Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Gettin' all soulful and romantic here at WMRK Internet Radio ("All Hits All The Time"®) with a couple from the inimitable Barry White. Hope you enjoy.
Budget-friendly shave today and it was stellar! Went with RazoRock's "Lime" triple-milled shave soap. Great scent strength off the puck and when lathered. The lather quality was excellent as well, built with the Semogue SOC Premium Boar brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 and I finished with some RazoRock "Essential Oil of Lime" after shave splash and Clubman "Citrus Musk" EdC.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's finally Friday and today I'm closing out the week with a couple of more Motown bangers from the 60's. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. New soap day with the Grooming Dept. "Chypre D'Ananas". Great scent with a huge pineapple blast right off the top. Grapefruit slides in just under that with cedar and oakmoss playing more supporting roles. Excellent lather built with the Shavemac 120 ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the 60's "Psycho Tech" and I finished with Myrsol "Agua De Limon" after shave splash and Paco Rabanne "1 Million" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

I got pregnant half-way through the 2nd song.
I've had a vasectomy - I can't get pregnant.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A couple from Synthwave artist Sunglasses Kid for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning! Went back Hendrix Classic & Co. and their excellent "Citrus Bomb" soap and splash set. Aptly named as this stuff is intense with wonderful notes of grapefruit, orange and other citruses exploding out of the tub. Wonderful lather as well, built with the Rich Man Shaving brush. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash. No frag needed with this stuff. It's that strong!
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Let's get some "Tuesday" tunes going this morning with a pair of songs from a couple of Rock & Roll legends. Hope you enjoy!
Man, superbly satisfying shave this morning! Sometimes the basics are the best. Went back to Proraso cream and splash on this hot, hazy & humid Tuesday and it was exactly what I needed. Fantastic lather built with the new Riva Manchurian ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Phoenix Shaving "META-4" and I finished with the matching splash and a spray Versace Man "Eau Fraiche" EdT.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
