A relaxing late morning shave and it was very nice. I decided to go with the SV today and it was the right call too. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! I really dig this soap and scent, it is a definite keeper. And when I asked the missus for a sniff test, I got neck kisses. So I’m thinking she likes it too. That was the reason I used this set … just for her.

Home Front-
The tiny terror is doing very well with her potty training. But we have some work to do on chewing. No, not one of the grandkids … but the new dog. Our bed has some small wooden support legs underneath it and I found that the terror had carried one off to the big dog pillow. Not sure how she ripped that off there, but she did. Other than that, we had some errands today. Those are done and now making dinner plans. Life is good!

Late morning shave today and it was nice. Decided to go with Porthos and will try to stick with this setup all week. This scent fell into the “like” category, so it should be around for a bit. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Oh yeah, Monday here I come. Life is good!

Home Front-
Here is some of today’s not pet approved chewing materials.

Opps … I forgot I was going to use PAA this week, my bad. Anyway, had a very nice lunchtime shave … just because. Three passes and I walked away BBS for the win!

Home Front-
So another day in the joys of pet parenting. Looks like less damage today. Two of the grandkids toys and one stuffed animal of the missus found their way to the dog pillow. The stuffed animal was rescued without incident. My sneakers were assaulted and there is extensive shoestring damage to one shoe. One a positive note, the potty training is going very well … knock on wood. And I think that’s all I have for you today. Life is good!
