Well since the LEA cream bit the dust I have been using the Triumph from Stirling. I really enjoy this scent and it is a winner in my book. Not sure why but haven't really been in the mood for constant change in the shave department. I grab a different brush each day but that has been it. How do I get out of this rut? At least the shaves are close and comfortable, isn't that the point?

Well football last friday was good, worked a high school's blue and white game and those are fun because the coaches are more laid back and actually listen to us and invite us to go over rules with the team. This season is going to be struggle on two fronts. High school is going to the 40/25 second clock, which normally wouldn't be a problem except for some of the lower class games the clock operator is whoever they can pull out of detention. They also re-worded the illegal formation rule on offense to this, "Offense must have at minimum 5 players on the line, and at maximum 4 in the backfield." What this does is actually get rid of flags as now an offense can in theory run with 9 players on the field, why they would I don't know, but hey its kids out there. For some reason though coaches are totally misinterpreting this and only reading the first part. I had a pretty lengthy discussion with the coach friday that the rule change does not mean he can run a Canadian style offense or an Arena style offense. This seemed to really baffle him. Is it friday yet? Week 1 begins this friday and I am READY!

Have a good day Cadre.

Glad the season is off to a fun start for you...and that you have a clue about what you’re saying, that was all gibberish to me lol.

Of course we don’t want a Canadian offense, they’ll be too friendly and give the defensive side their touch downs!

Yup same set up last few days and the performance has been great. I really have the Stirling dialed in. Using it a few days in a row I feel I have mastered it and the lather is super slick! Hard to justify putting it back under the sink.

When not at work I have been watching game film of the two teams I am officiating this Friday. Also been studying the rule book. Taking this season extremely seriously and hoping for a great one! Is it Friday yet?

Roger that! Stirling could easily be my only soap.
 
Razor: Vector
Blade: Feather ProGuard (3)
Soap/cream: Lakewood Honey Mash
Brush: TSC Member Brush
Aftershave1: Thayer's Cucumber
Aftershave2: Pinaud Whiskey Woods

Well today's shave went real well, and I have been using this soap and CBL Coffee soap alternating between the two the last few days. The shave's have all been great, and the Vector continues to be a great razor. The Honey Mash is a great scent that I wish I had a splash for, but I go ahead and pair with the Whiskey Woods and it is good enough.

Well started with bad news, my dad's side of the family is extremely close, and one of his cousins passed away. We were very close to them, and he was taken way to young. Cancer sucks. I have a week of football this week, and Connor started Kindergarten today. Hard to beleive he is in kindergarten. Hope you all have a great day.
 
I now what you're going through, Chad. We received word on Sunday morning that family in Trinidad were called into the hospice for my sister-in-law (stage4 when first diagnosed), so we're expecting a call at any time.

Stay strong.

Well as I make my walk of shame... hello everyone. It has been ten days since my last entry here

Image result for embarrassed gif


However I did shave those days. Basically with this:

Razor: Parker Variant
Blade: Parker (5)
Soap/cream: CBL TSC Scent
Brush: Ute Brush
Aftershave1: Thayer's Cucumber
Aftershave2: Stirling Mountain Man

So the shave have been great! Excellent in fact. I have been so busy with Megan back to work and school starting that I just kept using what was out. Well after what happened today during my shave I figured I better ensure I get a post back up.

Yup that happened today. So @CBLindsay how does the refill program work?

It's up there lol!

Wow with Connor starting kindergarten, Megan at the new school, Sadie's routine all thrown off as she is only 2, and the beginning of football season. Couple that with 55 hours a week at work something had to give, and sadly I have fallen behind the journals here. I am up to date on most everything else. Well there is the videos too but let's be realistic

I probably will never get caught up there and will just need to start with the most recent dates.

I have high hopes with the holiday weekend coming up to get caught up on all the journals. We shall see.

Anyways it is UTE day to day. My Utes enter their rivalry game today to kick off the season. And after getting 8 in a row, 9 almost seems like a sure thing. All I'll say is with all the love the Utes are getting from the national media they better win. Otherwise the season can be a bust early.

Anyways have a great day Cadre!

What a start to the new school year! Glad you could check in Chad. Sounds like life is busy...but good!
 
Life happens in waves bro. Sounds like you’re learning to hang ten 🏄‍♀️. When you have younglings I know, we know, what’s that’s like. Just do what you can. You needn’t apologize for that. I’m proud of how you are doing as it is.
