When people find out that I've been married-and-divorced three times, I tell 'em that I'm a serial monogamist.

Note: This does not affect my standing vis-a-vis eating a mixture of cooked oatmeal, rye flakes, oat bran, wheat bran, and ground flaxseed for lunch every day, which makes me a cereal polygamist.

After a relaxing trip to Tennessee for Father's Day Weekend I'm back home and tried a vintage Gillette NEW circa 1930's that arrived early this morning. I wanted a cleanup project and I gave it a pretty good cleaning and shine but it still needs some detailing. After the SOTD pic you can see my before and after pics of the "NEW"....
