So, went to the DMV today... After nearly 30 years of auto-renewal (see what I did there... :unsure: ) when you hit 70 years old, the next time you renew in California, they want to see you, squeeze your cheeks, take a new photo and have you take the written exam. So, did that. Also applied for REALID so they know you're not going to blow things up, etc. I did my duty. I have no comment about how many unlicensed drivers...:censored: Anyway, see you on the roadways...:cool:

SOTD: MdC, Omega, Karve b plate, Personna lab blue, Epsilon blue. K, a guy could shave with this rig forever... :unsure:. Not sayin' I will; just sayin'

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Frank's "Mélange d'Agrumes" shave soap and skin food. Wonderfully tart and refreshing scent! Excellent lather as well built with the Rich Man Shaving ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock "Mamba 70" and I finished with the matching skin food and some Dior "Sauvage" parfum. Trying out a new blade. Picked up some Gillette Minora Stainless. First thoughts, smooth shaver. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Glad those cheeks were BBS. :)
