MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

[MarkB]

I'm going a little more chill this morning, with oldie pop.

Nut'n wrong with that!

My very favorite Stevie Wonder song. It still gives me chills. To fully appreciate this song, earbuds are a must. @GearNoir , have you heard this? 1974 or '75.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

Well, thanks to @Granite.Glasser I'm in a Depeche Mode mood this morning. So here are a couple to get your morning kicked off. Hope you enjoy!

Haven't used Floris №89 EdT in a long time and something about Phoenix Shaving's "Strange Island" always reminded me of it so I decided to pair the two this morning. Very complementary scents. The lavender ties them together nicely. Again, effortless BBS with the DOC razor.

Hope you have a great day!

Gillette Silver Blue / Alum / PAA "Strange Island" Aftershave Splash / Floris №89 EdT

Going along with the soap theme this morning, here's some Pink Floyd for today's "Morning Music" segment.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

It's "Fusion Friday" here at WMRK Internet Radio so let's close out the week with some Spyro Gyra!

The Rockwell 6S arrived yesterday but I still had one shave left on the blade in the DOC so I'll take the Rockwell for a spin tomorrow. Great shave today! Nice way to close out the week.

Hope you have a great day!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

A definite taste of Fall in the air today! 58° this morning and it feel wonderful. Getting up into the 70's later on. This is the weather I like!

Digging deep for today's "Morning Music"! Here are a couple of deep cuts from 1979. Again, I love music from this era.. During the dying days of Disco and before 80's music drowned in synthesizers. Hope you enjoy!!

Another great shave from the Rockwell this morning! I observed "No Shave Sunday" so there was two day's growth. The 6S mowed through it with no problems. Two passes and a touch-up = BBS shave! Finished with a spray of GFT "Spanish Leather" which went really well with the "Diver Down" scent.

Hope you have a great day!

These days they call that music Yacht Rock. I love it. SiriusXM has a whole channel devoted to it.

Nice shave n tunes Mark! Sounds like the 6S is a winner for ya!

Thanks, Chris! It's a great shaver, no doubt. However, I think my favorite of the three I recently acquired (Rockwell, Phoenix Shaving & RR Game Changer) is the RazoRock Game Changer.


Of course that can always change.

Good morning Cadre and Happy Autumnal Equinox!! Hope you had a pleasant night.

For my "Brother From Another Mother" @fhalden I'm sailing on with the "Yacht Rock" theme for today's "Morning Music" segment. So kick back, watch the sunshine glisten off the waves, have some Cuervo Gold or maybe even some fine Colombian!

Hope you enjoy!

Great shave today! I've thoroughly enjoyed the shaves I've gotten with the 6S. Right now it and the Rockwell Game Changer are tied as best shaver I have at the moment. Moving back to the latter tomorrow.

Hope you have a great day!!
