Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A couple today from American guitarist / composer, Greg Howe. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. Returned to my vintage Shulton "Old Spice" shave soap. Great old school scent with incredible lather built with the Simpson "Commodore" X3 best badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Fatboy and I finished with Shulton Old Spice "Fresh Lime" & Creed "Erolfa" EdP.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Some beneficial rain, along with and a much welcomed reprieve from the heat and humidity, is coming this week. And when I say "much needed", I mean it. We haven't had any appreciable rainfall since early June.
Hope you have a great day.

bluesy for sho
What, you don’t have a blue brush?!
