A nice early morning shave today with the Osprey and SV products. 3-passes and good stuff. Not
much else to report other than some nice steady rain in the evening and overnight

Certainly @AvocadoQueen is ecstatic for the “free plant watering” especially with all the hard work she has done planting all sorts of fruit trees and other plants to make our property a micro-climate

Other than that one more day after today and VACATION for the Turkey day Holiday!

Have a good day folks

Hey, it can work. Our front and back yards are filled with trees; consequently our house sits in temps noticeably cooler by at least 5 degrees
Fahrenheit. Our back yard ends at some woods, and is very shaded. Deer stop by to chill for awhile, and we have no shortage of wildlife. Good for you, @AvocadoQueen!
 
I'm so happy that we bought a house that has trees all around (our old house had several large palm trees but the offered very little in the way of shade). The temp is noticeably lower. I'm planning on adding a lime tree (because adult beverages!) and some grapes.
 
I can't say yet what all I have planted or am planting because of this game. I'm proud of my effort, but I can't claim successful harvest yet. I will be praying, and doing Raindances and possibly some druidic rune casting for the harvest. :giggle::);):cool::p
I will say this, MoonDrop Grape is not one of the plants in my yard.

It’s my Friday, it’s also the last day at the shop before a very nice 10 day vacation for the Thanksgiving holiday, a zoom call Sunday, a live show Tuesday. Things are very very good. Not to mention some home projects that have been on the side to get completed this next week

Today was all about lemon, fresh, clean and just absolutely wonderful and the Genco easy did quick work of the facial whiskers

Hope everybody has a great day

10 day vacation. I could use one of those! ;)

only issue as a business owner is 10-days no revenue, but the rest aspect makes up for that as I am typically on my feet for 14-16 hours on the 4 shop days, with no breaks, so it is also about giving these old bones and mostly metal spine a chance to recover LOL

Its always the Spaniards & Italians! With a Flamenco Dancer thrown in...... We being our 5-day journey of Filarmonicas and SV Razors. Today was all Espania y Italiano.... Well except fort the Brit ( Indian made) and the "Merican". I had not used the Seville in ages, and it is in Donut status, and was REALLY dried out. A bit of re-hydration and our Spanish Barbershop was back in business. A nice 3 pass shave with the Little Fili, and DSBBS.

Some La Toja and a few.......Ok more that a few Vasili's of the Tribute, some talc and ready to start the Vacation. Although a bit windy and cool for the day. A zoom call this afternoon and just enjoying the down time.


Have a Great Day folks

Crazy early shave. Good stuff all around. Thought I was on vacation, then remembered I needed my shears sharpened so had to go to the shop , so might as well take all the cleaned towels back as well and do a super deep cleaning while I wait. Now all I have to do is show up on the 29th and everything will be ready to go. Honed up a few of my shop razors while as the shop as well

Barber Errand day as well so time to box the compass around the city today. So my 1st cigar won’t be until this evening. Ugh! 1st world problem’s!

Have a good day folks
