Chad's adventures of shaving, officiating, and life

Caught up, Chad! I am excited for the return of football as well, obviously for different reasons. I still say you should learn to skate though and become a hockey ref as well.

As much as I enjoy watching hockey I don't think I could officiate that sport.

Soap/cream: CBL Banana Creeper
Brush: Fine Stout
Aftershave1: Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Pinaud Lime Sec

Well today was another fun shave but this time with a another new offering from CBL. He is ironing out the details so patience cadre. But let me tell ya this is an awesome scent. The cold isn't as strong as other soaps I own but I like it, just enough to let you know it is there. The soap is an excellent performer and a solid Tier 1. Most of his earlier stuff ended up in box 3, but this newer stuff I think is a box 2.

Homefront:

Well we are on the homestretch. The Utes kick off the season tomorrow and I am stoked. A lot of hype going around on my beloved Utes for this season. I just hope they live up to it and don't lay an egg. This saturday will be full of football too! With 4 little league games in the morning, then a spot on my couch watching games all afternoon into the evening, I can't wait! I am most looking forward to Michigan vs. Notre Dame. GO IRISH!!! Anyways hope you all have a great Wednesday.
 
Well you lost me at banana...so they shave couldn't be all that great!

A game against Weber State should be easy peasy! But as history has taught us...you can't sleep on any opponent. Getting Washington, USC, and Oregon at home makes the schedule a little easier for the Utes. If Utah can go 2 - 1 out of those...win the rest that they are supposed to and take care of Stanford on the road...I like your Ute's chances of making the Play-Offs...that is if the rest of the power five doesn't have a couple undfeateds. But yes...FOOTBALL!!!
 
To me CBL perfecting a banana soap is like if Oppenheimer spend his time working on a nuclear powered pencil sharpener.

That USC is a MUST WIN game. I think if my Utes can split the Washington and Arizona game, and split the Oregon and Stanford game. They should win the Pac12 south. Looking at the layout of the land I don't think there is going to be a lot of undefeated teams this year. I expect the 4 playoff teams to all have 1 loss. With the way the Utes schedule lines up I think they for sure get one loss, but I can see 2 happening.

Dogging it and you haven't even tried it!

I'm intrigued by the sound of it myself. Nice shave Chad

Thanks Dave!
 
I think Chris needs to stop listening to Chad when it comes to scent advice. Banana? Dryer Sheet? Ugh....

(Why is there no barfing emoji?)

Is this a creeper like HB's creeper? In other words is he using Symcool (koolada) or is this menthol?

Bring on the Lime Creeper!

First of all, Banana is a great scent! Dryer sheet is a fresh linen smell to me.

And yes it uses the koolada. As to Lime Creeper...
 
Good stuff Chad, though banana sounds like an interesting prospect for a creeper soap. I'll be a partially interested viewer of college football this year...unless Penn State goes on a run. Unlikely. LOL

Thanks Josh. Penn State should have a good year this year I thought. Though granted I don't follow them too closely, but I thought it was expected this year.

Soap/cream: CBL Tabacaveg
Brush: Envy Shave Ute Brush
Aftershave1: Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Tabac and Lilac Vegetal

Well today I grabbed the Tabacaveg from CBL. And while I like Tabac and the Veg, I usually don't like them together. But this one he has mixed pretty well. I predominantly get Veg with a Tabac undertone. The soap is great performance, no problem there at all. I finished the shave with a good splash of Tabac, and then just a few dotties of the veg. Today's shave was very good I am definitely BBS+

It is game day! GO UTES!!!! I am stoked and ready to go! Opening Day for college football in my opinion is one of the best days of the year!

Um...I'm going to disagree with you here Josh...I think Penn State might actually make it to the CFP. I think they are poised to have a great season despite the loss of Barkley.
 
Chad...did you you shave today? Because all I read is that you doused yourself with old lady perfume .
