Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.


Got a couple from Sting for you this morning from my favorite of his solo albums, The Soul Cages. Hope you enjoy.



Fantastic shave this morning! Got in my bottle of Zoologist "Bee' yesterday so I used "BEE-spoke", the matching soap and after shave tonic from @CBLSoap.com . Three passes worth of superb lather provided a DFS+ result. Finished with the aforementioned matching tonic and a spray of "Bee". Wonderful!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's "Women of Rock Wednesday" here at WMRK Internet Radio (All Hits - All The Time®) and here's a couple from the incredible Ann & Nancy Wilson and their band Heart. Hope you enjoy!



Another fantastic shave today! Went back to Murphy & McNeil's latest, "Barbershop De Los Muertos 3". Great yogurt-like lather, super slippery and very fragrant. Three passes for a DFS++ result and I finished with a splash of the matching after shave (+skin food) and a spray of the BDLM3 EdP.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Revisiting Depeche Mode for today's Morning Music. Here are a couple from their album Violator. This is another one that when I hear it takes me back to my Navy days. Hope you enjoy!



Fantastic shave this morning. Went with First Line Shave's "Illustrious Oud". First use and I was blown away with both the quality of lather and ease of building it. The scent is a lovely earthy, spice-oud with a touch of sweetness in the background. Three passes and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Arabiyat "Oud Al Layl" EdP. Wonderful!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

The day has arrived! The CFP National Championship game is tonight! So let's get some appropriate music going! 🧀



Great shave this morning. Went with the spicy-rose of WCS's "Oriental" soap and splash. Great scent and lather. Three passes and I finished with the aforementioned splash (+ skin food) and a spray of Creed "Royal Mayfair". Great way to start the week! Now if Bama can get the win tonight it's be the perfect start to the week!

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
