Nice, makes a change to go to bed clean shaven. The cat liked the smell and kept sniffing my face as I drifted off.

Still presentable this morning.

Wednesday

Merkur 38C
Shark Super Chrome Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
Cella
Alum
Bulldog asb

Picked up the Bulldog asb from Boots. It's quite similar to the Burts Bees balm that I have been using. Similar scent and feel, but not quite as greasy.

A warm breeze passes through the open window ... Hey … Its got to be Pirates Day!!!

Now here is proof you can get to the deep bottom of Nanny's Herby One tub (had to be careful with that sentence). Fun to load up any brush in a deep bowl or what has become my favorite – face lathering. I stated with every intent NOT to save or be frugal with this wonderful soap. It’s that much fun to lather. Why you ask? To make this the bowl for my travel kit “ya son of a biscuit eater”!! I’ll see how long it lasts.

Alibi: Gave some samples away and filled a covered jar I got in an antique store. Don’t forget to load that brush though, don’t be so stingy with it. I got plenty of time to trade for a Pirates Brush or maybe even a Pirates Razor. I found the bowl in an abandon shopping cart at a Fred Myers store parking lot; somehow forgotten to be loaded into the trunk. I wonder what they were going to use it for?

All the best from the Northwest. R/Robert

PS: Talk Like a Pirate Day in Seattle is around the 19th of September. Sorry, just a bit early. Must be the heat ….
