Dave knows where it is at! If you want to smell like a banana...just rub a banana peel on your arms and face.
Razor: Timeless .68
Blade: Topaz Platinum (2)
Soap/cream: Catie's Bubbles Irish Coffee
Brush: Fine Stout
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Aqua Velva Balm
Pretty similar shave to yesterday. The blade is just not good at all. So a quick shave and had some irritation again. I did chose the CB Irish Coffee which is a fun scent that I enjoy. This is the luxury formula not sure what iteration they are on now but I will say the performance is pretty darn good.

Still a lot of coughing going on at the house but no fevers so that is good. Just wish the coughs would pass quicker so the kids can get back to feeling normal. I went to church this morning solo as Megan stayed home with the kids. The hour change is also playing with us all. I wish we would just pick a time and stick with it. No need to keep springing forward and falling back. Anyways hope you all have a great day.

I don't understand all the banana hate
Yup going well. Getting ready for elections and am working on having a guest speaker here next month. It's a big deal getting it all ironed out but fun. Just did an interview that was ran in our local Catholic newspaper.
Razor: Timeless .68
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Soap/cream: Declaration Grooming Sweet Lemon
Brush: Razorock Beehive
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Avon Island Lime
Well what a shave today. Finally a good one. The bad blade series has been rearing it's ugly head and providing bad shave after bad shave. Finally a good one came up today. I also used the Dec. Grooming which is definitely an elite soap base. It just performs! And the Sweet Lemon is a great scent that reminds me of lemon bars or lemon cake, two of my favorite desserts.

Been a crazy busy day at the office today, but the afternoon is calming down a bit thankfully. My wife as many of you know is a school teacher and tomorrow she interviews at my son's school. She is pretty much a guarantee for the job. But we are hoping that the offer package is at least comparable to what she gets now. We expect the offer to be lower, but it could be made up for the discount we would receive in tuition for the kids to attend. Much less than that and it could effect our way of living so needless to say our fingers are crossed, as she would like to get out of the public sector if possible. Anyways hope you all have a great day!

Fingers crossed on good news for you guys Chad! I think I have a Gillette Platinum floating around somewhere, I'll have to give it a try.
WELL DUH!
The Silver Blues I recall being a little cheaper. Thanks Josh.
Thanks Mr. 3 Names.
Connor doesn't have a choice LOL. It sucks that this decision is going to come down to money. But sadly it must.

Hope all pans out with the job. Catch video when get home later tonight or with coffee in the morning.
Coffee and what Dave? Huh? Muffins? Another pie? Some fresh baked bread with homemade jam? Huh? Don't hold out on us.

Unless momma surprises me with something she bakes before I get home at 8 tonight it's just coffee. Too many care packages go out and I just get what's left. I keep telling you guys....
Razor: Razorock Game Change .84
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Soap/cream: CBL Roasted Oatmeal Stout
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Cherry City Roasted Oatmeal Stout
Today I really enjoyed my shave just an all around great result. I love the scent on this CBL soap and it just performs wonderfully. And thankfully Cherry City has a matching aftershave. So between his soap and the CBL soap this aftershave gets plenty of use. The CBL is a bit more in the beer smell, where the Cherry City is a bit more sweet smelling. Both are excellent in their own right however.

Busy day at work which tends to be the new normal but getting ready to head home soon. Then I do have a Knights meeting this evening, and Megan has her interview in 45 min so fingers are crossed that it all goes well.
Have a good evening Cadre.

Hoping the interview goes great and praying for great news!
Good Stuff, and I am with Chad, Love the Banana Flavored Soap, Like smashing your face in a Banana Cream Pie, Razors only dream of playing that way. Even though he offended me today ( he is so young you know) Good shaves as I catch up on the Journals Chad, but I have to say.... When are you going to come out of your teen years and start shaving like a man ( yes us old guys ) with a real straight, ROFL

Blade: Zorrik Talvar (1)
Soap/cream: Mystic Waters Lily of the Valley
Brush: Maggard's Synthetic
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Florida Water
Well today I had a very nice shave. The bad blade challenge selected a pretty decent blade and it resulted in a nice shave. I also grabbed the MW Lily of the Valley in my shave stick which is a favorite of mine. I think her soap performs best in this form. I finished it off with Florida Water which is actually a very nice pairing.

Been doing a lot of interviews at work but I have narrowed it down to the two people I want to hire, so now I just wait on HR to do there side of the equation. Tomorrow being the 1 year anniversary I just want to thank all of you for helping make this a reality. Truly love this place and all the interactions here.
Have great rest of the day cadre
