The Deets-
Thought I would do a sample today. I had picked up the soap sample awhile back, but just hadn’t tried it yet. And yesterday I scored the matching aftershave sample … so, had to try it. I bowl lathered a bit, which I don’t typically do and man the lather just exploded in the bowl. A lot of nice, slick, wet lather was made. To my nose the scent is rather light, but that could just be my nose. Great three pass shave and I am BBS for the win! The aftershave sample is also lightly scented and does a bang up job. Great post shave feel. Life is good!

Home Front-
Mostly a chill day today, the yard was mowed on Thursday. I have had to work off and on a little this week and that sucked. But Saturday is here and I am enjoying it. Turbo has been well behaved lately and that’s a relief. The missus appears to have picked up a Summer cold within the last couple of days. It’s been a rough Summer for her. And I guess lastly, I have been trying acupuncture. No, not on myself, but I am the one being stuck. Anyway, interesting stuff.

Post shave lather

The Deets-
I grabbed the Slim today … just because. And I went with samples again too. The MDC was nice, faint but nice. It whipped up a really nice lather with minimal product. Had an easy three pass shave, leaving me BBS for the win! Chased that with the aftershave and I can definitely smell this one. Nice, very nice! I am really digging the SV aftershaves. Not only for the scents, but the post shave feel. Life is good!

Very nice shave to start the day. I was lazy and used a DE again, but it delivered. I am glad to be back on the puck again, I’m not a big bowl lather fan. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!

Home Front-
Jumped back into the rip tide that is my job. Got a few things knocked out and a few things lined up for later this week. Also got my boss to let me take off two hours early, I am physically exhausted. And did I mention that my wife gave me her summer cold? Grrrrrrrrr. Started with a sore throat last night and full blown kick my backside today.
