Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Closing out the workweek with a classic from Judas Priest. Hope you enjoy.
Wonderful shave with which to close out the work week! Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's phenomenal "Dragonsbeard" suite of products. An incredible scent with a phenomenal lather built with the Rich Yuen synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & the matching skin food splash & EdP. Zero feedback from the alum.
BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Chilly this morning. Temps back down into the 30's waking up. Finally getting adjusted to the time change. Been rough though. The older I get the more I hate it!
Hope you have a great day.

I'm sure there's another alternative to wearing a coat than "move to the surface of the sun"
Wish I could. The wife wants to move to a place that gets MORE snow.. Flagstaff has been known to get snow, right? Is cannabis legal in Arizona? That'd be the only way I could handle colder weather..
Yep, there’s a number of places that get snow. Usually we get it twice a year, but it melts within minutes but Flagstaff Payson Showlow Pinetop quite a number areas are very, very temperate and beautiful as well. Not to mention there is a huge MUFON contingent here in fact, I think at one time it was a national headquartersAnd yes, cannabis is legal. How do you think I put up with? @NurseDave
You pipe down there blow torch boy
This explains a lot.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a playlist for all you cyberpunks. Hope you enjoy.
Late post but a great shave to start the day. Nothing exciting about today's shave, just a collection of great products which together provided excellent results. Great scent and lather from the Stirling "Executive Man" shave soap, built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & vintage Avon "Öland" aftershave splash. Zero feedback from the alum.
BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Not a lot to report. Another sunny, warm day. Storms moving in tomorrow.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Seems winter's not completely done with us yet so here's some snowy ambience for you. Hope you enjoy.
Another great shave this morning. Can't remember the last time I used MWF so I decided to remedy that today. Great scent and lather built with the S. Tinker Brushworks synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Aqua Velva "Original Sport" aftershave lotion.
BBS bliss!!
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Near 80° today, storms tonight, and possibly snow tomorrow... Go home Mother Nature, you're drunk!
