Gentlemen, Let me start of by saying thank you all for the incredible shaves you have shown. It was yet another great week!

This week starts off with a holiday here in the United States. It is a day for rememberance. It is a day for honoring those who came before us and in modern times has become an important day for remembering more than anything else those who have given their last full measure of devotion to our country. My shave honors that sacrifice. It also is a reminder that 20 years ago this week I joined the profession of arms when I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Many of my classmates are ending their military careers through retirement. Some have ended their military careers by making the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They truly embody the motto: Duty, Honor, Country.



Be Thou At Peace...

This shave was a very close DFS with the Gillette that I bought for $10 yesterday at a local antique shop. It felt pretty aggressive, but bad technique in jaw area gave me some razor burn. Very satisfied with the setup for today.

SOTD Monday 5-27-2013 Memorial Day

Gillette NEW OC w/Personna Medical Prep Blade
Classic Shaving Jasmine SS
GT G4 Scuttle
Omega Boar
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
Brut Original Cologne

A great shave with the NEW. The Personna Med Blade is super smooth and sharpe. The morning air is still moist with a misty sprinkle from above which prolongs the Jasmine Shave Soap's essance.
Today is a day to remember all those Brothers (and Sisters) who have served, some who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who are presently serving in our Military Services to protect our liberty and keep us safe. To all those presently in the field and, to all those who have served in the past; Thank you!
