That's what I'm hearing. Keep it slow, as in a sad drinking song.
Thanks - and still taking it one day at time.

Greetings all; it's been a while. Thought I'd drop by and say hello.
Nothing much new to report since my last update. The family is doing well. I'm still working at the same place. We now have 2 cats (a ragdoll and a rescue black shorthair) and 2 dogs (both long coat chihuahuas). Still playing the bass. Planning a trip to Paris and London this summer. Still taking it "one day at a time" (been 11 years now). Life is good.
Shaving wise: I'm mostly a DE user nowadays (I rarely break out a straight). Been using the tried and true Merkur 34 mostly. Haven't been on the soap trying binge anymore as I still have enough for 10 lifetimes; and speaking of soaps....One that I've always joked about and used to not really care for scent-wise, is now one that I use on the road all the time: Arko. Can you believe that? But no denying how slick it is. But I'm still "not chosen" and don't see that changing (sorry, not sorry Veg). Fragrances? I probably have enough for 20 lifetimes - going to be culling the herd soon, along with brushes and SRs.
That's about all I can think of for now. I've been enjoying AdP Colonia the past couple of days. I really should wear it more often now that it's getting hot.

Sorry to respond a little late, been busy myself. It is very nice to see you here again. Arko and a Merkur 34? Pretty basic by today's standards but I remember the day when both of those were new to me and provided an excelent daily shave. For the most part I can give or take Arko but many years back I aquired a few a particularly pungent sticks that really turned me off so I have never gone back.
