers Lavender / Talc
YSL rive gauch pour homme EdT


Not much in the whisker arena today after my late night shave, but enough for a couple of passes. The Kami was the last Razor Jerry Stark made for me prior to sun setting his razor business, and gifted it to me. it is a wonderful piece of twisted heavy steel and a joy to shave with, but like all of his razors they can be beasts.... In a good way. The thumb notch is a required accessory, as it can be a bit slippery. I had tried cord wrapping, however it just did not look good, and the "au natural" look of this razor was far better.

Accompanied with YSL and CBL made for a nice "barbershop inspired shave.

KONA FILES:
a warm day for "El Doggo" to sun himself on the porch, along with the chase me, I chase you antics with Ruger, so a good lazy day for him

KONA FILES:
After a bit of a hiatus "El Doggo" back in the weekend jump on the bed and hover until let out, sunning on the patio and treats galore. He did get a play date with some friends Golden Retriever last evening so he has that lovely smell of matted wet dog slobber, as only a Goldy can provide. Little does he know, but its bath time today, muahahahahaha.

Thanks for stopping by

Great shaves Dave. Been a long time since I've been on the site. A lot of water over the dam. Glad to see the site thriving.
