MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

Mark, I'm a little confused about that first video. I'm not sure if it's a representation of the global financial situation with a focus on import vs export and the inequity of trade between countries. Or if someone just released a bunch of bees.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Got a couple from Canadian rockers, Rush for your Tuesday listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy.



Great shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their "Cane" soap & splash. Wonderful powdery / peppermint scent with green notes along with incredibly slick lather built with the Riva Manchurian badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching splash & Burberry "London for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Love this tune. I saw him perform at a college in the earlyish-70s. He sang some of the songs, but didn't tell the story over. He was solo, and seemed to relish it. Entertaining night.
