As you discovered, pretty much everything works well with Cerberus :)

First shave of the day and off-theme, but I have a second shave coming later.

With SV, this was most definitely a luxury shave. I'm enjoying BBS November much more than I ever enjoyed No-Shave November.

A second luxury shave after returning home. It's fun to be revisiting my DE collection again, but I'll revert to some straights soon. Terrific brush handle by our own @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social . What a talent!

I think Heather gave me a sample of it, and I took a whiff of it at the Maggard Meetup and liked it.

No, and learning isn't his thing anyway.

Thanks! Interesting times for us. That's for sure.

Very good point!

That's certainly a part of it.

I’m heartbroken over the election results

I'm more interested what motivated the voters. I have a hunch that most of the US still isn't ready for a woman president. From a practical standpoint, the US stock market had a banner day. It will be important to benefit where possible over the next 4 years. OTOH, my son lives in France. Maybe it's time to move :)

Final travel shave. Tobacconist is among my favorite HoM scents.

Heather is proud of her association with Rogue Perfumery on this one.

I sure don’t envy you folks only having the choice between plague and cholera

After a while, cynicism gets to you and idealism becomes less important. The goal becomes how to fare well with whomever comes to power. I suspect, though, that one candidate may not know the quote “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. We’ll see.
