Another pre-sunrise shave today, but being it is my Friday that is ok, because it is my early day. La Toja is simply the perfect Spanish Barbershop vibe. All the good notes with a bit more orange and spice. The “Locion” is a wonderful aftershave as well.

Well when in Spain, go Baroque, and the Elixir captures that feeling as well. The Osprey continues to impress

Have a great Saturday all

Quick and nice for a Sunday Morning. Tried to sleep in, however did manage to stay in bed til 5;30... oh well..... Some morning patio time with "El Doggo del ACME" and a nice cuppa and a cigar, laundry and a quick shower, shave. Proraso needs not explanation.... Just good, and nice to dust off the Feather for a go around the face.

Looking forward to the Zoom call this afternoon,

Hope you are all having a Great Sunday!

A day from Hades. a beautiful morning that went dark quickly. Despite Blue stake marking everywhere, a Contractor who was doing a detached addition hit not only an electrical line, but our main water line. Thankfully the electric line was to our driveway gate, but the water was to the house. So no water till about 4. So an evening quick shave and Barber Errand day deferred until tomorrow "Sigh"

Have a good evening

Early shave / Late Journal Entry

What a difference a day makes Water and electricity back on House addition is done, now phase two begins with some pavers and gravel Chip seal for the entire driveway. the checkbook bleed continues, LOL... Since yesterday was a Dumpster Fire at best today was Barber Errand day, so up early and I was missing straight razors, however was crunched for time so quick and fast. Speick always delivers, as does the Tedalus.

3 good passes and DSBBS.

Have a good afternoon folks

Back to normal shaves for the start to my shop week. Cella bio is not your father’s cella. Gone is the almond marzipan smell and in comes citrus, herbs and skin goodness. It gives the Osprey a good medium to slide around on and leaves the face feeling great.

Finished off the the WH, Alum, Talc and of course Ferrari black. After this weekend I can use a good start to the week!

Have a good day folks!

All themed all Otter today. Excellent product, and flight related? How perfect can a shave get. The Blackbird flew true and straight for a nice three pass DSBBS shave

Followed by all the good accoutrements and a finish with the EdP and talc. A good start to the day

Hope your day goes well!
