Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

GearNoir said:
Should be interesting to see what Dave caves in and buys today! I’ll bet his job this morning as a major department store. They lets him in early, he has a good repoire with the manager who lets him do some quick shopping sans lines, then he hoists himself up the wall to “work”, which is really just sitting back with some beers and his phone laughing at the mad rush when the store officially opens.

I mean...good shave! Brave man being up that early. Do you call jobs off temporarily if the weather is pretty bad/cold?

Friday morning are a couple regular floor jobs that I have the keys and alarm codes to get in and buff the floors before they open. Same on Tuesday morning. Windows I do regularly all winter every week. As long as it isn't windy I can wash windows down to 20 degrees as the inside heats the glass. If windy it will freeze it instantly. I adjust my schedule around really bad weather days though. ? Don't do high rises anymore.
 
3AM is way early. If I could sleep until noon everyday I totally would! But...money is money so I understand lol. I had a few of those early mornings when I was driving a tow truck years back.

Razor: Asylum Rx

Blade: Feather Pro Guard (5)

Brush: Sorrentino 24 mm Silver Tip

Soap: CFG Ghost Town Barber

Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla

Aftershave 2: CFG Ghost Town Barber
EDT: CFG Ghost Town Barber

As most know I popped the question and Aretha arrived yesterday. She was very pleased to help remove the glorious scent of Ghost Town Barber and told me if I keep treating her to such heavenly scents, we will get along marvelously. I told her that I had plenty of variety and would add more if NurseDave would let me. She said I should not worry and "IF" he presented a problem she would have a talk with her brother the "Doctor" and he would set him straight and introduce him to Murphy. I like this girl !! Topped off an awesome inaugural get to know you shave with more succulent goodness of GTB Splash and Fragrance. Have an unusually enjoyable day Cadre !!
 
Hey! Invoking the name of Murphy now? Things are getting a little outta control in Kentucky. ?

I’d say more about your shave, but I feel a little uncomfortable with you and Arthea and feel like I just need to shut the door and leave you two alone...

Razor: Timeless .68 OC
Blade: Gillette Rubie (7)

Brush: Rubberset 400 w/Maggard Synthetic

Soap: A&E Revolution

Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla

Aftershave 2: A&E Revolution
EdT: Penhaligons Endymion

With razor trials it's been awhile since the Timeless was used. Probably my favorite razor out of all I own including the new to me Rx. I like all the ones I have for some aspect but this one checks all the marks for me. Decided to go with the Revolution (wish I knew how to put the diacritic over the e) and whipped a nice lather with the Rubberset 400. Nice BBS shave and smelling good while sipping my coffee now. Will smell even better when I add the Endymion from the Pif from Aaron before going out the door. Hope everyone in the Cadre has a great day !!
 
Rèvolution! On my phone keyboard, if I hold down the letter, it brings up all the special characters as an option. If I was on a computer, I’d just go find it somewhere and copy/paste it.
