Wow, you sure pack a lot in when you travel. Sounds like fun.

The underground tour was mostly a well told story of the history of Seattle. So entertaining, but the underground part itself wasn’t too exciting.
No wind really. But I guess it was a dry heat?
We do try to pack a lot in, that’s for sure. There’s lots of places to see in this world, so we tend not to revisit many. Except for Disneyland, but that’s because of my wife’s input. I’ll tell ya though. I’m not one that enjoys driving much and the daily Seattle traffic was a bit much. Worse than San Francisco!

Last Seattle shave. Luckily I brought more samples than I usual do because I misestimated how much was left in each one. I’m down to this one and one other. This sample dates back to my beginning days when I would buy up sample lots on the BST. I figured Stone Cottage must have been a middle of the road soap to not get further purchases. And it was. Not terrible, but the lather was more on the airy side of things. Decent enough shave though and a pretty good scent. I was also glad the blade has been working out. Packing and moving several times this trip, I had to take it out of the RX and slide it back into the dispenser for travel. Seemed to work just fine without dulling it.
Back in Portland now until Saturday morning. Got in a short nap in the A/C and next I’m off to take my wife shopping. And later in the evening Salt & Straw, one of the best ice cream chains around with some truely inventive flavors.

Whew! Finally caught up Dave, and quite a journey it's been over the past 2+ weeks! Glad to hear that the kidney stone issue has passed (forgive the pun there) and you're on the mend. Sounds like the vacation in Seattle came at the right time! Good shaves in the interim, though there were a few rough ones in there...
Interesting! Ice cream is my without a doubt my biggest dietary vice.
Yepper, agree.
Thanks for reading guys. Yes, probably best I steer clear of their website. Just in the mood to shop I guess.

Nice shave today. Got some decent lather today. Just lacking the residual slickness. And I do like this scent. Ended up with a no-thought BBS. Easy peasy.

Nice shave and video Dave. I tend to take a dopp bag with all my full size gear when traveling too.
I really don’t think I’ve tried a Stone Cottage soap but their cream formula is Elite as far as creams go for me. It was even better than the TOBS and equal to Proraso SB line. The only one that is better is AOS.
Thanks guys
You know....I’ve never used any creams.

I’m not sure of the company that made this soap. I think it is K Shave Worx? And I think I got this sample from the Don of Quijote. Good stuff, and even without an AS my wife commented on liking the smell. These fresh green fougeres seem to be pretty universally liked or at least not hated.
We were suppose to be on he road a long time ago, but change of plans. We’ve decided not to go to Crater Lake and instead are going to a farmer’s market with several food stalls for breakfast and then head down to our stop for the night. Why not Crater Lake? Because of the huge California fires it looks like this now:

Shame on the lake but if you can't enjoy it as it should be, it's not worth it. Safe travels
