Feeling bad for the OREM because people keep mistaking the Vector is better *cough* @Patelliott *cough*. Got just a lovely shave this morning. Until I forgot the Mr Pepper AS has menthol in it and started getting that burn.

I keep forgetting to bring more coffee to work :(
 
I love my OREN and the shave shave was slightly less as good as the Vector. Which is pretty good for a razor that cost me less than a quarter of what I paid for the Vector! Maybe I need to try a different blade in it.

Nah, just messing with ya. Everyone else seems to side with the Vector. I like the uniqueness of the OREN and to me the shaves are at least equal.

I dunno, WMRK is supposed to be playing bass focused music this morning and I'm getting a lot of keyboard and piano. Must be a new guy running the boards over there.

Straight forward and beautiful shave. Been nailing the neck recently with the SS so that's been enjoyable.

Had some orientation calls for my school this week. One for my daughter's school tonight. Then it all comes to a head next week. Got an email from the wine school I attended yesterday with some interesting short course offerings from home. I had some gift card money left over from my certification and signed my wife and myself up for a class about new Napa AVAs in September. It's zoom based, but you go pick-up your wine samples at the school. Should be fun.

Ironic as it may seem, I find most "solo bass" music boring. I'd rather listen to a great ensemble composition, written by a bassist than some guy slapping, popping and plucking for five minutes. ;)

Same here. Like a drum solo, a little goes a long way.

Nice!
 
Ugh...orientations!

Sounds like a fun class Dave! Shame it couldn’t have been a whiskey one...

Who has two thumbs and got a great shave? Well, probably most of the cadre, but me too! As Gear pointed out it's going to be a hot one this weekend. And unlike the usual fashion, it's supposed to be hot at our house too instead of just over in the land of the non chip eaters. So I figured a nice citrus would be a good call for the day.

Other than feeling like I don't want to move at all, this weekend should be alright. A trip tomorrow up to what the guy on the phone said is "the best whisky store in the US and maybe the western hemisphere". Then a whisky zoom call in the evening. Cadre zoom on Sunday with some early school reading thrown into the mix.
