Good morning Cadre! Hope you pleasant evening.

Keeping it soulful and funky this morning here at WMRK Internet Radio (All Hits All The Time®). And if I have to tell you about this guy, well.... I don't think we can be friends anymore..



Great shave this morning and featuring a little "Unobtanium" as well. Light scent but great lather from the QED Essentials "Sandalwood" shave soap built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Super Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of H.ZONE Professional "Essential Man No. 1930" after shave tonic and a thorough dousinf of Chanel "Chanel Pour Monsieur" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

I love it when a Chubby 2 Super pops up! It sold me on the Simpson state of mind. Very nice setup!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you a pleasant evening.

It's "Women of Rock Wednesday" here at WMRK Internet Radio (All Hits All The Time®) and I'm featuring a local band this week. Hailing from Athens, AL and led by the incredible Brittany Howard, here are Alabama Shakes. Hope you enjoy.



Great shave this morning. Went back to the Pasteur Pharmacy / Wholly Kaw collaboration "Timmermann Red Label". Great scent with a strong boozy, vanilla and tobacco kick along with woody and powdery notes. The Siero base provided a super slick, cushioning lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" "Sweet Spot" ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Creed "Tabarome" EdP which complements the scent of the soap & splash perfectly.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you a pleasant evening.

Featuring the band today that I almost featured yesterday. Out of Worcester, MA, with a couple of hits from their 1982 chart-topping album Freeze Frame, here is The J. Geils Band. Hope you enjoy.



The new brush from Riva Brushes arrived yesterday so I, of course, had to take it for a spin this morning. Turned into another "In Praise of Italy" shave. Went back to RazoRock and their excellent P.160 tallow shave soap. Excellent lather produced by the brush! Thick, slick and very cushioning. Two passes with the 70's Gillette "Black Beauty" Super Adjustable 84 (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of Proraso Green AS and several sprays of Versace "Eros" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

The song Centerfold takes on a real world meaning for me....but not entirely in the way that they mean it.
