Shave #304 (832 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL California Sunrise AST, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!

Hell Week 2023 completed! Swag obtained!

Great shave this morning at the butt crack of dawn. If the shave wouldn’t have woke me up, the morning chill sure would have…brrrrr it’s been some chilly nights/early mornings! Went with some slightly lighter, more sporty scents for today’s work day at the EOL facility. DHS was the finisher!

IDT this morning, then visits.

First day of volleyball tryouts was a mixed bag for the older boys. They felt they did great…it’s just hard pulling the coaches’ eyes off of their favorites…it’s been a struggle the most for the eldest, who’s actually really good, he just doesn’t fit the standard physical appearance volleyball look the coach likes. Hopefully today’s final tryout is better.

Kids may have decided to go trick-or-treating afterall…we’ll see!

Happy Tuesday all!
 
Shave #305 (833 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Captain’s Choice Venture AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!

Wednesday! Ooooooh we’re almost half way theeeere!

Great shave this morning. Great scents. And that’s about all I have to say about that.

Extreme drama and outrage hit the house last night as the oldest unfortunately did not make the varsity volleyball team. So after all his hard work and dedication to the team the last 2 years, he will not be finishing with a letter for sports. The d-bag head coach opted to break his own often stated rules of having kids work up through his programs by instead this year allowing a sophomore and freshman onto the varsity roster…who, surprise, surprise…hit the stereotypical volleyball look. He also added insult to injury with some other ridiculous statements, which are quite contrary to every one of the eldest’s training coaches (some who coach and instruct at higher levels than this coach). So frustrating, the shortsightedness of people!

Anyway rant over.

The kids’ Halloween outing around the local neighborhoods brought some emotional relief and a sizable pile of sweets that will probably last until next Halloween.

Happy Wednesday all!
 
Sorry to hear that Chris but your oldest can stand tall knowing he did what was required and maybe a letter to the school council exposing this hack. People like that, with personal agendas, should not be allowed to teach or coach our children

Thanks Dave!

I’m sure momma bear is going to do something. I have to excuse myself from the situation, as I wouldn’t be so reasonable. Such is life at times, unfortunately.
 
Mr Noir, I went to look up Oud Minerale the other day, and looks like it's not around. Did they actually discontinue it again?

I don’t think they ever really brought it back. I don’t see it up for grabs very much at least on grey markets or talked about. It would make sense to an extent, TF has had a number of new frags released since.

The major clamor remains for Oud Wood and Tobacco Vanille.

What kind of kids are you raising, Chris? No self-respecting youngster should have any candy left before the week is out! Halloween must be a time for kids to indulge. It's the American way, dag blast it.
