Headed to the Islands!

Today is the long awaited vacation! My wife and I are going on a cruise, and we leave for Miami tonight! First vacation without kids since our honeymoon.

See you all when we get back in 10 days!

Awesome. Enjoy it.

What's your cruise shave kit?

Have a great time and stay out of trouble.

Charlie, hope you and your wife have a great time.

Have a great trip Charlie! What islands will you be visiting on the cruise?

Bon voyage!

Have a good trip and enjoy your holidays.

We are hitting San Juan, PR...St. Thomas...St. Maarten...Grand Turk

Gonna be looking for some hard to find shaving stuff, as well as some inexpensive rum.

Anything specific you guys know of that I should be on the lookout for?

Not much regarding shaving related stuff in the islands.

Is San Juan you can find a Bay Rum that has been produced there for more than a century. It is called "Bay Rum Superior 70". Besides its use for shaving, it was always used for sore muscles ... sort of a local BenGay substitute.

If you are looking for quality rums, you may find "English Harbour 1981" (distilled in Antigua) at a reasonable price. Even then it's kind of expensive but (for me) the best Rum anywhere. It is fruity, with wood and tobacco, backed by a myriad of spices. English Harbour Reserve 10 Year is also good.

From Puerto Rico, and better priced, I like Ron Don Q Añejo 12 años ... it brings back memories of my times in the island. You'll find this for sure in San Juan. Although not tops level it's not a bad rum with a better price.

By the way, if you want a sweet snack while walking about old San Juan, and happen to go past "La Bombonera" (San Francisco street) stop and get a "mayorca" ...



... just delicious with a good puertorican coffee. They have been there since 1902, and their coffee machine dates from 1898!!





Enjoy your vacation !!

Thanks Tony!! Great info, and that "mayorca" looks awesome! Will totally look for that!!!

Have a great trip.

Enjoy your trip, sir, and don't forget your shaving accessories!

Have a fantastic time and enjoy the cruise.

That mayorca does look good.

Charlie, may your lady and you have a fantastic time. Enjoy!

+1, I'll have to remember that for next time I'm in PR.

My cruise shave kit includes a tube of bigelow, one of Irena's newest samples, a simpson's commodore x2, clinique asb, and dolce&gabbana light blue. Even on a cruise I need a cream and a soap.

Have a great week, an I will see you all in 8 days!!

Have a nice vacation, Charlie!

Have a great trip! Please share some pictures when you're back!

Great kit. Enjoy!
