I'm always learning something interesting about my fellow Cadre.
From your stunt shave, Mark?
Kinda reminds me of my first straight shave.
Thank you for reaffirming my commitment to DE/Injector/AC shaving!Kinda reminds me of my first straight shave.
My moms is January 2nd and she always had a problem when she was younger because of it being right after Christmas too...No, no! It’s great…for the people buying the presents!
I don't know there.. I mean you know what they say about Bass players...
And you've seen some of their instruments !!!!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Let's get some tunes going this morning. Today I'm featuring a couple from fretless bass monster Mark Egan. A lot of bassists cite Jaco as their inspiration for picking up a fretless. For me it was Egan along with Shadowfax bassist Phil Maggini. Hope you enjoy!
Fantastic shave today. "Nightman" from Declaration Grooming is a nice lime/boozy/citrus/wood scented soap that IMO works as well in the cooler months as in the summer. Fantastic lather from the Milksteak base. Three passes and a DFS+ was the result. Finished with the matching splash and a spray of Tom Ford for Men EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Big citrus blast in the opening. As it dries down, pepper and cedar really stand out to me along with some leather. It's nice! Not a silage or projection monster but it's a very "mature" and balanced cologne. IMO it's a year round frag.
Seasonal, shmeasonal. I say if you like the scent, it's good enough to use year round. Easy for me to say, since I'm all unscented, all the time now!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Getting some tunes going for your Friday and wanted to give you some seasonal music to close out the workweek. Hope you enjoy.
Fantastic shave this morning. It has literally been years since I last used "The Fat" and after seeing a post featuring it recently, I wanted to reacquaint myself with it. First thing though, I had to find it! Took some time but I eventually located it. The soap was very desiccated and shrunken with cracks along its circumference. I applied some water and it reconstituted a bit. Still, I had little hope and was expecting a less than desirable lather. To my surprise it worked very well! Three passes worth of lather and I finished with a splash of Floid Vigoroso and a spray of ETHOS "Succés" EdP. Great finish to the work week.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

I have these types of "background music" videos on far more often while working than I care to admit!
Okay, so it's not "Blue Note Group" level music, but it's not bad for a work day.
