Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Going with a classic today from the Prince of Darkness himself! Hope you enjoy.

"Best Shave of the Week" candidate this morning! Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's "Indochanté" soap, splash & EdP. A wonderfully sublime scent with an incredible lather built with the Sorrentino synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and the matching skin food splash & EdP.

BBS bliss!!

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: It's Thursday... Almost there!

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Closing out the workweek with this classic from Deep Purple. Hope you enjoy.

Another "Best Shave of the Week" candidate this morning! Returned to my Valobra-era TAOS unscented shave soap. One of the best lather producers out there. Such a shame these soaps have been discontinued. Three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and Murray & Lanman Peruvian Florida Water.

BBS bliss!!

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Great practice with the band last night. Prepping for a show on the 23rd. Gonna hit the 90's today and through the weekend hence the warm weather friendly scenrts.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a nostalgic cut from FM-84. Hope you enjoy.

Late post but a great shave to start the day. Returned to my vintage Shulton "Old Spice" suite of products. Fantastic Old School scent with incredible lather built with the Semogue for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave lotion & EdC.

BBS bliss!!

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Morning band practice in preparation for our show next weekend. Meeting some friends for dinner later.

Hope you have a great day.
