Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Been a stressful week. Too much to go into but I'm needing something laid back and relaxing today so here's a White Bat Audio Synthwave mix for your Wednesday, Hope you enjoy.
Apologies for my absence yesterday. Had a couple of doctors appointments yesterday and my vehicle needed servicing so I just decided to take the day off and take care of it all. Hit the snooze button one too many times and woke up late so no shave, just a quick shower and out the door. You know what that means! Today's shave was extra nice! Needed a "spa day" and this is probably about as close as I'll ever get to one. Great lather and scent from the soap. Three passes and I finished with the matching splash (+ skin food) and a spray of Zino Davidoff edT.
Hope you have a great day.

Here’s to your spa day!
It’s funny - until I got this soap - I always thought it was a tip of the hat towards Miami (like the Cuban ham sandwiches) - I don’t know why the Fez didn’t give me a hint
Hoping you have a fantastic day Mark!

Sorry to hear about the stressful week thus far - hoping it turns around for you Mark!
Mark is more of a b-side kinda guy

Thanks guys.
Anyone have Mark's wife's number? She needs to know for Christmas he wants a spa day.
Sometimes it's the more interesting track. I had a LOT of 45's back in the day!
"No, thank you.. I like looking like a walking shag carpet...
Remember this?Sometimes it's the more interesting track. I had a LOT of 45's back in the day!
A Side
I had the 45 back when it was on the radio in 1966 (9 years old). I don't recall what I did with my 45s - may have given them away at some point. Fortunately, I have the A side on a double CD Dr DeMento collection. Without the magic of YouTube, the treasured B side may have been lost to humanity forever.
WOW! There's a blast from the past!!
Another from the collection, also from 1966:
My favorite line from the song:
"141 could shoot better than he, but Irving was looking for 143." My brother has the original 45. The song still cracks me up. The rimshots are great too.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Today I decided to feature a couple from the great Don Henley. He, of course, had great success with The Eagles, but I wanted to feature a couple of his solo hits for today's Morning Music segment. Hope you enjoy.
Wonderful shave this morning! Went back to "Fresh Lime", one of the newer soaps from @CBLSoap.com / @CBLindsay . Crisp refreshing lime coupled with a good kick of cooling menthol! Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with a splash of RazoRock "Evil Eye Lime" After Shave Tonic and a spray of Alexandria Fragrances "Hawaii Volcano" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.

Lime is one of my favorite scents. Lime with menthol? Perfection.
Great songs bringing back awesome memories!
and do I have to say it? Lime rocks!
