Oz Shaving āFull Moonā
Woke up late last night and the moon was so bright! Tonight is the full Hunter's moon. The addition of this soap to the collective lather accumulator mad a wonderful fragrance and the aftershave complimented perfectly. As I add to the accumulated lather, the character of the lather is evolving in a terrific way. Itās like evolving clown puke soap.
Took a drive this afternoon to the local reservoir and go a couple nice pictures of Ruby in the sunshine. A perfect fall day.

I'd forgotten about Oz shave soap! They make some yummy stuff!
Now, all that's left to do it make up stuff your license plate stands for.
Perfect fall day indeed! Nice little car youāve got there, Rich.

The burnt sugar and pumpkin scent of this soap is quite appropriate for this season. Adding this to my lather accumulator bowl moderates it down a bit, but the aftershave brings the full force of the frag in. And it lasts for a while. The glycerine base just adds its character to the other soaps and it works amazingly. As before, Iām building clown puke one soap at a time and Iām enjoying the ride.

4/8 Wostenholm
Recycled lather clown puke accumulator
This little Wosty is a bushel of fun to use.it does require full attention though. The ever evolving lather accumulation experiment didnāt get new soap added as it was growing too much for the bowl. Provided plenty of cushion and slickness and left enough for continued experiments. 2 passes to a DFS. Proof a razor doesnāt need to be pretty to shave good.
I will be on-stage performing as a foley artist in our Community Theatre production of A Christmas Carol in December. Iāve never done this before, so it promises to be fun.

No Shave November:
This month is intended to bring some focus to cancer and as it is hitting really close to home this year, I am participating for the first time in 2024.
My wife has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer after a colonoscopy revealed troubles and surgery revealed a couple of lymph nodes were affected. We will meet with the oncologist in the coming weeks to formulate a treatment plan. In the meantime I am learning as much as I can without borrowing trouble over the prognosis. She returns to work next week after the surgery to help her not focus on what may be, but as I am retired, I have plenty of time to my thoughts. Therein lies the problem.
Brothers, colonoscopies are not pleasant, but they help catch problems before they reach the point I find myself facing. If not for yourself, certainly for your family who will struggle right there beside you. When your doctor suggests itās time, I encourage you to not put it off. The worst that can happen is they catch cancer before it spreads.
Perhaps I may trim my neckle regions for my own sanity.

Rich, sorry to learn of your wifeās diagnosis. There IS some good news, and that is there are excellent treatments for each stage of colon cancer. My appendix cancer is a subset of colon cancer, and Iām 10 years post treatment with zero recurrence. Below are some trustworthy sites for information, if you havenāt already read them. PLEASE only use credible government/medical resources - there is a ton of garbage out there. Youāll notice the links are government domains. Places like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and other accredited cancer centers are good resources as well. Iām sure Columbus and Cincinnati have accredited cancer centers as well. If so, theyāre likely university affiliated. Contact me if you have any questions.

Colorectal Cancer | Colon Cancer | Rectal Cancer | MedlinePlus
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or rectum. It may not cause symptoms at first. Screening tests can help find it early, when treatment is most effective.
Sorry to here Rich, but have faith, you guys will get through this, and remember you have support and prayers from everyone. Give her a big hug for Sharon and Me
