Monday has Brian slipping into Ye Olde Englishe.
Thaynk ye Briane!
Good I think. Enough people attended that I could give it and I ended the sermon with the same number of people I started with!

Shave #235 (575 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL Hombres soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shopper post shave elixir, and Prada LāHomme + Fine Platinum EDT to finish!
Mish-mosh of shave scents today Acosta 3 easy passes with the Essence. It seems to be holding up fairly well so far with repeated disassembly for wipe down. Finished off with a layering of Prada LH and Fine Platinumā¦which probably seems like an odd pairingā¦dark smoky cologne with soapy super fresh/powderā¦but it seems to work!
Ended up being a bit of a busy day yesterday running around for patient visits. Had a good OT workout in the evening, getting in a little over 2 miles of run time among other things.
Tonight is a cocktail party for work. One of our big fundraisers is an annual regatta put in by the SB Yacht Club. It doesnāt happen for another month or so but the cocktail party is like a precursor schmooze event. The missus and I are going to pop in for a bit while the boys are finishing up their beach volleyball try outs this evening.
Have a great Tuesday all!

Is it like a black board shorts event or more casual?
I've always avoided these events like the plague, unless attendance was considered mandatory. Hope you all have a good time.
So which one is it? Black Tie or Yacht baby? I picked the wrong professions - IT never does exciting stuff like that

No way! Not this guy!
Iām generally a one drink guy anyway, no matter the functionMake sure you limit yourself to one drink only..
Cocktail casual apparently! First time Iāve ever hear that one. Ie - slacks and button up shirt, maybe a blazer.
Yea, I generally avoid work functions outside of work also. Iām trying to change that a bit with this job, since teamwork is a bit more important than previous jobs.I've always avoided these events like the plague, unless attendance was considered mandatory. Hope you all have a good time.
No server room raves?!
Blue blazer w/gold buttons, white slacks and shoes, and a yachting cap. You'll fit right in!

Shave #236 (576 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Skin Bracer AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP + D&G The One to finish!
Just about half way through the weekā¦itās Wednesday!
Pretty darn good shave this morning. The blade is getting to that usual point where itās a little iffy on the ATG around the chin, but passable. Ended up with a great result still! Layered Moustache EDP with The One to finish up!
Moderately busy day yesterday overallā¦mostly busy work. The fundraiser cocktail party was a bit lackluster for such a group of movers and shakers but was a decent enough event to spend the 40ish minutes that we did. Plus free wine and appetizers
Kids have their second day of beach tryouts today. Not much else happening as far as I know!
Have a great Wednesday all!

Man, this guy is a tough crowd. Gear at cocktail hour..."Well, I generally prefer my oyster from Maine and my caviar from the black sea. Apparently, those must not have been available. BTW, does anyone know if this champagne is vintage?"

I havenāt heard anything major in these partsā¦we arenāt much more than shoreline and up to the waist types anyway
Wellā¦sometimes you gotta push the envelope on whatās considered appropriate for āfreeā.
Maybe it kicked into gear after you left? Enough wine and cocktails can sometimes have that effect. Hope your kids do well in the tryouts!Moderately busy day yesterday overallā¦mostly busy work.
