Didn’t know such a thing was possible! That’s great!
You're rolling right along, Dave. Distance learning certainly has its advantages.

Penhaligon's Opus 1870
Well, Thursday really blew. Ended up in the ED again with my daughter and told work I was taking the day off on Friday to decompress. The struggle continues is all I say about that.
Took my last final on Saturday and now I just sit back and watch others present for my last class on Tuesday. Had a couple of cigars over the last week. Man, I forgot how easy those are to enjoy in relation to a pipe. My wife really hates the smell of them though and doesn't usually mind the pipe, so I won't be able to switch over. But it was a good little treat.
These shaves with the shavette have been great. Nice sharp Wizamet and it's smoother than the SS with a Feather AC blade.

Sorry to hear about your daughters struggles Dave.

Pulled open the draw to look for something that hasn't been used for a while. Poor ole Psycho. Highly demanded and little used.

It took several different combinations of meds to get my son's seizures under control. It was difficult to get him through the process, but worth the effort once it was all straightened out.
GTB is a great scent. Look out, Bay Area, Dave is ready to rock!

Maybe I'm getting old and frugal. Over our Spring Break trip I decided to not scoop out the leftover soap at the bottom of my bowl and see if it was enough to use for the next shave. It ended up being enough for two more shaves. I discovered it seems to be more efficient to just have the soap on the bottom of the bowl instead of spreading it all around the sides of the bowl as I used to do. I figured it would be easier to load the brush with being able to rub its sides against soap as well. Well, doesn't seem to hold true. Trouble, now I've started feeling guilty if I scoop out and throw away the soap at the bottom of the bowl. Trouble? Yes, ditching soap is a good way to work through the backlog a bit faster.
Hesitantly looking forward to the weekend. Have a scotch tasting tonight and another on Saturday. There's even an Ardbeg one on Sunday I'm considering. And my daughter gets her first vaccine on Sunday now that younger kids are good to go.
