Brah! What are you doing? You can't just drop a bomb like that and walk!

Someone didn't play TMI Trivia.

I love QED. I’ve been nursing a rose-scented shave stick for a decade now.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you a pleasant evening.

I'm "bluesing" it up today here at WMRK Internet Radio (All Hits, All The Time®) with a couple from five-time Grammy Award winning singer / songwriter / guitarist Kevin Roosevelt Moore, colloquially known as "Keb' Mo'". Hope you enjoy!

Great shave on which to end the workweek. Went back to Wholly Kaw and their Spring-time winner, "Chypre Rose Concerto". Great scent with earthy rose / floral notes atop a nice, deep, woody green base. Super slick, cushioning lather built with the Badlands Shaving "409 Purple & Royal Amboyna Burl" ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Czech & Speake "No.88" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Let's get some tunes rolling this Monday with a couple from Canadian rocker, Loverboy. Hope you enjoy!

Fantastic shave this morning. Decided to return to @CBLindsay and his wonderful "Hombres Barber Shop" for an olfactory trip out west. Great lather built with the RazoRock "Chubby" ST for two passes (+ touch-up) with the 70's Black Beauty and I finished with the matching after shave tonic and a Stetson cologne.

Hope you have a great day.

Fun tunes from my college days! I love your Way Back Machine.

Loverboy was my sister's "Teen Beat/Tiger Beat" heartthrob band. She plastered her walls with pictures of the band, and of Mike Reno. Her room was directly across the hall from mine, so I heard them through two walls - the kick and Bass GTR parts are what I know best. I played guest keyboards on Turn Me Loose for an ad hoc High School Talent Show band. It was very exciting, because I got to debut my new DX7, and I got to do the sustain-portamento intro, which is a keyboard spotlight. Time has not been kind to Mr. Reno. Thanks for this choice. It sent me on a little memory rude.

Hello Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A couple from the band from a "land down under", Men at Work. Hope you enjoy.

Great (albeit rushed) shave this morning. Hit the snooze button more than normal this morning.

Went back to Stirling and their excellent "Bay Rum" shave soap. Wonderful scent and lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of Barberry Coast "No.28 Bay Rum Aftershave" and several sprays of Hemingway Accoutrements "Nature Isle" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.

Men At Work was the first band I liked from their first single. So this is a great way to start the day. Oh....and if you ever get a chance to see Colin Hay (the lead singer) live....its so worth it. He tells stories between songs. and puts on a great show. He still has that voice.

 

[GearNoir]

Hope the day treats you well good buddy!
