Ok, so choosing my kit before the shower so I can take a photo isn't toooo bad so far. Decided to use the best razor in the den again as you can see.

Working from home today as we have a video visit with my daughter's neurologist. That means hot breakfast! I figure a plate full of food isn't bad when most of it is vegetables. The weight loss thing is at a standstill. I guess that's better than moving backward. But still, it would be nice to see a continued downward slope with the change in diet and increased activity. I'm not working out as much as I should, but still getting out for walks during the day. And those walks will be a little longer at least once a week now that I have my FIL's Costco card. I can go can check the whiskey selection once or twice a week ;)

Great shave soap. I have a tub of this from when it was called Hemingway 1898+1. Apparently there were some legal issues with using that name, and a change was required. Absolutely love the scent and performance though.

That's interesting. I had no idea.
 
Rasberry/Leather is a new combo for me. What are your impressions of the scent?

+1 - that's an interesting combo, interested to hear how it is!
Oh, I've had this for a while and didn't really think about it. It is a bit sweet and the leather rounds it out a bit vs standing out as a leather scent.

While I've gotten good shaves from my shavette, this SS is so much smoother and thoughtless!

Beautiful start of the morning out on the deck and the start of another week on call. Have a girl here suffering from boy troubles so taking a couple of them for retail therapy. Then a mid term later in the day. Get all the stuff outta the way for lazy times tomorrow.

Having a daughter starting middle school next year, I am not looking forward to those days.
