Very nice shave again this morning with a warm lather. This was an early morning shave because I had a video call with my boss and her boss. I am on vaca, but the meeting was for my annual review. I was given a glowing review and a promotion. So more work and responsibilities … yeah.

Anyway three nice warm passes and I was BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Just a chill day today. I checked USPS and it said my pipe should be here tomorrow, so I am stoked. Life is good!

Ah … Christmas morning. Merry Christmas one and all! I woke up early, but there is no longer the pitter patter of little feet. So I grabbed the brush warmer, my other gear and settled into an outstanding shave. I am still working on breaking in this knot and I thought I hit The Fat hard, but I had to reload for the third pass. They no longer make Aramis soap, but The Fat is a nice substitute.

I had three glorious passes and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a smear of the AS balm and everything was right as rain! Chased that with a few spritzes of the stank with the same name and it will be a glorious day! Life is good!

From our home to yours. Merry Christmas! Blessings and good tidings to you and yours!

Ran the same setup all week, with the exception of the brush. I have been using the Fluffy Industries brush to break in the knot. Life is good!
