Thank You Ron, Dave... Gentlemen! Another most excellent week!
Fall has fallen, so perhaps a color week is in store? (I say that now )

I have a love / hate relationship with this razor. I absolutely love its beauty and sparkle, but the shaves always leave me asking myself, “And why did you try this razor, again?” I’ve got what seems to be a BBS shave, but my sensitive skin doesn’t care for the after burn. Nevertheless, my face is really smooth and I won’t need to shave again until Tuesday!

It's a great time for color.

I'm sure each of you has enjoyed the bountiful richness as much as I have.
