Happy Birthday Dave! That's a nice lineup.
I was going to go for a nice, slow straight shave but it appears I've pulled something on my left side this week and it hurts too much to use my left hand above my shoulder. I guess I really AM getting old! So I went for a nostalgic shave with some old standbys instead.
Tonight there will undoubtedly be scotch in my diet (perhaps that bottle of Balvenie I have hinted at as a birthday gift), but for the birthday dinner, well, I'm sure it will be something unrefined that the youngsters like to eat. After all, the part of my birthday is watching my children have a great time celebrating it.
Here's my BSOTD:
Slim Adjustable K3 - one of my first and finest antique store scores. VG+ and was $5, IIRC.
Simpson Chubby 1 in Best - I prefer to face lather (even with creams). This is my definitive face lathering brush. The black thing is an O-ring for grip.
Astra SP - still my favorite blade after almost three years.
Speick Cream - how I continue love it so.
Musgo Real Classic AS - masculine and long lasting scent and it makes my skin feel great all day. Plus there's no need for an EDC since I pick up traces of this for hours.

Happy birthday Dave and Jonothan.
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.
I was a lucky man tonight. That bottle of Balvenie Doublewood made it to the party along with a copy of The Big Lebowski on Blu-Ray. Doesn't get much better than that! Time to settle in for a tasty beverage and a few laughs.

First, thanks everyone for the birthday well wishes.
Walter, you are a man after my own heart, the Balvenie. Happy to know that the kids, The Big Lebowki and the Balvenie made for memorable evening.
