Nice morning out with the missus waking around downtown, getting some breakfast after dropping her car off at the shop, then picking up some last minute stuff for the harbor cruise/wedding reception this afternoon.

Beautiful day here along the SoCal coast.

I believe tonight’s venue will be a charter of the the prestigious Channel Cat, one of the largest catamarans in the area:

Ended as a great night last night. It was nice and chill cruising the coastline, chatting with some of the other guests. Still made it home at a reasonable hour for pizza with the kids.

Today is church service in the park and some other family activities. 👍

Have a blessed Sunday all!

Gear: Gillette Prewar Tech, Astra SP blade, TH Taurus A synth brush, CBL Steel Grey Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial clone oil to finish!

Pretty nice, n chill day with the family yesterday. Took them out for dinner to a family favorite brew/sports pub. Didn’t sleep so well unfortunately but not much to be down about that.

Dang…is it Monday already? Boooo.

Good clean up n shave at least. I seem to be alternating Proraso Red and this CBL Steel Grey Fougere a lot lately. My inner shave clock telling me it’s time to get these two used up I guess.

Have a great Monday all!
