Quijote's search for BBS

Just caught up, Don. What an adorable child!

Happy to hear about a couple of great straight razor shaves. Sorry about the van window and the mold. Life is a series of ups and downs. You gotta make the best of it.

Your son's smile makes it all worthwhile.
 
Another travel shave, another BBSG. If all I cared about was the results, this would be a contender for the go to. Nothing seems to get me as close as easily as the GEM.

This morning, I went out for an early morning hike. I took a couple of pictures. Everything around here is still budding, so no great flower shots. Also, I took a risk to try to get to the top of a ridge to get better pictures of the mountains. Went up around 150ft. And struck out. Will post pictures I did get later.
 
One last travel shave last night. Getting ready to board for the flight home. Not sure what I am more excited to see, the kids or the package that is waiting for me. Actually, I do know which one.

Safe travels!
 
We made it back to the kids. You miss them, but don't realize exactly how much until you see them. And my package was from the super generous Josh. I got two different CL/DG collaborations (Santal Auster and TSM Fougere) and a mystery fragrance.

Nice!

Slick looking atomizer!
 
Just got word that the mystery fragrance is Penhaligon's Endymion Concentre.

I have been missing my straights while on the road, so I wanted to get a straight shave in. It was an afternoon shave, so I want concerned about getting as close as possible. I ended up with a CCS after 2 passes.

A la Mancha, I did the first stage of treatment of the mold this morning. Everything went as planned. We also did a little yard work today. Didn't shave until after that was all finished. We also took the kids to the movies. All in all, a good day.
