I guess my hot water tank thermostat is set somewhat low, for safety. So I microwave the water, 60 seconds for a small scuttle and 90 seconds for one with a large reservoir. They come out Goldilocks right.

Just my usual monthly reminder. As some of you know, I collect and shave with Somerset (pre-Vulfix) Simpson brushes. If you have any of these older beauties you decide you want to sell, please let me know, preferably before posting an ad. Thanks.

It may still work out for me to get some. A fellow shaver's mother-in-law, who lives in Argentina, is coming to the U.S. very soon for a visit, and he has asked her to bring some tubs of the Argentine shaving cream. If she is able to do so, he then will send some to me.

I just got a couple new Somerset Simpson brushes, a Case and a PJ1, both in Best badger. I really like how they look, and I look forward to using them.
