You and @Dave in KY on the same schedule these days?

Razor: Game Changer .84
Blade: Chroma Diamant (2)
Soap/cream: CBL Fresh Vetiver
Brush: Stirling Kong
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Aqua Velva Balm
Cologne: TOB's Mr. Taylor
Well today I grabbed the CBL Fresh Vetiver that is one of the newer scents. Once the water hit the soap the scent really opened up. Great scent actually. I am pretty picky with vetivers but this one is a winner. I prefer the greener vetivers vs. the darker vetivers. I then chose a balm so I could try one of my new cologne's this one the Mr. Taylor. Initial application it was really light. But it has dried down into a glorious scent and I have already gotten 3 compliments on it at work. I might have a new favorite. I am going to have t look into getting whole line. This scent is wonderful!

Yesterday we had a high of 65 degrees. But then it snowed last night and into this morning. 4 inches of the fluffy stuff and it is HEAVY! I am really sick of winter. Isn't it supposed to be spring?!

Razor: Schick Injector
Blade: Schick (12)
Soap/cream: CBL Oud Mineriale
Brush: TSC 1st Anniversary Brush
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Aqua Velva Musk
Cologne: Stirling Gentleman
Well today was an interesting day. After my coffee I decided to do my shave had everything set up to record and even had a bad blade selected and ready to use. Then my phone when kaput! So I called an audible on the razor did the above setup instead. And now the photo I had has disappeared but I did get it posted already in the TSC brush thread so you can see it. Anyways the new stuff.
Brush @Smattayu DID an amazing job. I absolutely love this brush!
Soap this is a very nice Oud scent with what I describe as an aquatic undertone very nice
Cologne this is a tobacco, amber, and something else. Very nice actually and paired pretty well actually.
The shave was good and perhaps a blessing in disguise that I couldn't use the bad blade as you will read in soon.

So after ordering the replacement phone we use Google Fi for our phone service I got a pretty good deal on a new phone, and went to one that has expandable memory. Not sure why some phone makers went away from that but customer service actually believes that is what killed my phone. I was operating constantly at less 2% memory available. After that we went and got our family pictures done. We always do them inbetween the two kids' birthdays looking forward to seeing how they turn out. We pick them up on Tuesday. Anyways getting the kids ready for bed. Hope you all have a great night!

Hey, forced upgrade nice!
Glad you got that squared away quickly!
I've had this current phone for 4 years. Ever since you have to buy the phones now instead of the standard upgrades like the companies used to do. I try to really get my monies worth. I feel like I did.

Nice stuff Chad and glad the phone is sorted out and a good blade for the shave before the family picture
Sucks about the phone, but four years in smart phone life is like 85 years in human life! Glad you got it fixed! Great shave with the new stuff!
Well the good thing about the Oud Mineral soap is that there is plenty there you won't have to buy at least that scent any time soon!

Aftershave2: Cherry City Oatmeal Stout
Well after getting the sample from @Cherry City Mustache I opted to grab the full tub of Oatmeal Stout and engulf myself in the amazing scent. Here I sit 9 hours post shave and I can still smell the aftershave. If you like this scent you must get the aftershave.
After the bad blade shave yesterday and still waiting on the new phone to arrive I opted for the General to deliver today. And boy did it... a NICE BBS shave!

Nothing too crazy to report. Just setting up appointments for final window measurements and going through underwriting and appraisal items with the refinance. We are eager to have all this down by the end of the month. I hope that to be the case!
Have a great day cadre.
