Ramblings of a MilkCrate

As I mentioned before, my brother took the other rescue dog and they are doing well. She has a lot of energy at age 2 and she likes to take longer walks than my brother. So that will do him some good.

The Deets-
I hadn’t put much thought into seasonal scents before, but decided to go with something light today. The CRSW Oliva is a light scent and the base whips up a really nice lather. I am also trying out this Shavemac brush that I picked up in trade. The brush is a 22mm so it runs on the smaller size, but it’s in my wheelhouse. I had washed it in Dawn soap with a hand lather when I got it and there was a bit of scritch. Today with a soak for a couple of minutes, no scritch at all. The tips are soft and it has good backbone too. I think this brush will be an excellent addition to the rotation.

20 laps on linen and 40 on Horsehide and I was ready for business. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a nice shave and the soap had plenty of slickness. I do think I catch the scent of olives when I use this … hm. No issues with the shave, but I missed a bit on my throat, so we’ll call it a DFS for the win!

A quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. You know it. I am digging this Lavender splash as well. It’s going to be a great day. Life is good!

A very nice early morning shave. I was a bit pressed for time and went with a DE this morning. I chose the Nag Champa just for the scent. Great shave, BBS and ready for the day. Life is good!

Home Front-
So … the wife tells me this new pup is part Doxie and part Beagle. What!? I am beginning to think this girl is part alligator and part flying squirrel. Typical pup chewing on everything she is not supposed to. And she has toys, but … but … hm. We also have a few baby gates up to keep the dogs out of certain areas. This dog can jump up, get her front paws on the top and over she goes. Did I mention that she is as fast as greased lightning? Ah … the joys of puppyhood.
