Hello Cadre! Hope you have a great weekend.
I just realized that I missed "Women of Rock Wednesday" last week so I'll take care of that today. I'm diving DEEP into the "Realms of the Obscure" with a couple of songs from an artist that I've been following for years. Sadly, she has never got the attention she deserved. Her name is Lana Lane. Hope you enjoy!
Great shave this morning. Skipped yesterday to give my face a rest after the awful shave I had Saturday. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Irish Springs" for some spicy-green goodness. Exceptionally thick and slick lather whipped up with the Chubby 2 for two passes (+ touch-up) with the "Mystery Personna" SE (I still have no idea either where this razor came from or how long I've had it) and I finished with the matching splash and Davidoff "Cool Water" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

I know right? Since he is of the gentler persuasion - he should send the soap to me - I will make sure it is taken care of.
With a name like that - it rolls off the tongue - that alone should have made her a star. Maybe Lois gets all the credit (plus her boyfriend kinda overshadows everyone).
Great shave my brother - have a fantastic day!
If you want it, it's yours!
Hey my brother - if you want to part with it. I shall bear that burden - I just PayPal’d you some cash for shipping.
I know it is hard to part with citrus though.
Love the Mystery Razor. My father had a Personna injector, but I don't remember it looking like that. Never paid much attention back then in my pre-whiskers stage.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
After the posts in @Graybeard57 thread yesterday, I had to feature Hall & Oates for today's Morning Music! Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. Went with a Platinum Égoïste theme for today's shave. The scent of the soap is literally spot-on but the lather isn't as nice as I'd prefer. It was nice and provided enough slip for the shave but seemed to not be as dense as I prefer. Gonna experiment with it a little more. Think I'll use a badger next time and see if things improve. Two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with Chanel "Platinum Égoïste" after shave and EdT.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

I would have been happy to have you be the office DJ. Your music tastes are broad and eclectic, guaranteeing we would have enjoyed a wide variety of quality music (a little heavy on the prog rock, IMHO).My coworkers listen to great music all day... Whether they want to or not.
Enjoy your shaves, and your music.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Women of Rock Wednesday" here at WMRK Internet Radio (All Hits, All The Time 0174®) and today I'm featuring a couple from the incredible Delores O'Riordan and her band The Cranberries. This band (for me) was one of the highlights of the 90's and I was shocked when I heard of her passing in 2018. Hope you enjoy.
I was in dire need of a citrus fix this morning so for today's shave I grabbed the tub of ( @Scuttlesoap approved) TOBS "Grapefruit" shave cream. The PAA "Atomic Rocket" whipped up a thick and slick lather for two passes (+ touch-up) with the 40's Aristocrat and I finished with a splash of RazoRock "Evil Eye Lime" after shave tonic and a spray of Creed "Erolfa" EdP.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
