Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

It's Monday and I'm definitely feeling it this morning.

So, let's ease into the new workweek with some easy jazz. Hope you enjoy.


Great shave this morning. It's nice jumping back into the warmer Autumn scents. Kinda like wrapping up in a warm blankie. 😌 Great lather and scent for the Oz Shaving "40 Crows". Warm amber with hints of oakmoss, fruit and patchouli. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Clubman Pinaud Reserve "Cognac Neat" and a spray of Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur. Wonderful!

I would enjoy this more if I had a nap couch in my office.

Could just keep a roll out foam pad and blankie in the office for just such an occasion. Get a stash of milk and cookies, and you’re good!
I supposed technically that would work. Just doesn't have that same Mad Men vibe.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Featuring one of the biggest bands of the 80's for today's music. Actually got to see them live on their "Hysteria" tour. Here is Def Leppard. Hope you enjoy!


Fantastic shave this morning. Broke out Noble Otter's "Thé Noir et Vanille". Been a while since I had last used it and wanted to take care of that. Excellent lather and scent. Three passes with the Tech and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Viktor & Rolf "Spicebomb" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's Women of Rock Wednesday and today I'm featuring Siouxsie Sioux and her band Siouxsie and the Banshees. Hope you enjoy!




Great shave this morning. Went with Southern Witchcrafts "Tres Matres", an olfactory homage to the Argento movie "Suspiria". Warm amber and fruity top with atop a dry, earthy base. Three passes with the Tech and I finished with a splash of Skin Bracer "Cool Spice" after shave (+ skin food) and a spray of "Lagerfeld Classic".

Hope you have a great day. :)
