MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

Nice Friday morning shave Mark! Hope it’s a good wrap up to the work week for you today!

Sadly, WMRK was obviously bought out by one of those big media corporations that switched all the programming to set playlists

Sorry... Some days I don't have the time to cherry pick individual play lists.

So far it is, Chris.. With the exception of @NurseDave .. When I don't have music, he complains... When I do have music, he complains..

I don't know what to do... Some people just can't be pleased I suppose...

At times like these I simply say to myself...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend!!

So, there were some "boos" from the gallery last week over my programming choices ( ), so today here are a few from the great ZZ Top! And if @NurseDave doesn't like it, he can go suck a lemon.

Great shave today! Of course I don't need to tell you peeps how good Frank's wares are. Great soap, great lather, great scent and wonderful post-shave face feel! "10"s all around!

Finished with a spray of Mont Blanc "Explorer". Great start to the work week!

Hope you have a great day!

ZZ Top! "Oh Lord, take me downtown..." Great tunes, and they had some terrific videos, too.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Brrrrrrr!! Wind chills hovering around the 18° mark hereabouts this morning. I feel like Mr. Rogers in that I wear one coat to work and when I get to the office I take it off and put on another (lighter) fleece jacket. There;'s an external metal security door in my office and it's like working inside a cooler.

Let's get some music going this morning. Picked this album up yesterday and have really been enjoying it. This guy's become one of my favorite guitarists. Hope you enjoy.

Great shave today! First time using the Fine shaving cream. Nice lather and it smelled great but I prefer the soaps personally. Finished with the matching splash (with added skin food) and EdT. Fantastic!

Hope you have a great day!

First time using the Fine shaving cream. Nice lather and it smelled great but I prefer the soaps personally.

I generally prefer soaps to creams. Since I started bowl lathering maybe I should revisit it. Was tempted the other day at Target, where I saw some Cremo creams, but I have so many soaps I simply cannot justify it.

Have a great day, Mark.

That's actually closer to my reaction when I found out.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

In a Michael Jackson mood this morning so for today's Morning Music segment, here is the King of Pop! Hope you enjoy!

Great shave today! Really like the Soap Commander soaps and the fact that they're local is a bonus! Always good to support the local guys/shops. Great "Old Spice" scent! Fantastic!

Hope you have a great day!

One more song this morning. This one always brings to mind school dances back in the day!
