The Deets-
Well, the WSP was sidelined for just a bit. I was asked to test and review a homemade Bay Rum. The presentation is nice, with the custom label and all. I’ll reserve a public review for another time, but I will say it smells good. The H Diamond gave me a couple of love nibbles, probably because she hasn’t been on deck in a while. The JNat edge is still going strong and it’s deceptively sharp. Life is good!

Nice lookin setup today Tim! Fancy schmancy!

The Deets-
TGITHMF! You read that right I got Friday off, thank goodness. I thought I would ease into the day and the weekend with a bit of Lavender. As I mentioned earlier in the week, the Clarus was scored in a PIF. I haven’t tried a soap from Grooming Department yet, so it was a nice change up. Man, great shaves this week. Life is good!

 

[GearNoir]

Long weekend! Woohoo!

 

[MilkCrate]

Long weekend! Woohoo!

I am so ready brother.

Got several errands done yesterday and that lined up some things for next week. Today the missus wanted a new kitchen faucet so, knocked that out and then got my late morning shave on. Going to see my mom and stepdad today, so I broke out the good stuff. Life is good!

 

[GearNoir]

Good stuff Tim! Go with anything fancy for the faucet? Or just a normal-ish one?

Debbie said normal faucet for this house and fancy for the next house.
