Happy Tuesday, Cadre. I hope we’re all enjoying this beautiful day. It’s a quiet day on the homefront. Nothing major on the agenda for me. Be well. 😊

Yesterday’s and today’s shaves. We lost power at around 5pm Tuesday, and is hasn’t been restored yet, so we’re looking at 49.5 hours without so far. It’s been busy, and we’re tired of it. We were blocked into our neighborhood till this morning due to a fallen telephone pole, big branches, and downed lines. A news team came out to our neighborhood to fly a drone over and do a story. I’ve had more fun under general anesthesia. 😏

They got the number of people wrong - it’s about 100 HOUSES, so well over 200 people.

Happy Friday, one and all. Today is much better than Tuesday-Thursday around these here parts, that’s for sure. I continue to enjoy superlative shaves with the CajunBlade soap. You should check him out. A fun evening ahead for me - hope you all have a good one too. 👍
 
I was on YT, watching an eight minute video of The Deacon Shaves, recommended by @BarberDave. It’s worth your time. Anyway, up into my feed pops this KD Lang recording of her singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at the Vancouver Olympics. The crowd fell silent as she sang her heart out on this beautiful, spiritual song. As much as I love Cohen’s live versions of this song, KD Lang’s crystalline voice soars into the stratosphere here. It’s jaw droppingly beautiful. Treat yourself to this for a few minutes. I don’t think you’ll regret it. 🎤🎹

55 degrees in Tucson with rain and Thunderstorms??? Truly Apocalyptic times...... That does not mean that a great shave cannot be had!

normally pdp 63 is for fall and winter but a perfect choice for today's shave. matched with the Shavemac and the 1151 epicness ensued 3-passes DSBBS. Supporting characters of the Gillette gel, 63 ASB, and 63 edp, and of course Alum and Talc

A good Start to Barber errand Monday, and show prep for @drinksndaves @NurseDave , where we will be talking about Rocks and barber stories ( no, not mine )


Have a Marvelous Monday Folks

Hello Cadre. It’s a pretty day now (72F/22C and sunny), but we had some rain earlier. Went back for my postop visit for the surgeon to treat my rather large hematoma (think blood blister), which he did. By pushing not-so-gently on it, he squeezed out, I don’t know, about 2-3 gallons of blood and other fluids. Had I done this myself, you’d call it “popping a zit”, however when done by your surgeon, the correct term is “expressing a hematoma”. Enjoy your day, and your dinner, Cadre. 😇

Happy Friday, Cadre. It’s a beautiful sunny day, but a bit cool at 60F/16C. No complaints from me. I’m freshly shaved for this evening’s meetings. 😊👍

Happy Saturday afternoon, Cadre. It’s sunny, 73F/23C here in the Burgh. It will be a perfect evening to hold our meeting outside. I’m looking forward to it, as I recently “joined” this group, and I’m chairing, which means I invite the speaker. In this case, I invited a remarkable woman: army war zone veteran, who was stationed all over the world, including Alaska. She’s going to wow this meeting tonight. 🫡🇺🇸

Be well. 👍

This shave was last night, as I had an early ophthalmologist appointment this morning. All good news, though my left cataract grew a little, changing my prescription a bit. So, new glasses are in store for me. Hello, Warby Parker. 🤓

A drizzly Tuesday at 68F/20C. Nothing in store for today, mostly I’ve been sipping decaf and reading my first Stephen King novel, “11/22/63”. It’s a very good read centered around time travel. What would you do if you could travel back to 1963?
