Normandy Beach
70 years since D-Day (d-day, h-hour, etcetera).
But, this is in Normandy Beach, New Jersey. Not France.
Shot on Sunday, but this will be Monday, June 9, 2014's shave.
In the background, one can see a calm Atlantic Ocean.
Trust me when I say it is not always like this.
But, we survived Hurricane Sandy.

Across the street, my neighbor's house weathered the storm, but succumbed a year and a half later to a fire.

Welcome to another week, Gentlemen. This week, let's see your French soaps, creams, razors, aftershaves and razors. Next week, we will be looking for your loved ones' favorite products. I wanted to give you a chance to find out what they most enjoy, so ask them if you don't already know. For me, I have an idea what my wife likes, but it never hurts to ask again.

Well, I loved the way the pictures turned out but the shave was another story. I have used all of these items numerous times and never ever had any issues. However this morning my face feels burned and is quite red. I think I actually got brush burn from face lathering. I am not sure if I got a bit over-zealous or if the brush is just too scritchy. It saddens me a bit because I do like the brush and the La Toja was perfectly dialed in. I guess I may have to stick to bowl lathering with this little work horse from now on.

As for french the "La" in La Toja is just about as french as my shave products get.​
