Razor: Enders Speed Shaver
Blade: Schick Proline (2)
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Soap: Stirling Ramblin Man
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Stirling Ramblin Man
Fragrance: Stirling Ramblin Man

Well after getting the lather shots @woodpusher wanted

Spoiler: Actually

DEMANDED

Note, I'm not a bowl latherer is why I typically don't have lather shots. I got my shave on and had a great shave with Ramblin Man. This and Triumph are my favorites of Stirling at this time and after today's shave I couldn't say which would be Top Dog. Another great shave with the Enders Shaver at a more aggressive placement of the blade. Smooth as silk, I'm on team Slippery Eel today @Majorrich Have a Stupendous day today Cadre !!!

Well thank you Dave. On your recommendation we did venture out to Palo Duro Canyon and we enjoyed it a great deal. I think you need to camp there to get the full impact. I spent some time trying to decide if I would feel comfortable taking my 40' Class A Motorhome down to the campgrounds. Still not sure about it given the steep and narrow road down. Of course, after our pathetic Rand McNally GPS sent us up a residential street in Astoria, Oregon with 18% grades I feel like I can drive anything if forced into it (until, of course, I can't).

Astoria, Oregon

Find any pirate ships out there?

2019 Shave # 300 ( 353 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Enders Speed Shaver
Blade: Schick Proline (3)
Brush: Stirling Fan Badger
Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Sharp Dressed Man
Fragrance: Sharp Dressed Man

5th Stirling shave this week is with SDM and the Stirling Fan Badger brush. Typical great Stirling performance. 3rd shave with the Schick Proline blade in the Enders. It gives a good shave but I will need to revisit the Chick blade as I do believe it is the smoother one of the 2. Day off to day to do....................I don't know other than go get my blood drawn for labs and perhaps a Flu Shot while there. Have a great day Cadre !!

 

[woodpusher]

Flu shot! ...... I knew there was something I needed to do.

 

[dangerousdon]

Don't wince to bad when they insert the needle! Good luck with the labs and man you are going to smell great for the clinic!

 

[MilkCrate]

Flu shot for the wi ... oh wait.

Good stuff Dave! Sounds like a casual Friday, enjoy!

 

[Majorrich]

Getting that flu shot is pretty important. Especially for we, *ahem* more vintage gentlemen.

Ugh... flu shot...
Tried one once and got sick worse and more that year than any before or after.
You can have mine.

Correlation vs causation brother. Correlation vs causation.

 

[Brew]

I just avoid people. They make me sick.

[Ok, maybe that wasn't as friendly as my avatar would let on . . . .]

 

[Dave in KY]

Thanks for all the comments guys !

I've only had the flu shot 3 or 4 times over the past 5 years but never had a problem with it so get it when I remember. All those shenanigans are done and got some electrical wires moved and added some GFCI outlets in the bathroom. Now I'm just chillin and listening to KJ and Amber @Spider eat hot wings which is making me hungry............

Been too long since used this soap/splash. Had a little trouble getting the consistency I wanted but still got there ad a great shave with the Vector. Finally made my way back to tied for second place after falling in the polls on the Football Pickems. Not that I think I'll last there. Long day at an Assembly in Somerset KY and hopefully dinner at a Costa Rican Resturaunt that I love. Have a great day Cadre !!
