Chad's adventures of shaving, officiating, and life

Things have been very busy for me, and I don't have a good excuse for not posting stories.
I dunno, that sounds like a good excuse. Don't need the wife and kids upset as us cadre for pulling you away.
 
Still, we need a game time Chad cam for all the juicy action. Kind of like a Cops version of basketball.

They don't record as many basketball games. EVERY football game is recorded. I wish it was easier to get game film. And a lot of the coaches that record act like it is some hot commodity and don't want to share it.

Guess you’ll have to use a body cam.
 
Razor: Schick Injector
Blade: Schick (?)
Soap/cream: Chiseled Face Trade Winds (11)
Brush: Semogue Owners Club
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Chiseled Face Trade Winds (11)

Well I had plans to use another bad blade but I slept in after a very tiring game. So reached for the Injector, which honestly probably needs another blade. But it performed well enough. I also used the new copper bowl I got for my birthday for the first time and it actually was quite nice. I had a good lather.

Well ya asked for stories so here ya go. Yesterday I was doing a rivalry game and it was a close game. And both teams ran alot and called very few timeouts. In fact the first time out of the game was called in the 4th quarter. Anyways in the 4th I have a foul and the coach screams at me when I report and put the foul on #33. He said, "come on put the foul on 22, this is 33s 4th foul." At this point I have had enough this coach literally argued everything! If he focused more on coaching instead of complaining to the officials maybe he would have won. So anyways my response to him was a turn and look like are you serious. I said, "I'm putting the foul on the player who fouled." He then said, "come on you haven't given us a call all night." So I just waved him off and shooed him away. This was the mistake because it looks bad. What made it worse was on the way back down the court the assistant coach had to chime in and said, "way to be a jacka** if we lose this is on you." So I called the technical foul. So now to everyone in the crowd it appears that I baited the coach because they obviously don't know everything that was said on the court. But oh well. Anyways I guess I'd just say that even as a spectator remember you don't have all the facts.

Anyways ready for a relaxing Saturday. Have a good one cadre.
 
There always that one guy that has to add his two cents and make things worse...

Great stuff, Chad
 
Got a call this afternoon that the high school around the corner from me had a game today. And the referee assigned (who I know) had his knee dislocate 2 min into the game. Paramedics where on the way and I was called to go finish the game. Not the circumstances I wanted to work a game today but I did.
 
Yikes, that poor ref! He must have waved off the other coach’s brother.

Any coach that REALLY believes that he lost a game based on a foul probably doesn't need to be coaching. These are tactics I know...but still. And you are right...as spectators we don't know everything that is said on the court. But man oh man...it is fun to yell at the refs anyway!

That sucks about the ref that dislocated his knee. You never want to see or hear about that with anyone. Hopefully nothing tore and that it is just a dislocation. A little ice and he will be up and running in no time!

Brush: Maggard Synthetic

Well had a good shave this morning. Sold DFS on neck and BBS every where else. 12 shaves on this soap and still digging it, I think there is roughly 18 left based off my usage which has dropped off a tiny bit but time will tell.

Had a nice morning at church. Today my wife and I have been playing the Harry Potter Co-op game and just relaxing with the kids too. Tonight when the kids are in bed we'll watch the next Marvel movie as we prepare for the new releases. Hope you are all doing well.
 
Thanks for the story Chad. I imagine it must have been done a few times and I haven’t seen it because I don’t read about sports, but it would be cool to have a behind the scenes article from the refs point of view. And dislocated knee? OUCH!!!!!

I think it was the Big 10 conference had a youtube series where they followed a crew all season a few years back. Very good watch in my opinion.

What did you get for it?

visit from the spelling police LOL. (stupid autocorrect phone)
 
Razor: Timeless .68
Blade: Dorco 301 (2)
Soap/cream: Chiseled Face Trade Winds (13)
Brush: Razorock F400
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Chiseled Face Trade Winds (13)

Well had another decent shave, pretty much the exact same ast the last 4 with these Dorco blades. They won't give me a BBS all around but it is serviceable at least. I used the F400 today which is a beast of brush and just gave an excellent lather paired with my Timeless bowl.

Well yesterday I had a flood of emotions and was more scared than I have ever been. The only thing that came close was when my son was transported via ambulance after a seizure in a hospital to another hospital. I bought my wife's wedding ring from a place at the local mall. In order to keep the warranty every 6 months she has to go back and have it inspected, cleaned, and prongs tightened if needed. I always joke this is where they swap the diamond out for a fake. Anyways Sadie was down for her nap and my mom came over and her and my wife went out they were going to go get the ring inspected and grab lunch, this was 1PM. Well while Connor is playing Legos I grab my phone to check Twitter. There I see it, "Active Shooter at Fashion Place Mall." I immediately go into a panic and try calling my wife. No answer. I call my mom no answer. I call my wife back, she answers and I am freaking out. Thankfully for whatever reason they decided to NOT go get the ring inspected and instead went to lunch at a restaurant at the opposite end of town. After all the facts came in it was found out to be a gang issue, but that moment was just a reminder of how precious life is.

have a good day Cadre
