We may be in the minority here, but I concur. Asia was a good band with serious chops, as you musicians like to say.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
In a Pink Floyd mood this morning so I'm featuring what is my favorite Floyd album, Wish You Were Here. Hope you enjoy.
MUCH better shave this morning. I almost skipped today to let my face recover, but decided to go ahead with a shave. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Aloha SmackDown". This soap is an instant trip down memory lane if you enjoyed Hawaiian Punch as a kid. Great lather for three passes and a DFS+ result and I finished with the matching splash (+ skin food) and a spray of Etat Libre d'Orange "Cologne".
Hope you have a great day.

It has been SO long since I've had Hawaiian Punch I'm not sure what to picture in terms of scent - sounds like a fun set though!
This shave is Aidan approved! This is one of his favs! I did not, however, teach him yet to say, āHey, how ābout a nice Hawaiian Punchā - because heās bigger than me now

I think these days Iād have to water it down with an equal amount of water. Or vodka
! So is POG juice!
I LOVED it well into adulthood. I swear there's more sugar than water, though the label claims otherwise.
Well, ummm....I got nuthin'. That sounds like it sucks.
Glad it's over with for you, Mark.
Fingers crossed that this takes care of the pain for a long, long time!

Hoping the injections provide the much needed relief Mark!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
In a Michael Jackson mood this morning. Critics are split between Off The Wall and Thriller on which is Jackson's bast album. However, it can't be denied that Off The Wall was the when Michael found "his sound", blending funk, pop and disco into something completely different from his previous four solo releases. Personally, I'm more partial to Off The Wall, but there are definitely some great cuts on Thriller, so I'll feature a couple from both albums! Hope you enjoy!
Fantastic shave today! Went back to "The Beach" from Phoenix Shaving. Great summery scent and incredibly slick lather. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Clubman "Tequila Tease" (+ skin food) and a spray of Creed's "Virgin Island Water".
Hope you have a great day.

PAA has great artwork on their soaps. I don't quite understand the astronaut on the beach with the sinking ship? 
Yeah, I don't get it either...PAA has great artwork on their soaps. I don't quite understand the astronaut on the beach with the sinking ship?
