Chad's adventures of shaving, officiating, and life

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.
Ok guys, does it smell like beer or not!?!?

It doesn't smell like beer. Best way I can describe it is, it smells like the roasted sugary malt smell, with hint of coffee. In other words like Guinness with a hint of something else.

Soap/cream: Speick Stick (Shave 5/10)
Brush: Razorock Disruptor
Aftershave1: Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Speick

Well another Speick shave today and it was a good one, I am really enjoying this stick, no surprise there and no need to beat a dead horse. I did re-open the wound from yesterday so sadly Murphy is still in Utah. Hoping he leaves tomorrow.

In other news the Cadre did hit 100 members!!! So that means I am going to shave off the goatee, I do plan to record the shave also. I think I am going to do it actually on Thursday. So stay tuned. I just need to decide on a soap, razor, and brush combo. I am leaning towards a CBL soap or the Icarus. We shall see.

Nothing crazy to report. I had a referee union meeting yesterday. We watched film, and handled some business objectives. All in all a good meeting. Ready for the week to get closer to the end as I continue to officiate. I am doing a double header Thursday, Friday night lights, and a few games Saturday to help with little league.

Have a good day cadre.

Guinness doesn't even smell like beer.........
until it’s been left out on the counter for a day, then you get the traditional stale beer note mixed with the roasty stuff. Answer, no the roasted oatmeal stout has no beer scent to it, it does have those caramel and roasty toasty creamy notes you can detect in the rich foam head of a Guinness.
 
Good shave Chad. Looking forward to the 100 member challenge video!

Hope this weekend’s games are fun and less eventful than last weekend! ?
 
Great couple of shaves, reads, and pictures Chad!

So you had a Clemson vs Texas A&M like moment in your game then.

Yes we did. I can view the video, but I can't figure out how to share the play with the Cadre. I am trying though!
 
Straight Shave #203 The Time Has Come!

Razor: Feather SS
Blade: Feather Pro Blade (3)
Soap/cream: CBL Shave Soap Rosa Bourbonia
Brush: TSC Member Brush
Aftershave1: Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: 4711

Well the Cadre did it and the day has come! I shaved off the goatee. Oh boy it feels weird. You don't realize little quirks you pick up until they are gone. Can't chew on the upper whiskers any longer. The shave went better than expected, I did get a small pin prick on my chin but nothing serious, and it didn't even bleed, so I am not going to let it affect my rating. I did however do a second pass and clean up on the chin and upper lip with my Schick INJECTAH! It has been a year since I shaved this area and let's just muscle memory was not there. I did record this shave and it should be up soon. I know not everyone watches shave videos but this was a fun one to do!

The soap OH MY the soap. This is by far the best smelling rose scent I have ever used. It smells amazing and of course the performance was top notch! When it comes to rose scents I always tend to reach for the 4711 aftershave cologne and it is a scent that everyone should own, just like everyone should own Aqua Velva. If you don't own 4711 go buy it now and thank me later.
