I get that way by drinking at night..... and I'd bet my way kills less brain cells.

Probably less chance of death or cancer too...and tastes better!
Uh oh, they played the "make the new guy lick the floor" prank.

Lol even I would have had to lose a lot more brain cells before that happened.

Shave #143 (295 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Game Changer .68, Gillette 7 o’clock Green blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Stirling Mountain Man soap, Thayers Medicated, and Pinaud Special Reserve AS to finish!
Slept in a bit today, I was just exhausted. Took a nice, hot, (hopefully) cleansing shower to rid my body of whatever toxins I might be still carrying on or just under the skin.
Shave was nice. Edging ever closer to 300!
Today was my first use of a Stirling soap, Mountain Man, generously provided by @Aaron in my soap buy from him. I don’t know if he liked it or not. When first received, I stated that it smelled very generic, akin to a clay or almost play doh. Smelling it this morning before lathering, I got minimal hints of a cologne vibe, a very light leather and something bright or floral. Whatever it is, it keeps getting overshadowed by said “generic” smell more often than not. The lather itself, as a soap, is pretty decent. I can see why this is a good baseline soap for some and why it remains in the den for many. Decent slickness, a nice feeling lather (maybe not the best residual or post shave), plenty of scents to choose from, and decent prices.
Morning cups of coffee just got a little more easy. We were passed along a Keurig in good condition. So enjoying a cup, then off to a meeting and it’s back to work for the afternoon. Hoping to get at least a few finish coats on the floor before we call it quits. Really hope today is the end of it. I’m a little disgruntled about how this all came about and was executed, frankly, but that burden doesn’t need to be laid on you all!
Happy Thursday all.

Nope. Don’t own any, have never tried. The EdT sample from the 1st Anniversary brush was the first time I tried anything from them, this was the second.Ditto
I started out my artisan dive with a Razorock soap and moved on from there.
