What I hear you saying is you would be interested in a massive upgrade to the wine used for the Eucharist.
Its weak and bland or the line would be very long and plenty of people would be chugging it down.

“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
Welcome to today’s episode of Use It or Lose It Monday!
Was obscenely bright and sunny into the early afternoon, so waited a bit longer for the run today to get some coverage on the path. Started with the missus, took her back round home, then continued on for another few miles.

Shave #111 (1200 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Razorock Big Bruce synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!
Nice chill and marine layer this morning. Upper 60s to low 70s later. Oldest is having his final indoor volleyball game of the season this afternoon. Been a tough year for them with a new head coach and a lot of lost talent from last year, but fingers crossed they finish strong!

No no no! Don't wear white with red wine!
@NurseDave Not all of us are stumble-drunks when we get a half glass in.

Shave #115 (1201 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Captain’s Choice Venture AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!
Hopping back on the open blade shaving wagon. And goodbye to Fine Platinum EDT as it gave its last spritzes today. Fine has been good to me since my early shaving days but I’m slowly moving on now to more neutral AS and no matching fragrance dupes, and won’t be reordering any of them. Once my AB runs out, that’s that.
