Good afternoon Cadre!

Late post but early shave. Been a busy day! New soap today. PAA's "The Wow! Signal"... Great scent and the CK-6 base is always stellar. Notes of Osmanthus, Tobacco, Labdanum, Bourbon, Agarwood, and Benzoin Resin. Finished with a splash of "Deep Woods".

LOVING this little brush! Soft and whips up a great lather in no time!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

That could be an issue with an upline DNS server. You can give it a day to refresh, or try a public DNS server like Google on your desktop to test it. If using the Google DNS server makes your desktop load normally, but the problem remains on other devices, then that would point even more strongly to the problem being the service provider's DNS server. It depends on how comfortable you are fiddling with your machine's network settings. If you're not comfortable, I'd say wait it out for a day, and then try your service provider's support line. Be prepared to wait.

You hepcats and all your fancy lingo! ;)😁

Good idea. I’ll see if there’s a difference tomorrow and if not I’ll call the company’s IT guy and get him to investigate further.

Me, I’m a hardware guy. All that IP DNS stuff of Greek to me. LOL! 😵

I was going to say pretty much the same thing but I was going to use different words, like ...”power down, wait 10 seconds and power back up. Clear your cache and log back in”. Ok that’s not the exact same thing but it’s what the tech guy would say.
We did have a very unrelated issue with email servers this morning, I wouldn’t put it past the host to have had other transient issues.

Oh man, what a great day. This is the kind of day that makes me look forward to retirement! I'm eligible in five years!

Sorry for the late post. Been busy today but wanted to get it in before I'm nodding off in my recliner. LOL!

Today's shave brought to you by Stirling Soap Co.... Island Man with its notes of bergamot, lime, mandarin, coconut, jasmine, hibiscus, ylang-ylang, ginger, sugarcane, musk, and rum was perfect for a day like today! Went with it all; soap, splash and EdT. My wife loves the sent!

Hope everyone weekend is going great!

Good afternoon Cadre!

Two-and-a-half hours into the first three of the 3-2-1 method (for ribs) so I thought I'd post up my SOTD.

Coconut + Bay Rum + Lime = One damn fine shave! Another great scent. The wife loves it. So, if you get the wife's seal of approval, you know it's good!

Hope everyone's have a great holiday!

Good morning Cadre!

Unnnnnn.. Back to the grind stone... Weekends like this past one make me look forward to retirement!

Today's "Morning Music" features The Rippingtons track "Aspen" from their 1992 album Live in LA, with mullets galore!


Hope everyone has a great day!!
