    In Cincinnati for a Benz Mtg. Hotel locked down for active shooter on the street outside the hotel front door. Not a great way to start the day.
    My office is a block away.  Was across the street from the 5/3 building grabbing breakfast 15 minutes before the incident began.  Almost went to the Servatti's in the Fifth Third building to grab breakfast this morning.  Changed my mind at the last second and am glad I did.
    Could watch the scene unfold from my office window.  Saw several stretchers being removed and a TON of police and SWAT presence.  Went for a walk during lunch and the entire scene was surreal.  The shock on everyone's face and sheer quietness of downtown was scary.
    Hugging my wife and daughter a little more/longer tonight.
    Glad your safe. Horrible event.

    Yeah, watching from the second floor of the hotel and outside was bizzare today. The police response was impressive. The girl that didnt hear the warnings before she walked in the bank because of her earbuds was a chilling reminder of situational awareness.

    @frazzdaddy Had a talk with my daughter about that exactly.  She has earbuds in most of the time.  See way too many people doing that, and some while they're driving.  In this day and age you must be alert to your surroundings at all times.
    Tragic anyway you look at it.

    Glad you are alright Steve, I have friends that work for 5/3 in that building. Nobody I know was killed or injured but one of the guys that did get shot works on the same floor. Scary stuff.

    You're absolutely correct.  I'm certain what we are seeing now is just the tip of the spear.  Worries me for my kids.

    Agreed.  @Frazdaddy , our city didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for your arrival.  Let me know if you need anything or if I can be of any assistance at all.  Cheers!

    Gotta get out and mow the lawn before it gets too hot.  It's September and they're still predicting mid-90's through next week, ugh.

    Just received some Fall/Autumn artisan shaving soaps. 

    I know Autumn don’t actually happen in Dixie until January, but I will be ready when it finally gets here.

    Pumpkin latte shaving soap.  Be careful using that one before heading to the grocery store or yoga class.  You might get mobbed.
    Love you bro!

    Do you ever run out of a particular product before 10 more show up in your mail?

    I’m not. Some of these soaps are seasonal so I buy them when they come out.

    It would be hard to say. More often than not I have a small order come in weekly so probably not. I actually have more shaving soap on hand than you could legitimately use in a lifetime.

    i have about 3 years on 1 puck of mitchels wool fat, maybe another 2 years to go with it.  is that enough time for you to test all the soaps and find a clear winner for my next order =)

    Absolutely. I will list a top 5 soaps after I try these out and a few others that I’m waiting on to arrive. 
    With that said, I can tell you right up front that if you can build a good lather with MWF, it’s hard to beat it for performance. Some folks seem to really struggle to get a good lather with it for some reason. It and Tabac are two of my very favorites for real heavy stubble and aggressive razors.
