Had a very nice shave this morning. Trying to go back to my old normal and stick with this kit for the entire work week. We’ll see how it goes. The scent sounded good and it was. I whipped up a nice, wet lather and got to it. Three smooth passes later and I was BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Life is good!

Home Front-
The missus was able to sneak away and come back home for about 2 hours today. The four legged little mongrels were trying to wiggle thier way in and get some attention. But I put a stop to that and shut them in a closet … JK. She filled her weekly med organizer and we got to unwind for a bit. And wouldn’t ya know, I was pulled away by 3 separate dumpster fires at the office. Grrrrrrrr. Short but sweet visit. I’ll take what I can get.

Another very nice shave with this line-up. Today was a very late shave, but so nice. My typical three pass shave and BBS for the win! Life is good!

Home Front-
Had the late shave because I had to go into the office today and didn’t get my crap together this morning. Messing with the dogs and what-not put me behind schedule and I missed the shave. I got wrapped up with things I had to physically touch at work and used my lunchtime to drive home. After work, it was shave time. These late day shaves are not too bad either. Got some grocery shopping done this evening too, so we live to fight another day.

I went ahead and stayed with The Fat and Avon. Today was another scent that is in my Avon top 5, Avon Everest. Another great lather and shave from The Fat too. I have been cutting my water back when initially loading and it has yielded big results. Nice wet lathery goodness. A peaceful three passes and I am BBS for the win! I may have stayed with this razor a bit longer than others, but there’s something about this razor. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s nice. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yup, I’m digging this scent. Life is good!

Home Front-
So the dogs and I have been living on Ramen and cheese whiz since the missus has been gone. My blood pressure is shot and I am tired all the time. I was able to forage for more Ramen so we don’t starve … JK. Things have have not been bad at Casa de Milkcrate, but we are ready for the missus to return. I am working on house cleaning and laundry today. Fun times.
