Seems I haven’t updated the journal in awhile. Shaves have been going well with my 63 Slim and 60 Fatboy sitting top of the rotation.

Enjoying the BBQ/Smoker immensely, we’ll be doing up some chickens me thinks this weekend but we’ll see.

Throughly enjoying the new to me fountain pens that @woodpusher sent my way. The Lamy 2000 EF is fantastic but surprisingly the Wing Sung 601 is usually at hand.

Hope everyone is good. Happy Saturday!
 
It is with a heavy heart and pit in my stomach that I must inform you that our good friend, Ed, passed away recently a few weeks before his 52nd birthday. I found out today when his "lovely bride" Vesna contacted me to let me know.

If you wish to sign the guestbook, it is here.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to any charity of your choice.

My deepest condolences, Vesna, to you and your family. Words are simply not enough to express how sorry I am for your loss.

Wait…what?! I’m in shock!

I’m so sorry to hear this news! I’m so sorry Vesna and family for this profound loss. My condolences. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. 😢
 
This is awful. I didn’t know Ed as well as many in TSC, but we exchanged quite a few emails and he was a pleasure to chat with and learn from. He was a kind, intelligent man. His family must be devastated. Words are not enough. Prayers for his family. May he Rest In Peace. He will be missed.

This isn't what I expected to see when I clicked on Ed's journal this evening and I'm at a loss for words. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. Ed was one of the guys I felt I knew best around here and I loved chatting Scotch and such with him. His presence around the TSC will be missed.
 
Myself, being new on The Cadre deeply regret not being able to become acquainted with this gent. My thoughts and prayers will be with those he held dear.
 
Still really don’t know what else to say. He was someone that I felt I had a lot to learn from and was very much looking forward to seeing him in Vegas. A gentleman for sure. I hope we can find a way to memorialize him here somehow.
