If you have to do something...

My father always told me there are three things a man should never teach his wife (as disaster inevitably comes):

1. A man should never teach his wife to drive.
2. A man should never teach his wife to play golf.
3. A man should never teach his wife to shoot. (Mom could outshoot Dad seven ways from Sunday)

I believe he came up with these thins organically.

Or screw it, go get ya one. It's easier to apologize than to get permission.....

Shave #122 (409 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, LNHC Barber Shoppe soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial clone oil to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 47:

Should be a chill Friday. That yardwork yesterday really wreaked havoc on my sinuses. I’m feeling better now, though still having some lingering effects.

Kids started in school and I got my shave in. Fresh Feather Pro, no o-ring...now that’s the Vector I love! Excellent all around with no battle damage. I smell darn good too!

We take the dogs in to the vet tomorrow. The dachshund should hopefully be getting her stitches out and the shepherd will be getting some of her skin/ear allergens looked at. Hoping we can walk away from the visit with a less than astronomical bill this time...

Hope you’re all having a great Friday! We made it to the weekend!

There was a saying in the Navy that went something like this: "Hope in one hand, poop in the other, and see which one fills up fastest."

Sounds like there would be a more hygienic way to get the point across

 

[Majorrich]

At least he said poop. That ain’t the way I heered it!

I was a proponent of frequent handwashing long before I became a nurse!

Not the way it was said, either...

 

[MilkCrate]

Chill day for the win!

Good luck getting out of the vet cheaply.

 

[GearNoir]

Thanks guys! The stitch removal should be free at least...

 

[DeepSea]

My thought exactly!!

Shave #123 (409 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ brown synth brush, CBL Balsamic Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and M&L Florida Water to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 48:

Another whopper of a day...and it’s barely half over!

Kids woke up a bit early, as they, for whatever reason, often do on weekends, as much as they complain during the week about sleep. The missus then got up, since she wanted to make some baked goods for everyone’s breakfast...so I ended up getting up too, just to have coffee and make sure things were ready for the vet’s.

Headed out to the vets with the oldest for the appointment for both doggies. 2-ish hours and $650 later, here’s the diagnosis: dachshund is healed up pretty well and her stitches are out, though she does have to keep covered with the cone just for a few more days to be safe; the shepherd has a host of allergies that seem to be feeding off the other in a cycle, so she’s got about 4 meds to take over the next few weeks to hopefully get her back on track and feeling better.

Came home, applied some weed/grass killer along the worst parts of the sidewalks and fence line.

Finally got around to the shave. Definitely wanted to give the Florida Water a fair trial, so I used the fresh, mostly scent neutral CBL Balsamic Oud. Three light passes with the Vector and I’m mostly BBS with a couple DFS spots I didn’t bother to clean up since it’s later in the day (more for tomorrow!). Then came the post shave regimen and the FW! Alcohol hit is not too bad, not any worse than Pinaud or Fine products...love the smell! I get a lot of lemon/citrus and cinnamon up front, drying down to more a light cinnamon and clove. I’d call it a cousin to the Bay Rum scent family. A very nice budget scent overall. Could probably be used to spruce up a generic witch hazel/aloe blend just as much as it’s nice by itself.

I’ll definitely be looking into one of those mega bottles to play with once this is gone and my Thayer’s Medicated is done. I’ve saved a couple nice glass bottles for various mixes I’ve been considering, one of which will be be a witch hazel/aloe blend very likely with some of this added.

Have a great Saturday all!

Ouch ... that sounds worse than our vet bills. But they still hurt.

Honestly it’s something we figured would be coming down the line at some point, it was probably overdue. We love our pets, but all one can do is their best, as one is able.

 

[MilkCrate]

Agreed. Our fur babies are well taken care of.

 

[NurseDave]

That was a pretty good description of FW. Not what I was expecting at all from the label for sure.

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to feel cheap and gaudy, but I’m on board!
