Thanks Brian! They have good juice in them too. I think the Bulldog pipe is my favorite.

The Deets-
So we’ll start with Saturday and throw all the deets here. I was really looking forward to the Boker shave. I had another Boker at one time, not fancy like this one, and PIFed it away. So I was stoked. When I ran the razor across my arm hair, I knew I was in for a rodeo. So hold my beer and watch this.
You know how some people chase the baby? And some people catch the baby? Well … I dropped the baby. The baby fell, hit the corner of the changing table, did a summersault and face planted on the floor. Oh … dang! That was a rough shave and I may have done as well with a shard of glass. So … I may send that one to Doc226 for a JNat edge. I left that shave defeated.
Today I wanted to smell the DR Harris Windsor again. So with a hardware change, The Fat and Windsor got the nod. Great shave! Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Very nice! I am going to have to try the other DR Harris EdT samples some more. Life is good!
Home Front-
So when the rain came in, we had another vagrant try and take up residence in the garage. Took a day and a half, but I got him ran out. I also had more cleanup work outside, which is now done. I also had some more interest in BST stuff, so I will be boxing that up this evening to ship. I think that’s all I have for you.

Arrrghhhh!!! Not good Boker deets at all. 
You didn't actually drop it, did you? Please say it was just a rough shave.

Bummer on the baby fumble, but nice recovery with a solid follow up shave and squirrel evacuation!

Yes Sir. But did you get the visual?
Yes, it was somewhat like Home Alone.
