Yeah, I read you said you didn't change up the razors so knew you had used the SS. Getting close
Your wallet thanks you, no doubt.
That surprised me too. But that's why I want to go back again to their actual boutique. This setting was a little hinkey and my parents and kids were waiting so I felt pretty rushed.
2018 shave #279 (DE:95 SE:86 Str:95 Cart:3)
Asylum "The Doctor" RX w/ Feather Proguard (3)
Plissoft knot in Shave Revolution handle
A&E The Novelist
Alum
Witch Hazel
Nivea 2 in 1
Louis Vuitton Sur la Route
Had to take my parents to the airport earlier than I normally leave for work, so h
ad a quickie 2 pass shave in the 2nd bathroom. Meh, DFS. Just makes me look forward to the next shave even more. If things stay on track, straight #100 could be this weekend!

100th straight shave coming up?? Nice!
If you try Pen's, Douro de Portugal is my go to!
I believe I got my bottle at fragrance.net and got it at a superb price. Tom Ford also has some lovely scents but some cost a pretty penny. Never hurts to do some talking and get samples though!

Try? I have 7 bottles on my shelf. Haven't tried that one yet though that I can remember. I have learned that places tend to be pretty free with the samples, which surprised me. Good enough for a couple nights of smelling pretty with no expense.
I was so distracted with making sure stuff didn't fall off the sink or the wrong things getting wet, I didn't even think to pay attention to the scent this morning! Maybe I need an afternoon shave.
I'm almost ashamed to admit, I thought about skipping my shave today. But I figured even a half shave is better than none.
Skipping a day once in a while never killed a man.

Sure gave him a prickly face though!
This much is true. And I've been somewhat hopeful of catching up to my 365 shave goal, but now think that's just not going to happen.
I got way behind in your journal because I was only watching/listening to your vids. The content crosses but I still missed a few things, good to be caught up.
I wanted to comment on the cat/dog food thing. A lifetime ago I worked in veterinary medicine, I spent a good amount of time learning the ins and outs of feeds and feeding. Back then the answer was simple, the higher the cost the better the feed PERIOD. Now, cost is an indicator of relative quality but not a way to choose a quality food. Dry or wet, I don't think it matters much, so long as the nutritional needs are met. Discounting blockages (if cats can't pass what they eat they either STOP eating all together or hack) the type of protein or grain in the food is often the culprit. Cats and dogs can suddenly develop allergies or inability to tolerate some of the more traditional feed bases.
An odd side note. We often had dogs and cats with suspected blockages and occasionally used barium to view the digestive track. Almost with out fail doing a barium series resolved the issue (when there wasn't an actual blockage). Give a sick dog a belly full of barium and by the time you are scooping up barium piles with the pooper scooper the poochie felt better.

LOL, one bolus of barium!
Thanks for the feedback, it really is feeling something like a guessing game. Just this morning we started introducing wet food into the diet, so maybe we're on the right track with that for no reason other than changing the food.
