Summary: The time sure flies but summer is only halfway in Vegas. Another hot and sunny day. We're expecting 44C/111F the whole week. The Aloe Vera shaving cream definitely helped moisturize my face. I had grown some whiskers so what's not better than my Filarmonica 14. Turned out I was right. BBS and super smooth feeling skin. Enjoy the new week.

Have a nice day

Not used this razor since I acquired it at xmas, gave it the coti treatment last night (jeez I love that hone). It's a lovely looking razor and gave a nice finish but the tang is a little thin so it wants to twist in your fingers and it also weighs next to nowt - a delicate touch needed.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Unhurried, comfortable BBS shave. Sunday shaves to music is one of the finer things in life.
A good start of a beautiful day. It’s already almost 18C / 64F outside
so I’ll get started making Sunday brunch, which I’m going to enjoy outside on my deck.
Pancakes, eggs and bacon with a bear-sized puddle of Canadian maple syrup on top.

Have a wonderful week..
