MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

[MarkB]

Good morning everyone! TGIF!

Back to the barbershop theme again. Today I went with the PAA "Good Vibrations" soap an splash. Nice powdery / bay rum scent with some woodiness. Also used my new razor my wife got me for my birthday (didn't arrive until yesterday). Another Slim Adjustable with case and blade pack.

Sweet razor! The soap and scent sound good too...even though I am not huge on overly powdery scents. Hope your case of the Mondays/Thursdays have subsided!

LOL! Yeah, I finally got back on track.

Nice old school looking setup! Nice gift!

Does anyone have recommendations for a replating service? Thinking about getting my Slims restored.

Honest Abe says that Avon “Tai Winds” aftershave is some good stuff! That soap ain’t bad either. Have a great day everyone!!

I like that decanter! Is it glass?

It is indeed! Abe’s head covers the cap and it’s made of plastic but the rest is glass. I have a Benjamin Franklin decanter filled with Tai Winds also.

Bout to watch that Peach Bowl and eager to see no. 9 Joe Burreaux play out of his mind!! I’m a die hard Alabama fan but today the only thing I can say is....

GO TIGERS!!!​

What're your thoughts on Saguesera? It has my attention but I'm really hesitating to grab a set because I'm trying to cut back.

I really like it. Great performance. Scent is nice. A little on the light side. Don’t think I’ll be ordering the splash.

Nice! Tai Winds is some good stuff, and I also love the decanter.

Home from work sick again today. Was finally able to get in to see my doctor yesterday and went home with antibiotics, steroids and cough syrup. Honestly, I think the only thing that has kept me out of the hospital is that my wife has a nebulizer for asthma and still had some medication left. Feeling much better but decided to stay home to rest. Coffee and a good shave helps too!

Nice shave! Get that rest good sir! We need you up and partying for the new year!

 

[MarkB]

Thanks Chris! Think I'll be staying in tonight though..

 

[Dave in KY]

Glad you're feeling some better. Just got started on a nebulizer myself. If I could just remember to do it every day. Taking awhile to get it in the routine. Keep healing up Mark !

 

[MarkB]

Thanks Dave.

 

[bentheduck]

Thanks for reminding me that I have Cold Spices hidden in a corner under my sink! And I hope you heal up soon, Mark!
