Do tell. What’s got you hankering for the weekend?
Nothing fun, just ready to be done with this work week.
Happy Friday cadre.
Tonight’s shave was a relaxed one. Circled round to one of my fancier Japanese razors.
And the WK has just one more batch of suds left. The Figaro AS is one my fav’s.
Bring on the weekend.

You have the Figaro Monsieur! That is my absolute favorite aftershave! I regret not buying more when I had a chance. I just didn't know that it would be so hard to get. I think I have one more splash left in the bottle that I am saving for a special occasion!
While we may never agree on the miraculously awesome products sold under the banner of Tabac. 
On this we can agree. Yes Figaro Monsieur is pretty dang skippy. It is the first AS that I re-purchased after emptying my initial bottle. For me it is only second to Alt Innsbruck. If you haven't tried that. You owe it yourself to give it a go. While more expensive it has longer silage. And slight menthol. And I think a very similar scent profile. I have just kept an eye out on Amazon for the Monsieur. It pops up on rare occasions. Kind of like a comet going by or an eclipse. Or a honest politician. Just gotta be patient. Hope all is well in Cajun country.

Two words apply to tonight’s shave.
Empty tub.
Lazy Saturday today. That ended with a nice visit by my stepdaughter and grandson. We had Chinese for dinner.

I have not tried Alt Innsbruck...but if it is similar to the Figaro Monsieur...then I am game! I originally purchased my Figaro Monsieur from Italian Barber. I haven't been able to find it since. I'll keep searching in hopes to find a bottle (of if I find it...I will likely load up on the stuff) or two. The Figaro Ambra or Gold can usually be found easliy. But That Monsieur...man that is the stuff. I would buy that aftershave in 55 gallon drums if I could.While we may never agree on the miraculously awesome products sold under the banner of Tabac.

Love the pics of the grandkid! Cute little bugger there. First pic I wonder if he has gas...second pic it looks like all is well if you know what I mean!
I kid...really. But he really is a cute guy!
@dangerousdon The first pic I told him that canned shave cream is just as good as Tabac shave soap.
Even at his age. He knows this to be rubbish.
The second pic is after I put a little Tabac Cologne on him.

Broke out one of my USSR razors.
Olfactory Hue provided the suds.
Whipped up by my Razorock 400
4711 finished off the process.
Bring on Monday.

As far as Mondays go, this was ok.
Shower and shave was much better.
Top notch hardware and software has that ability.
Gonna watch the rare double header football games tonight.

Thanks Tim. Yea it is a pretty skippy piece of kit. Might not get another minty razor like that for such a good price. I’ll keep looking. But I live in realville.
Tuesday went fairly well. The job for the day wound up being tree/brush trimming.
Grind it all up with a
And call it done.
The shave tonight was good.
Used the second anniversary soap from LNHC. And wiped away the whiskers with my Gold Rex.
Hope you guys have a good night and Wednesday.
