Regular Tuesday morning shave. Smooth and clean, and smelling good.

That's the way it's supposed to be, Bruce.

 

[NurseDave]

Hmmm, seems like I've seen that shave somewhere before.

It's what I aim for every time I shave. Don't always hit it, but that's the goal.

I think summer may be over. I'm now comfortable in a long sleeve shirt and long pants. Where did the time go? We may get another blast of summer yet, but it'll be transient. We usually get a taste of Indian summer each fall.

Have a great day, Cadre!

I started wearing jeans instead of shorts as well last week.

 

[GearNoir]

Yep, I made the switch this week myself. Long pants for casual wear and started wearing a jacket when working in the field.

Great shave as always!

What kind of field? Oranges, grapes, lettuce? Shoulda read the fine print, Chris.

Summer’s gone here and then some, Patagonia jacket, and a light mid layer time outside now. With a beanie, of course.

i;d teasingly call you a hipster - but since you shave I can’t

Well, I get it, but I grew up where Patagonia was founded, before it even was Patagonia. They used to be a legit outdoors place called ”Great Pacific Iron Works” My first summer job when I was 13 I saved up so I could buy a Camp 7 sleeping bag and Kelty back pack. They are sort of in my blood, even if it makes me a hipster now.

I've always thought of hipsters as imitators, recycling old styles.

This arrived today. $10.50 a puck and a free bar of great smelling soap! Been wanting to try Nag Champa for quite awhile now, so it'll be next up.
