Fantastic shave this morning, with an all time fav set up. 3 passes and DSBBS, and AdG to top it all off.
At the Ranch: Absolutely Gorgious day here North of the Old Pueblo. Mid 70's for a high, some clouds, but otherwise PERFECT weather. Best time of year here. Even "El Doggos" are just lounging around. Vacation starts today and extends through the 3rd. Avocado Queen and I are bummed about not being able to Visit the Squatch and Family in Salt Lake, but Sharon's Sister is alone for the Holiday so we are staying home and having a quiet Turkey day.
Hope everyone gets some time with family and friends this week. Looking forward to the Zoom call this afternoon to wish everyone a great Holiday.
Have a Blessed Sunday Folks

11.26.2024 - Italian Shave marathon Continues.
Spent some more time with SV and Galileo today. One of the lesser known SV frags in Stella Alpina:
A crisp mountain stream, cold and fresh, connifer, tanins, and berries make this a journey for the Olfactory. 3 passes today and DSBBS as expected from Signori Galilei
At the Ranch: Car detail day, and prep for tomorrow which is fence line repair, figuring out which trees need to be thinned, and in a premonition by @NurseDave digging holes for a grapefruit and Lemon tree, that have been living in large containers for way too long. Also general sweeping and cleaning of the patio to enjoy a fire and this Fantastic Weather. In fact we will be enjoying Thanksgiving outdoors on the patio picnic table.
Have a tremendous Tuesday Folks

11.27.2024 -Afternoon Shave
A late afternoon shave on this Thanksgiving Eve. More on that below/ SV 70th, THE GOAT of the SV line and everything Acqua di Parma wish it could be. A wonderful 3 pass DSBBS shave with the Tedalus, followed by all the 70th Goodness. A perfect way to finish the day.
At the Ranch:
Woke up at the Gluteal Crease of Dawn today to Fix some fencing, some critters barged through on the Back of the Property, as well as digging some holes for the Boss , so she could plant her Very mature Grapefruit, and Lemon Trees. I think someone from China waved at me, as he was apparently digging some holes for his wife.
Also, power washed the patio, as we will be dining "al fresco" tomorrow and also got the Fire pit all cleaned up to enjoy a cigar and libation out by the fire ( See the "What are you drinking / Smoking for pics. All in all a tiring, but good day. Video posted as well
Enjoy your evening Folks

Hope you and yours have a safe and Happy Holiday

Clubman Reserve Gents Gin as a topper
A nice shave to bring in December. With Temps in the high 70's this light and "Gin & Tonic" Vibe was perfect for the day. with Lemon, Lime, Juniper and such, very refreshing. Add the Gents Gin as a supplement and it is convertible weather, even in December. The Osprey provide a wonderful addition to the shave and left the skin porcelain smooth.
Some talc and ready for a beautiful Sunday.
"At the Ranch"
Most of the outdoor lights are up, however is one ever done? so off to Home depot for some final touches including Christmas Hats for the two Wolves ( well now Huskies ) on the gate. Next year I think we are going to spring for the GOVEE permanent lighting system. So once and done and with millions of color combos, and patterns we can light up all the holidays without, ladders, and stuff...... Ya I am old, LOL. Other than that a nice day to just enjoy
Have a blessed Sunday folks

An Early Evening shave today, as the day was filled with errands and finishing up the Outdoor Decorations. Next weekend is indoor. It has been a bit since I used the Orion base, and the Hammam Spa, which is Chris' take on Savory Steam.... He nailed it. A very fresh clean scent, almost medicinal in nature.
As always the SA BB reminds me of Ed. and provided fantastic whisker removal, Finished up with all the other accoutrements, in prep for the DnD show, but unfortunately due to some circumstances we had to cancel the show, but will be back Next Monday night
Hope everyone enjoys their evening
