You wanted notice? You get notice! This Sunday (January 11th) at 1pm hollyqueen and I will be volksmarching again. This time we will be walking a 5K path through Queen Anne. The walk is rated 1+ which means paved walks and family friendly, so bring the kids if they want to walk along. Pets are permitted except inside buildings and the cemetery. You will have to sign the register/waiver and carry a start card during the walk, but the walk itself is free.

The start location is Ken's Market, 2400 6th Ave W, Seattle, WA 98119. Please don't park in Ken's lot but there should be street parking available. As I said we'll gather outside Ken's at 1pm and sign in as a group. Let me know if you're coming so we have an idea how many will be joining us.

Feel free to ask me any questions or read more details here or here.

Men, I want to switch to using a safety razor and brush for shaving. I have good information the razor, blades and brush but I'm finding a lot of recommendations about the soap and aftershave are very personal. The same products get very high and very low reviews. So I come to you for advice on shaving soap and aftershave.

What kind do you like? Why that brand? What should I avoid?
