Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Going with a classic from NYC singer, songwriter Eddie Money today. Hope you enjoy.
"Best Shave of the Week" candidate this morning. Returned to PAA and their excellent "Immortal Peach" shave soap & splash. Fantastic scent and lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and the matching aftershave splash / cologne & CBL Premium Barber Powder.
Zero feedback from the alum!. BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Ewww! A VERY sticky and humid morning here today. Looks like "Swamp Ass" season is starting early this year.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a track from The Midnight. Hope you enjoy.
And the hits just keep coming! Later post but a great shave to start the day. Returned to my vintage Shulton Old Spice suite if shaving products. Fantastic old school scent with an incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Simpson badger brush for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and the matching aftershave lotion, talc & EdC.
BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Not much to report. Chill day at the house. Not complaining.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Kicking off the workweek with this classic from Billy Cobham. Hope you enjoy.
Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice! Again, I returned to my vintage Shulton Old Spice suite if shaving products. Fantastic old school scent with an incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and the matching aftershave lotion, talc & EdC.

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Helped my sister move yesterday, hence the "no shave" choice. Feeling it this morning!
