I didn't trust myself to have a feather light touch today, so I went with a DE. It was a good 3 pass BBS-. I gave it the minus because the blade was starting to get dull. When that happens, there is one spot at the edge of my mustache area that I cannot get smooth no matter what. This was the first time that I have tried this soap. It performed marvelously. It was very slick and protective. The only downside is the scent or lack there of. It just smelled like soap. Not unpleasant by any means, but not something that makes me want to spend the large price this soap commands. This aftershave is one of my favorites. It is a dark fougere, but a good one.
A la Mancha, today was another busy day around here. Church, them stay after to help get more of the VBS stuff ready to go. We left the church around 5 to go straight over to my parents' house for BBQ. Was a great day.
Thanks for reading everyone.

Lots of lather, 2 passes, DFS+. American Blend for a holiday honoring some of the greatest Americans. They are heros in the truest sense of the word.
A la Mancha, off to put flags on the graves of local heroes this morning. Then off to the VFW to have lunch with the veterans and then to help retire some flags.

Today was a wonderful shave. This is an awesome soap. More on that at a later time. 2 pass DFS.
A la Mancha, being away from my desk for 6 days has gotten me very far behind. Goodbye to the relaxation of vacation.

Thanks everyone. I will get caught back up before the end of the week. I just came into around 150 emails and a 3 inch stack of paperwork. I took care of most of the emails today. Just have to take them all one at a time and they will disappear faster than you expect.
