Great shave! I really want to get some of that Colonia Intends.

Thanks Frank! The ADP I got as a sample...very nice, classy scent!

Colonia Intensa is an amazing frag. It doesn’t come up often, but every time it does I’m reminded that I need to replace the bottle that took a bullet lol. I really need to get on that.

It really is quite nice and refined. I’ve got to try the regular ADP at some point.

Shave #53 (456 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Gillette Prewar Tech, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!

A bit groggy today. Stayed up late last night doing some writing for an application.

Great shave this morning to freshen me up a bit. No hull plating damage, as our buddy Rich would say! Not much else to report on that otherwise. Such is the 3017 life

Going to be a week of chilly mornings and sunny but cool days. No more rain or clouds in the forecast at all...le sigh...

Have a great Monday all!

Now when you say "chilly mornings", what exactly are we talking about?

Chris, you are almost there. It's time for you to fully commit to the 3017 lifestyle and culture. We're waiting for you to cross over...

 

[MilkCrate]

Happy 3017!

If I weren’t experiencing the same thing then I’m sympathetic. I would say it sucks to be you.

However, I am doing a hybrid 3017. For this, I have empathy. So I say it sucks to be us.

Not as cold as it was a few weeks ago...but mid 30s, yea...so California cold

It might happen yet! Or I might just deny anything such thing has ever happened until my dying breath!

Happy 3017!

Gear: Gillette Prewar Tech, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Barbasol Pacific Rush AS, and Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence to finish!

Almost there...two shifts to go!

Great shave. Donut hole is pretty large now but the ring is still pretty thick. I’m still in this faux 3017 for a while. Classic aquatic finish with Barbasol and Bvlgari Man!

Today is the youngest’s birthday...10 years old! Craziness. Going to have a drive by party for him this afternoon and then Friday we’ll go visit family and he’ll have a party party with his cousin who was born the day after him, literally.

Have a great Wednesday all!

Happy B-Day to the junior Noir!!!

 

[MilkCrate]

With all the drive-by B-Days, I wish I had the foresight to create a gift cannon. I could have been rich, famous or infamous.

Now you're talking. Any birthday that includes explosives is a winner in my book! Happy birthday to the youngest of the noir clan!

Or all three, depending on what state you’re visiting or whether the country you’re forced to flee to allows extradition.

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

Happy birthday to Little Noir!

@MilkCrate put me down for 2 cannons please!

Thanks Mark!

There’s still time! Million dollar idea! Make it car portable and your golden!

This is true

Yes! Thanks Bruce.

Gear: Gillette Prewar Tech, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familiasynth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Paul Sebastian to finish!

My Friday is finally here! Woohoo!

Pretty decent shave today. After nearly 2 weeks of shaves I think this Bic is nearing the end though. Wrapped up with a little of Lisa’s PSE since the cold has been getting to my skin a bit and finished the work week shaves with the powerhouse PS cologne!

One meeting later this afternoon. The missus will be out later taking her last final. So it’ll be a boys night. I’ll be making Spam fried rice for dinner! Definitely looking forward to that!

Have a great Thursday all!

Spam! And Rice! What is Mrs Noir studying?

Spam! And Rice! What is Mrs Noir studying?

She’s getting a Bachelors in Christian Leadership which should finish over Summer and will be going straight into a Masters of Spiritual Formation in Fall.
