Mrs. and I took a senior-aged friend to dinner this evening. Very nice, good-humored, generous and proper gentleman, Princetonian and all. So a shave was requisite. A good shave. Wanting to make the most of a lovely day with 85° temperatures, I felt obliged to sneak a quick swim after a two-hour long bike ride before hitting the shower. Long story short: a deft hand and some quick, but focused prep can yield a perfectly good shave in only six minutes. Being on time was requisite, too. Our pal treated us to dinner. Our turn next time.

Gillette HD500
Personna Red (3x)
Simpsons vintage best -- a seemingly unknown (or at least unmarked) model for Marshall Fields (if anyone has an opinion about this, please, please pipe up)
Krampert's Finest Frost Bite soap & AS
The big chill was welcome. I might splash some more before Mad Men comes on.
