I love mojitos in the summer.
So I "created" a product line.
As always, an easy DIY.

Are there any difference in the SS blades?  Aren't they made by the same company?

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shave Cream
Jayaruh #439 Synthetic
PAA Starling Safety Bar
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Florida Water

The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #439 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling razor with safety bar and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

So I just heard they are not using tallow in the Fat anymore. Anyone else heard this?

As dome may know our buddy here CrustyCat sent me a big goody box of smokes. I have smoked up most of the cigars. I have remembered my love for a good box pressed Maduro. I also remember that Oliva makes a good cigar.

On the pipe side perique is still an awesome thing. I will be ages working my way through the pipe stuffing stuff. 

One of the pipe tobaccos sent is a big tub of Prince Edward. Classic drug store stuff that I am mostly smoking through vintage Kaywoodie  and Dr Grabow pipes. Wonder time out on the patio.

Just got some synthetic knots from China and was able to finish #439. The handle was made from 3/4 inch plywood. It has been sitting without a knot since March sometime. I have it planned for next week's shaves (mon-sun).
