Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 503 SE: 9 SR: 796)

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller Notovan
Scuttle: none
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Black Diamond SR
Blade: none
Brush: Knothead / WhippedDog Boar
Soap: Stirling Executive Man

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Stirling Executive Man

The Shave-
I switched it up a bit yesterday and this has been my last two shaves. And the shaves have gotten better and better this week. A very smooth three passes and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!

Home Front-
So, I may have mentioned that I picked up my wife’s Summer cold. I started feeling it Sunday and it hit me hard on Monday. And it got progressively worse as the week moved on. Shaves Monday-Wednesday were just going through the motions because I hate stubble. The wife abandoned me Tuesday and left me to suffer alone and possibly die from starvation. Her daughter had a major surgery and will be down for six weeks. You read that right, me and the dogs may be doomed being on our own for six weeks. Yesterday I felt a little less miserable. Today I felt a whole lot better and had a great shave. I hadn’t eaten much the last few days, but dinner tonight was a treat. I called in an order for Thai Curry. OMG … that was delish, I may survive after all.

Thai Curry cures all.
Better than injecting bleach.

Brush: ShaveMac Badger
Soap: PAA Porthos

The Deets-
Day 3 of our abandonment. The dogs have been restless … JK.

TGIF! Man I was so ready for today and I really do hate wishing my life away. But I am ready for the weekend. Had a great shave today. I had used Stirling all week, but was looking for another scent to really put this week in its place. Yes, Porthos will do nicely. I really dig this scent.

I cranked up a really nice lather with the ShaveMac and got down to business. Three relaxing passes later and I am BBS for the win! Chased that with a heavy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yes it was. I am so “that guy” today. Hope the dogs don’t mind. Life is good!

Home Front-
Yesterday I had a new internet service installed that should up my bandwidth. When they came to install, they said they don’t fish wires for inside walls. They just drill through the exterior wall and install the router. I think the dude had just missed too many meetings at Cupcakes Anonymous. The router is in my garage at the moment. Anyway, I talked him into leaving me enough coax to run my wiring where I want it and he gave me several connectors to get it done. I already have the crimping pliers, so that’s on deck for the weekend.

About these dogs. So the dogs have been out of sorts with the missus gone, I get it. And they were good yesterday, so I thought I would give them a “high value” treat. They don’t know the reason, just a little “thank you” from me. These things look like little Slim Jim sticks and I’m not sure if they are high value, but the dogs were excited. I need to go and look at the bag and make sure they are not called “Cleanse-O-Stick. OMG … these Doxies are nothing but intestines from the front legs back. I don’t know how such a small dog was so full of … well you know. Ugh … that was so wrong. Thankfully we have hardwood floors. Ok that’s enough for today. Have a great weekend.

Those towels look familiar. Where did you get them? Barber towels?

Thanks Brian! I know I will. I have already run coax and cat5e through the house. So what’s one more run. I’m an IT guy also.
