My dog thought the phone or a camera meant it was game time. He'd run around as if he knew all the pics would be blurred and most were. Just joking about the wives but those cotton balls are something they all must have, God bless 'em. No, you never posted a pic of the razor. I've never used a straight razor. For about a year I haven't used any razors and have my first beard. It's sort of a Gabby Hays. Here beards are rare and I haven't seen any beard cream or oil so mine is a natural. Got a recommendation for beard cream? Oh, a beard story: Last year before Christmas I was waiting for the dentist and there was a couple with a boy of three or so. He was looking at me and I could tell what he was thinking—a foreigner, a bit on the older side and grey hair... Sure enough he came over and asked me in a very polite way if I was Santa so I played along and asked him what he wanted. I think he said something about a Nintendo. I got his name to make it seem real and they called me for the dentist. It was very satisfying somehow and all of us were happy.
