Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant week.
Tired this morning. Hate these semi-annual time changes. Wish they'd just pick one and stick with it. At this point I don't care which.
First day back at the office after the emergency trip to Florida so I need something easy-going to get back into the rhythm of things. So here's some music to get your Monday started.
Great shave today! Really like the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 head. A little more aggressive it seems than the Tatara and I need to be a little light with my technique. Fantastic scent and performance from the Noble Otter soap. Soap and matching splash for three passes for a DFS+ result. I finished with a spray of SpiceBomb.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Featuring a piece from one of my favorite drummers / composers. From his new album Protocol V, here's Simon Phillips with "The Long Road Home". Hope you enjoy.
Fantastic shave this morning. Went back with Phoenix Shaving's "Sun Down" soap and splash. Great lather and wonderful, "old school" scent. Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with a spray of Vintage Avon "Tai Winds" EdC.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Let's get some music going this morinng. Today, I'm featuring another track from Simon Phillip's new album, Protocol V. Here is "Jagannath". Hope you enjoy!
Another fantastic shave this morning! Went back to the Ach-Britto "Mogno" shave soap. Gotta say, the more I use this soap the more I feel it needs to be ranked up there with SV and MdC with regards to lather quality. Thick, slick and very cushioning. Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with a splash of Epsilon "Amber" After Shave and a spray of CK One "Skock" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Good morning Cadre. Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Apologies for my absence yesterday. Tweaked my back Wednesday and could barely get out of bed yesterday morning. Excruciating pain! Spent the day alternating between heat and cold. Tried muscle relaxers, pain pills (double my normal dose), OTC meds... Nothing helped much. So, no shave nor even a shower yesterday. Slept in my recliner last night and that actually helped a little. Guess it's time to line up some more lumbar injections.
Needing a "chill" day today, so here's some electronic chill music for your Friday.
Great shave this morning. Went with Fine's "American Blend" in the new formula. Very nice lather. Great slip but not as much cushion as I like. Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of YSL "Rive Gauche Pour Homme".
Hope you have a great day.

Banger Shave my friend!
So sorry about your back! But - I noticed that you didn’t try Guinness - which is a very well known cure for back pain. Just sayin’
