Went with another sample today, from Hendrix Classics, called Bassass. To my nose it is light on the sample, so I was curious how it would open up. Smeared a bit in the copper bowl and got to it. Whips up a nice lather, but it was still faint. I lost the scent during the shave and didn’t pick it up again. The only thing I can surmise is that I must already be Badass. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! It was a nice shave and I wrapped it up with a splash of Witch Hazel. Life is good!

First day of another week of staycation and I started it off with a late morning shave. This B&M set I picked up in a trade. It lathers well with good slickness and residual slickness. Went with my standard three passes and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Good shave! But the missus said it was just “eh” and I’m not smitten with it. So into the BSTP box it goes. Life is good!
 
Great start to the staycation…you’ve already succeeded in getting rid of a soap! Glad you’re enjoying your faux-Saturday! 😂👍

Been using this setup for the last two days, but there is a lot of soap to use up before it’s gone. This is one of several sets that will be a one and done. I like the soap and scent, but I am trying to work my way down to 10–12 permanent sets for rotation. There are three soap/AS sets that I would like to add, so I will be a bit working through these others. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! A very nice shave. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yup, still enjoying this one. Life is good!

Home Front-
Turbo is doing a lot better with her stomach issues, you wouldn’t even know she was sick. But she has a few pills to finish up. Easy to sneak a pill in a hot dog bite for her. Now the Bully is having stomach issues and having skin issues. She went to the vet yesterday for a couple of shots. We also has three separate pills that she has to take. Not easy because she will not take a pill. Can’t sneak them in a treat either, she finds them and spits them out. She is a weirdo dog that actually chews her food. So we may have to force feed them to her. That’s all I have today.

My shepherd is like that because she’s had so many meds in her short life. A little chunk of warm meat did the trick the best, just big enough to cover the pill, with the pill shoved into the middle through a little slice.

We even tried raw hamburger meat in balls not much bigger than the pill. That worked until she found a pill, now she won’t fall for that one again.
