Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
One of my all-time favorite bands, O.R.k. released a new album today and it's phenomenal! Here are a couple of tracks from it.. Hope you enjoy.
Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 47
Another great shave this morning with stellar results. Same cast of characters with the Williams Menthol soap, PAA synth, '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" loaded with a Gillette Platinum blade. Finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel and Ogallala "Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns" aftershave lotion. No frag again today.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Another day in the recliner with the leg propped up. Still getting better. Will likely go back to work Monday.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Returning to the "Realms of the Obscure" today. Hope you enjoy.
Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 49
Great shave with the same core setup this morning. Two passes plus touch-up today with the '67 Super Speed. Finished with alum, Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, Pitralon Classic aftershave lotion and a spray of Castle Forbes "1445" EdP.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Back in the office today. Feeling better though I'm not quite fully healed. Still taking the antibiotics. The foot/leg is still slightly swollen and red, but much better than it was. Some noisy storms passing through last night prevented a great night's sleep. Coffee and a great shave are helping.
Hope you have a great day.
