Nice stuff Chad. Need to try my sample of Williamette Woods and Bill gave me his Gunslinger since he had a tub already. 1 more of LNHC'S first tomorrow.

The Williamette is a very nice scent. I am sure you will like that one. Gunslinger has interested me but haven't tried that one yet.

Well sticking with the April theme of April Fools, I reached for a great scent , that means you must be a fool if you don't like it. :whistle:;)

The shave was absolutely wonderful, and honestly speaking I think I am realizing how bad some of these weird DE blades have been. This General is delivering WONDERFUL results.

Well today is a special day. I grabbed a few tubs of soap and asked Sadie to pick. She picked the Stirling Barbershop. You'd be a fool to not like this scent LOL! Then I obviously had to use my Sadie Brush. I absolutely love this brush and Eric did a great job making it for me. It is very special to me. Thanks Eric for the one millionth time LOL. The overall shave was BBS, and with the AS and EdT I smell great. Stirling's EdT's are an excellent bargain and I highly recommend getting a bottle or 3.

Well it is my daughter's second birthday today. So took the day off. We are taking her to build a bear, then lunch, and then when Connor gets out of school we will have some cupcakes. Her party with the extended family is Saturday. Love my little girl so much and hard to believe she is already 2 years old. Hope you all have a great day!
 
A very Happy Birthday to Sadie! Nice shave as well. I still have the spare blank I made for that handle lol.

Well I had plans of recording my shave today. My new phone arrived and in fact I had it all set up. I was doing a regular shave as you can see. I got to the final rinse and was going to pause and instead I started recording. Yup was literally talking to myself. Thankfully the shave went well.

The soap is new. The company Beehive is local to Utah, and the local grocery store stocks her items. Well yesterday I saw they had local items on sale. So picked up some honey, eggs, beef, jam, and then it dawned on me! THE SOAPS!!! So I went to her section of the store and with the discount I paid $11.99, which is a steal for 6 oz of soap goodness. This is a Tier 1 Box 2 soap for me all the way. And the scent is fantastic great cologne inspired scent, that reminds me of a good mix if you sprayed one spritz of Green Irish Tweed, and one spritz of Aventus.

So with the whole not hitting record thing, the day just got worse. This morning I went downstairs before my shower, ground some coffee and put it in. Well guys just so you all know you need to fill the reservoir with water in order to make coffee. So NO COFFEE THIS MORNING. Then I get to the security gate, and realize I left my security badge at home. Well remember Thursdays are my early day. So no one is in the guard shack. SO I have to pull off to the side call security and wait for someone to walk out there. So I take my early morning call from my car on my cell phone. Finally get into the building and realized my keys are with my badge. So another call to security to come unlock my drawers since I have to get into that since we are now on an open floor concept, and I no longer have an office (still upset about that, but I did get the raise). THEN I decide to walk downstairs to get coffee get to the register and YUP left my wallet at home probably next to the badge and keys. Thankfully I had already set up GooglePay on my new phone so was able to buy my coffee. What a day!
 
Wow Chad....if my wife read that and didn't know you posted it, she would've swore it was me haha! I forget things all the time, and have in fact tried to make a pot of coffee without water recently too! Like Eric said though, at least the shave was good!
 
Any day without coffee can't go well, it's just a law of nature.

Well the bright side is you can buy good soap in a local store. I can't even buy bad soap in our local stores.
That's the ultimate dream isn't a great local artisan in every neighborhood?
 
Sounds like a rough morning lol. At least the shave was good.

Somehow I made it

Not sure how I even got dressed lol

Wow, hope things improve...........how can't they 👍

Exactly!

And that was all before 8:00am! :p

Hope the day gets better! Way to show solidarity with @Majorrich!

So true! Put it rained all day yesterday
