A day of meditation... Today I turn 68 and 2 weeks!
68 is fine with me but I feel all the 2 weeks in my bones!
So I cheered up myself with a wonderful shave!

My brush (I made it!), my 39C which is the sharpest caress on my skin and my soap.
Alas I do not have a suitable fragrance to match it but it is a problem easily dodged!


I am so fond of this soap, I want to share with you my experience!

De Sica died and Oliver Stone was not available so had to do it with a friend: please, forgive the quality of the video!

5 will get you ten. 59 gets you 55. born 55 years ago today. shaved with a 1959 birth year Fatboy.

Won an ebay auction earlier today for a vintage Simpsons for Gimbel's 57. Wish it was a 59, but a 57 will suffice.

25 was good. 35 was better. 45 was better still. hoping for mo' betterer at the two five spots.

Other tools, accoutrements & emolients utilized today include: Jabonman Tierra Húmeda, Polisilver Super Iridium, Simpsons for Hoffritz 103 (which we know better as a butterscotched vintage Chubby), Fine Clean Vetiver. Never made it to the Capt'n Fawcett's to tame the ol' unruly whiskers (see below for just how unruly they can get).

That Chubby made my Tierra Húmeda behave better than it ever has before. My other Jabonman's have never been a problem, but I always got sudsy, runny, loose lather with Wet Earth before today. Suddenly, the Chubby made available the consistency I have been longing for until now. I'd be lying if I said my face was as smooth as my rump was 55 years ago, but it's as close as could be.

At 40, the old adage says, you get the face you deserve. At 55, methinks you learn to live with the one you got.

Every day is a gift. Glad to wake up each morning. I'm happy to live with what I got.
