Hey man kids love parks!
Pfft Build a Bear smuild a bear, what is that junk anyway...more like build a bill.
I was so upset ;-)
Which is why the audible was called.
I feel you on the wedding ring thing. My wedding ring fell off my finger a couple months ago. I didn't want to get it sized until I finished losing weight. So my wife went on to Amazon and bought a few stainless steel rings in multiple sizes for $11 each!
I am wearing one of those right now. My ring size is now an 8.5! I don't think my fingers could get any smaller. I swear losing weight is so weird, because my fingers also look longer, not sure how that's possible though!
Razor: QShave Futur Clone
Blade: Personna Blue (1)
Soap/cream: Wild West Wichita
Brush: Wolf Whiskers
Aftershave1: T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Clubman Special Reserve
Oh boy! First this soap was PIFed to me from CMH737 and he didn't dig this scent. I was nervous because 9/10 we tend to agree with scents. But this one I really like! I am happy to have it so thank you Chris!
The shave today was very weird. I always pay attention to my technique when using this razor. But I got two nics and just felt a lot of irritation. When I removed the blade I noticed what I would describe as a notch in the edge. Needless to say I binned the balde after one use. I have never gotten a bad blade before so this was a first. Well after 4 years I guess it could be worse.
I did record the shave you will find that over in my vlog section.

Most definitely!
I think the blade was defective. I tried to get a close up during the video but it didn't show as well as I hoped. But I could clearly see that something wasn't right on the blade.
Razor: Grandpa's Gillette Slim
Blade: Bolzamo (1)
Soap/cream: Lisa's NHC Tobacco and Bay
Brush: Maggards Black Synthetic
Aftershave1: T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Superior 70th Bay Rum
Well today I grabbed out a sample from Lisa that put on a tub. This is her original formula. The scent is very nice and I really enjoy it. I recommend it for sure. I did re open the wound from yesterday but aside from that the shave was perfect.

I will get caught up hopefully tonight. We are going to try and get to the local Aviary and watch a bird show and feed some birds. Just waiting for the kids to finish the pancakes I cooked up. YUM! Have a great Saturday Cadre.

Thanks all for the comments. We had a great time and Connor even volunteered during the show which was fun. We got rained out so we stopped at Chuck E. Cheese for a bit. Kids had a great day. Wife and I are tired.

Nice shave. You reminded me, I have a Bolzano blade or 2 to give a go as I've never used before. Gotta dig it out. Sorry about the rain out but CC to the rescue !!
I really like Bolzano Blades. Good stuff! The rain was welcoming so I'm not complaining. We all enjoyed it until the down pour. For awhile it was just very light rain and we just walked around in it. Felt great!
Thanks Josh. No we did not eat there. We had already eaten at the Aviary so weren't hungry.

Well today I grabbed one of my elite soaps yup you heard it elite. Beehive to me is elite. It hits all the marks. I also got an exceptional shave. I wrapped it up with Whiskey Woods and am ready for the day. I did record the shave and it should be up later. I discuss some updates, what's to come, and just jib jab.

Nothing crazy to report. We are heading into church soon then have to run to the store to grab a few items. We leave Friday for a 3 night camping trip, then come home for a few nights then head out for a week! So a lot of camping coming up before the football season kicks into gear! Hope you all have a great Sunday Cadre.
