Oh man! Glad you’re recovering. Did that happen with the other shots too?

No. The others weren't nearly as bad.

"Pick Your Own Music Monday" ... Kewl!!

I'm choosing a super hip podcast for my workout! It has intro/outro music, so it qualifies!

Today's topic is super sexy hot!

See what happens when you let us run around unchaperoned, Mark!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A couple from the late, great Marvin Gaye this morning. Hope you enjoy.

Another great shave this morning. Went with Noble Otter's "Two Kings" soap and splash. Wonderful scent and great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Canyon" ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching after shave splash & Mont Blanc "Presence" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's "Women of Rocktober Wednesday" and today I'm offering up a couple from Little Rock AR band, Evanescence. Hope you enjoy.

Another great shave to get the day started. Returned to Proraso and their "Nourishing" (aka Red) shave cream and AS. Wonderful scent and incredibly slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Mamba 70 and I finished with the matching splash & Arden Men "Sandalwood" EdC.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

To help kick off the day with a coffee and a shave, I'm surprised you didn't go with this great song of theirs ....

Mark is more of a B-side kinda guy.

I could have posted several more songs from them. But after @BarberDave slapped a limit on these type posts, I wanted to keep some slots open for more songs posts during the day.. You know how Dave is...

LOL. Let us remember that was due to an over exuberance of yours guys causing our server to crash.

Excellent lather from the CK-6 base built with the Rich Man Shaving ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching after shave splash.

Good subject for today! Seems the hype over those extra terrestrial hearings months ago has faded away been forgotten about. These government folks confirmed things verbally…have they released any photos or video since?
