Don’t post stuff like this, Dave! My wife almost called the paramedics on me after I collapsed to the floor. You had me going for a minute there. C’mon, you can tell what you used today. The Essence? SV Cuba Baby?

After a disgrace yesterday as a HOBO, today was all about making up for that. A YouTube subscriber of my channel was nice enough to send me a gift do the Noble Otter Jack. Lemon, Lime, Juniper Berry, Spice, Mint, Gin, Elemi, Musk
A wonderful shave with the Osprey as well

Have a good day!

Again, from hoboville. I have been sick since Wednesday evening, and out of the shop since then. I wont go into the details, however I have set up a desk, computer modem and minifridge in the ShaveDen / Lavatory. A Flu/ Stomach Monster has Murphey's its way into possession, and this is actually the 1st day I have been vertical, other that the above mention of the "Room". Thankfully I have tested for the "Vid" each day and have been Negative (Thank God) We can thank @NurseDave for bringing to my attention that the "Vid" can also start with a Major Gastrointestinal bug. Alas, however we are negative.

Point is I have not shaved / nor showered since Wednesday morning. If you plan on going HOBO do it RIGHT. Other than Coffee and a Cigar or two ( all I could keep down), and a bit of chicken and rice the lack of protein has made me a bit loopy and very tired.

I had a conversation with myself during one of my fevery nights as well....
"Self"
"Yes Master"
"Your an idiot for not shaving"
"If I try to get in the shower, and or shave, I will pass out,"
"No excuse Moron"
"Really?"
"You have till Sunday!"
"OKAY, OKAY, maybe tomorrow"

... anyway just checking in and I was able to post a "Barbershop Shave Video" from Wednesday as well.


Still Alive though

HAve a Good day

"Exorcising the HOBO DEMON"

01.20.2024.JPEG
Well after 4 days of "Blech" I was finally feeling good enough for a nice hot shower and shave. A rare non-rushed Saturday shave, and staying at home This thing kicked my butt, still really weak, but with 4 days of growth, it was time to kick Senor Hobo to the curb. Armed with the MK*32 , as well as the Noble Otter Jack, and a Paladin, I was all set. The Jack is a wonderful mix of Lemon/Lime, Wild Mint, Gin, Juniper and some other goodies that are stupendous. As expected with Noble Otter, it is a wonderful lather and good scent.

3 passes with the Queen, known as the Destroyer of Whiskers, and Sometimes faces, she was very nice to me today, and rewarded me with a very nice DSBBS shave. Unlike the past where, she, being the only razor to ever cause me to have to get stitches. I treat her very well.

Finished up with Thayers Lemon, the Jack Aftershave which is a bit more Mint forward, and the perfect EdP for the Job in the Azzaro Wild Mint. Floris 1962 would work well her also, but the Azzaro is a bit stronger and pungent. Perfect

Feels so good to be clean shaven again and release that Demon of Hoboness. Although quite weak, I think I am on the tail end of this thing and will try some real food today. Thanks for all the well wishes

Have a Nice Saturday

early afternoon shave on a Scotland weather shave today. Cold & rainy, with temps in high 40's to low 50's. that is after almost 80 yesterday. Seem like we cannot make up our mind. Anyway, still feeling a bit puny, and not holding down food so well, so it has been a plethora of Saltines and lil nibbles of food, as my gastric system resets itself. The Fatigue is the biggest issue, but we shall prevail, and using this combo makes it so nice

A trip to Scotland and a cigar bar is the essence of this and when paired with Floris Islay, it does not get much better!

3-passes with the newly bladed Osprey ( on 5.5) and DSBBS. A few Vasilli's of the Islay, some talc and good to go!
