On that note, did you bring your backdrop with you on vacation!?Thank you.
LOL no I left it at home.
Full disclosure, my back drop is just a golf polo that got torn so I can’t wear it any more,

Good afternoon Cadre! Hope you're having a great day.
Up at dawn and out and about. Drove out of town to check out some of the outdoors. Lovely waterfalls and a long 14 mile scenic drive that was beautiful but would have been nicer had there been more fall foliage. Still very green around here.
Great shave this morning. Went with the "travel kit" but still quality items.
Had lunch at a place called Muller's Famous Fried Cheese Café. The wife had fried mozzarella stuffed with ham and I had the 2 grilled Bratwurst with potato salad and sauerkraut with hot German mustard. Yummy! Back at the hotel for a little rest and we'll be going back out later..
Hope you're having a great week.

Good afternoon Cadre! Hope you're having a great day.
More shopping, sight-seeing, lunch and back at the hotel room for a little rest. Walking is the easiest way to get around here but there are a lot of hills. We've had a great time here the past few days. The wife has fallen in love with it so it looks as if we'll be coming back at some point.
Great shave this morning. Same brush and razor but today I went with Wet Shaving Products "Ol' Kentucky" Shave soap paired with Epsilon Amber. Great lather and wonderful DFS+ results.
Hope you're having a great week.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Back in the office today. Really enjoyed getting away last week. The wife and I really needed it. Wanted to ease back into the daily grind so here's a couple from The Rippingtons. Hope you enjoy.
Fantastic shave today! I observed "No Shave Sunday" yesterday so today's shave was especially nice. Went with another of my favorite cooler weather scents, Wholly Kaw's "King of Bourbon". Notes of tobacco, bourbon, vanilla and sweet / spicy scent of the cassia stand out most to my nose. Finished with a splash of Clubman's "Whiskey Woods" with added hyaluronic acid serum & ETHOS Reméde revitalizing serum and a spray of Stetson EdC.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Aah, continuing with the booze theme. What type of head is on your Red Tip handle?
It's the META-4 razor from Phoenix Shaving. They also sell a variety of replacement tips for the handle. I have a red (shown) as well as a purple one that I swap out from time to time.
