Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Rocking out to The Ramones this morning. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. New soap day with the arrival of First Line Shave's new soap and splash set, "53rd & 3rd". Been a longtime fan of Anthony Bourdain and his shows (No Reservations & Parts Unknown), and especially a fan of his irreverent, cynical & snarky attitude toward most modern day culture. So when I saw FLS was coming out with an homage soap/splash set to him, I had to get it. Very nice scent with great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Canyon" ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with the matching after shave splash.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Women of Rock Wednesday" and today I'm going with a couple of cuts featuring a musician who has over 10,000 recording credits to her name. Multi instrumentalist, Carol Kaye. Hope you enjoy.
I almost did a repeat of yesterday's shave this morning because it was so nice. But, I instead decided to go with ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Bergamotto" soap and splash set. Wonderful cool, fresh, citrus-green scent with excellent lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Karve Christopher Bradley razor and I finished with the matching skin food splash and Tom Ford "Neroli Portofino" EdP.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A couple from Danny Elfman & Co. Oingo Boingo today. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. My order of Phoenix Shaving's new "Bay Gum" soap and splash set arrived yesterday so I used it this morning. Very nice fruity, sweet bay rum scent with incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with the after shave splash.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A couple from English rockers, The Psychedelic Furs this morning. Hope you enjoy.
Rushed but extremely nice shave this morning. The time change really hit me this morning. Wish we could just stick with one. I don't care which. DST or Standard time.. Pick one! Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's wonderful "Nuage De Citron" soap and splash. Wonderfully bright, tart citrus scent with excellent lather built with the Rich Yuengel "Voodoo King" HMW badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with the matching skin food splash and Caron "Le 3e Homme de Caron" EdT.
