"TSC's Master of Bourbon"
I have a strong professional network that really came through for me in a time of need.
Brandon and Brendan are solid, and deeply cherished, friends as well as colleagues. They have gone the extra mile to stay in contact with me over the last decade and I have tried to do the same for them.
Congrats
Exactly how I felt with my last job offer.

Shave Stuff
Trying to get back into an every other day cadence with my shaves. Today, for once, I got up early enough to shave before work. I am not a fan of the 8to5 shift, but I am getting used to it. Eventually it will be routine.
The shaves are good, when I get them. The Yaqi stainless razor is comfortable and about medium aggressive. The Institut Karite soap is absolutely fantastic. This is my first, and only, puck of it. I think this puck has been in my stash since 2016 or 2017. I wish I had tried it back then. I would have bought several before it got discontinued. This puck is going to last me a while, since it is a hard soap. Every shave with it has been fantastic so far. The soap loads easily after blooming the puck. It whips up easily into a nice lather that is very slick and quite protective. I really like this soap. The scent is also very mild and pleasant.
Other Stuff
Life is going well. I love my job. I am playing lots of Magic: the Gathering. My brother is getting married next week. Everything is great right now.
Thank you for reading and commenting on my journal. I hope you have a great day and stellar shaves, Cadre.
