Brush: Maggards Synthetic
Aftershave1: Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Avon Windjammer
Okay well back at it today. I grabbed the Feather SS because I haven't used it in awhile. There was problem #1. Problem #2 I loaded the Feather Pro instead of the ProGuard. There was BLOOD! Mr. Murphy is in Utah currently you have all been warned! However the soap! WOW the soap was awesome. I know KJ mentioned in his mail call video that he didn't get any of the Guiness note off the soap. Now maybe it is because I drink a couple Guiness each week, and it is one of my beer's of choice but I pretty much smelled Guinness throughout the whole shave. Not sure if that is good thing or not yet. But It smells awesome! And I enjoyed the shave.

Homefront:
Well I promised a football update. Since the coach I saw at Friday's varsity game I also had at the Wednesday JV game. Scroll back and read that story if wanted. So his team is losing, not by much and this has been a VERY close game. His team has the ball down by 10 in the 4th quarter with about 9 minutes remaining. They run a triple option offense, think Air Force. Anyways there is a run that comes to my sideline a sweep so to speak. When this happens I take a few steps back and let the runner get in front of me. As the blocks where setting up I could tell this is going the distance! Once this starts happening, my job is to watch his feet make sure he doesn't step out of bounds. While the back judge is watching his upper body and watching the blocks, he also has the goal line. As the runner is coming near the end zone he gets cocky and holds the ball out! BAD IDEA!!! The defense is closer than he thinks. The ball is knocked loose at the 2 yard line and rolls into the end zone. The defense jumps on it. NOW remember we don't have video replay we have to make this judgment call in the moment. So myself and the BJ just kill the clock and make no signal yet we are talking. Both teams screaming! One wants a touchdown (home team), and the other wants a touchback (visiting team and the team winning.) OH BOY! So we are talking and we both say ball fumbled at the 2 y
ard line! YES that we are 100% confident in! I say to him, you have the end zone what did you see did offense recover or defense. He says, "I have a clean recovery by the defense." I say, "Okay that means we have a touchback, that means this place is going to come unglued." We both take two steps back and signal touchback! OH MAN! Was it loud! Coach is PISSED! Yelling at me as I am on his sideline. I turn to him get back in his face and yell back (adrenaline), "COACH, YOUR RUNNER FUMBLED THE BALL AT THE 2 YARD LINE AND DID NOT BREAK THE PLANE, WE HAVE A CLEAN RECOVERY BY THE DEFENSE WE ARE GOING TOUCHBACK!" Coach continues to yell expletives. Fast forward to Sunday afternoon I got the film sent to me, and guess what! We got it right! Boom that always feels good.
Walking off the field after that game was a different experience. We were escorted by 7 police officers, and were yelled at pretty heavily as being escorted through the crowd being taken to our locker room. But at least nothing was thrown at us.
Have a great day cadre.
