Thursday’s Shave
Every time I use the Stirling soaps it just delivers.
A mostly pleasant affair. Let me explain.
On a very bizarre side note during the shave I became aware of something tickling my right nostril. Almost felt like a bug. Upon up close inspection in the mirror (using the burn the bugs on the sidewalk part of my bifocals). The culprit was there starring back at me. A long nose hair that somehow had escaped my fastidious grooming routine. Which requires frequent trimming of ears and nostrils. On account of my distant relatives wandering into the woods. Getting lost. And taking up relations with Sasquatch in order to survive.
This thing un-coiled like a rattlesnake. And disturbed my “me time”.
So Just for you guys that think God doesn’t have a sense of humor. Yes he does. He plays these kind of childish jokes on me all the time.
It’s Friday so hopefully he is going to mess with someone else today.
Have a good one fellers.
Fluffy
 
I always dreamed and hoped I’d never be one of those guys that has to trim nose and ear hairs...no dice...it’s annoying as heck when you forget about em too!

The Morris Mfg. Prosperity razor did the bidness.
SV Badger whipped up the CBL Cigar Shop Injun soap.
And the Master Barber AS finished it off nicely.
In other areas of interests. Sent out a few items via USPS. One person is expecting something. Other folks may not be. Insert maniacal laugh here. A bonus of the trip to the Post Office. Was that the young philly in line ahead of me. Took great pride in getting her hospital scrubs to fit her figure perfectly.
The brush handle project has another possible route that may come to fruition. That involves a high tech copper alloy. And my good friend JoJo playing on very expensive machinery. My original and still possible solution is not a high tech alloy. And me using very low tech old school methods.
My mental gears turning and grinding. Tabac Tuesday looming larger in the windshield. And Monday fading in my rear view mirror.
Hope all of you are off to a good week.

While I have many soaps that I like very much. Tabac always delivers a good shave.

A bit of a SNAFU at the post office. My tracking numbers aren't working correctly. But upon my return to inquire. The guy said "It is gonna be ok." If not you may hear about some yahoo in a dump truck "Going Postal" and driving thru a Post Office. 🤔
Good day at work. And relaxing evening planned. Ready to whip the camel tomorrow and get headed to the weekend.

Sigh. I've already made the call that moving forward, any time I'm sending something of value through the mail it'll be UPS or FedEx because all the issues I've had with USPS. Hoping that everything turns out okay on your end!

Good day today. Even though it got a bit toasty here in Maryland. It was nice weather.
Did a bit of roadside trimming. I hauled the chipper out with the big rig.
In the shave den. My Bengall took the whiskers off with sharp and smooth ease.
LNHC Barber Shoppe Suds applied by my well broke in Omega boar brush.
Finished off with the classic Old Spice AS
 
I really need to replace my Omega. Loaned it out a few years ago and never got it back lol. One of the best values in wet shaving.

Friday is upon us. The temps are rising here in Maryland. Have to get Daddy's Girl ready for the Tar and Chip operations. Requires some modifications to the back of the truck.
Installing a special hitch. Removing hydraulic fittings for snow equipment. And modifying the standard dovetail. Generally a lot of "Big Guy stuff". Hope you are all ready to get the weekend started.
Fluffy.
