Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Apologies for my tardiness. Had to go have blood work done this morning. But I'm here now so let's get some tunes rolling. In a Floyd mood again this morning so for today I'm featuring the 1994 album The Division Bell. Hope you enjoy.
Wonderful shave this morning! Went back to one of Frank's / @Dragonsbeard newest, "Blood Orange" from his Italia Collection. Wonderful lather and aroma!! Three passes and I finished with the matching skin food splash and a spray of Acqua Di Gio.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Up late last night and hit the snooze button too many times this morning so I was running late. Therefore, no shave today. But there must always be music!!
Today I'm continuing on with the full albums, this time featuring the great Carlos Santana and his 1970 masterpiece, Abraxas. Hope you enjoy!
Hope you have a great day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Apologies for today's tardiness (twice in a week
). Had a followup with my doc for the results of my blood work as well as how I'm doing with a recent change in my blood pressure medicine. Results were good all around. 
Because of today's appointment, I'm going with a "medical" theme for today's music. Hope you enjoy!
Wonderful shave this morning. One good thing about skipping a day is that you know the next shave is going to be extra nice! Today we're going to the beach and I'm also borrowing a page from @Scuttlesoap and bringing some boozy items into play. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "The Beach" shave soap. Surprisingly, it really does capture a beach vibe! Hard to describe. The scents are blended well and together work their magic. Of course you need some adult refreshment while at the beach so after three passes I finished with Clubman's "Tequila Tease" and then moved to the islands with a rum, lime and coconut infused spray of Creed's "Virgin Island Water".
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
In a fusion mood this morning so here's one from the late, great Chick Corea. Live from 1991 here's "Light Years". Hope you enjoy.
Fantastic shave this morning! Went with SV's "Cubebe" for a nice combination of citrus, spicy / peppery floral and woods / musk. Excellent lather for three passes and I finished with the matching ASL and a spray of Alexandria Fragrance's "Zion" EdP. Wonderful!
Hope you have a great day.
