Is that a snowman? Looks like it’s trying to sneak up on you, better get the bbq lighter ready.
We no longer have Payless shoes anywhere near us but I grew up buying shoes there. I hate buying shoes, good thing my wife seems to enjoy buying them...kind of strange seeings how she doesn’t care to wear shoes.

Thanks Chris. I had a good weekend.
I hate buying kids clothes. They hardly seem to last at all because they outgrow them so quickly. I was actually kind of happy when Connor came to me on Saturday and was upset because he was playing and got a hole in his pants. To me that meant we have had them long enough to get a hole!

Razor: Timeless Razor .68
Blade: Shark Stainless Steel (2)
Soap/cream: CBL Rose Oud
Brush: Fine Stout
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2:Florida Water
Well today was a fun shave. I grabbed my tub of the CBL Rose Oud that is from before he went public, now labeled Black Rose Oud. I love this scent. Perfect rose scent in my opinion. The shave went really well again with the blade which is really blowing me away. I finished with the Florida Water and am ready for the day.

Skipped my Sunday shave after a long evening Saturday, watching my Utes win their rivalry game. Lots of drinking, swearing, and then happiness.
Here watch
Sadly back to work today, and way behind. Have a good day cadre!

Razor: Parker Variant
Blade: Shark Stainless Steel (3)
Soap/cream: Soap Commander Drive
Brush: Razorock Beehive
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2:Soap Commander Drive Balm
Well today was another good shave. This time with the Parker Variant a favorite razor of mine for sure. I upped the aggressiveness and received a fantastic shave. The Soap Commander Drive is one of my favorite scents, the leather and vetiver just play very nice together. I need to buy the aftershave splash for this one, but haven't bought any of the splashes yet. Mainly because I have all these balms! All in all a fantastic shave.

Nothing crazy to report. Today I do have a basketball game this evening so looking forward to getting out on the court. Yesterday we also booked a Disneyland trip. So we are going to Disney in May 2019. Really everything price wise is not all that bad, but where they get ya are tickets into the park! MY HELL that was more than the actual hotel. We still need to book airfare and rental car, but do have a little time to get that taken care of. Anyways hope you all have a fanstastic Tuesday.

Costco travel does package deals that includes part tickets and some meal vouchers.
Where ya staying? We've found a place we always stay because they have rooms that sleep 5. Right across from the park and not too much $$$. My wife always talks about staying at Grand Californian though.

We looked at Costco, and actually got a better deal with the package through the local company we went through. We are staying at the hotel Staybridge Suites we have stayed there before and like the hotel. It included 3 day park hopper passes for all of us, and shuttle vouchers to disney we are less than a mile away so not bad at all. Should be a fun trip.
Airfare is the real kicker. I haven't done a lot of business travel in the last 2 years so I don't have hardly any miles at all.
Yes, I HATE when that gets factored into vacations. We cancelled our European cruise this summer when we figured out the airfare for 5 of us over there.
Chad has like 6 different jobs, so no biggie!

Pretty much! One job for each entry ticket ought to cover it!
Great set-up, Chad. I've actually used a couple of Shark blades recently - both the Stainless, and the Chrome. I had good shaves with both. Not the sharpest, but certainly not the dullest; and not the smoothest, but certainly not the harshest. They were serviceable. If I had to pick which I'd prefer, it would be the Chrome version. But I wouldn't go and buy 100 pack. But on the road, a 5 pack is workable.
A trip to Disneyland sounds great! I haven't been to Disneyland since either 1976 or 1977 (can't remember which). We've gone to Disney World the last couple of years due to geography. But I'd love to go back to Anaheim again one day soon, just for old time sake.

Great shaves Chad! I’m really surprised with quality of the Shark blade.
Sounds like a fun trip for the family! Airfare really does kill you. The wife and I go to Clearwater, FL every year for Phillies Spring Training. Our airfare is usually about half of the total cost of the trip. It’s insane!
