SOTD 1-7 December 2019

Good morning to all on this sunny Pearl Harbor Day 2019. I’m referencing WWII because today I shaved with my father’s Gillette Slim. My dad was a WWII Navy vet, who passed in 2013 at age 99. I’ve had this razor since I went through his things after his death. This morning was my first shave with it. It was a process of trial and error, but I finally found setting 7 to be the right one for my whiskers. The shave was a smooth and close DFS. In any case, after completing my favorite activity to start each day, I feel smooth, clean and refreshed.
