Up late last night watching the Jazz completely collapse....

Downright frustrating. And I hate to say it, but that may be the "wind taken out of their sails" - I'm not sure they'll win the series now, even though they're still up. I hope I'm wrong.

Trust me Chris as a fan I am deflated. But Game 6 is at home. And the Coach is really good at making adjustments. So I am not losing hope yet. Just have to keep telling myself this team is young and really set up for a good run over the next 3-4 seasons. Everything that has happened this season is just AMAZING on all levels. But when Westbrook decides to play basketball and not whine and complain there is no arguing it he is one the best players in the NBA... he proved that last night. That being said GO JAZZ GO!

True. I think his whining and complaining is why I'm not an OKC fan. No wonder KD left!
 
Welcome the early morning shave club!

I have to be at work at 6:30am, everyday.
Good shave!
 
Great shave. The Slim is a very fine piece of hardware.

Sorry about the game. Sounds like a horrible finish.

Not sure how to feel about that welcome LOL. As a kid I was always up very early. As I've gotten older I much prefer sleep.

It certainly is a fine piece. Love mine. Fingers are crossed for a great game.

Nice early one, Chad! It's always good to have a reliable go-to set-up.

Certainly true

Nice shave Chad. Today is a new day, hopefully your team recovers.

Thanks Don. I hope so also.
 
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (6)
Soap: Fine Platinum
Brush: Sadie Brush
Aftershave1: T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Fine Platinum

What a great shave this morning. I grabbed my Muhle and had a good one. On my last pass I was feeling the blade more than normal and figure that means it is time to toss the blade. 6 shaves off of a blade is not bad at all. I grabbed the Sadie brush this morning and that coupled with the Platinum created an excellent lather. BBS- today, I throw in the minus because on my last pass feeling the blade I added a tiny bit of irritation, but was gone after 30 min and I am just smooth.

Nothing crazy to report. Have a busy day today. After work, I am going to go help the KOC setup for the weekly bingo night and will probably call the first half, then head home and prepare for Jazz game.

Have a good day Cadre.

Nice shave and picture. Mr. Fine is a winner every time.

Thank you. And certainly a winner

Nice shave with a great scented soap/AS.

Thanks Don

Dagwoodz said:
Love the set-up today! Platinum is a good'un from Fine! (Do they have a bad one?)

Thanks Josh. They don't have a bad one but my least favorite is probably the Santal. Mainly because it is the only combo that I say is scented too strongly.
 
Razor: Schick Injector
Blade: Schick Blade (?)
Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: Stirling Finest
Aftershave1: T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Proraso Green

Well another great shave this morning as I get ready to tackle the day. On deck was my Proraso and I am now noting a drop in the tub. I'll need to weigh it again when it is dry and see where I'm at.

I chose the injector mainly because I have a busy morning planned.

Well was out at our Knights Bingo day yesterday helping out. Then headed home to watch the late Jazz game. They won and closed out the series. Now it's the Rockets... Ugh I consider myself a realistic Jazz fan... I think the Jazz can win one fingers crossed two games. But I don't see them winning a best of 7 I hope I'm proven wrong.

This morning I'm taking the wife's van in for oil change, tire rotation, and other scheduled maintenance. I want everything in tip top shape after all we are planning on towing the tent PUP trailer for a camping trip in a couple weeks. So I want everything in working order. After that we have my Dad's birthday party not to make anyone feel old as a lot of you could probably be my dad lol but he's turning 55. I'm going to have to start asking for his senior discount now when we go to dinner lol!

Hope you all have a great day.
 
Nice 'jectah shave today Chad. Good to see the Jazz take the series, I was hoping they would.
 
Nice shave, Chad. I hope that the birthday party is fun and that the Jazz defy your expectations.
