TGITHMF! That’s right Chris, I am off work tomorrow and my weekend has officially started. The last two shaves were really good and I walked away BBS for the win! I did change a few bits up today. And tomorrow may be just a random shave. Life is good!

Home Front-
My mother is back in the hospital. Prayers, happy thoughts, positive vibes … whatever you have, please toss it her way. The missus has gone to babysit the grandkids, so Ellie and I are fending for ourselves until Sunday. Oh … and the lines are just for you Sam. I paid special attention to those today.

Mixed it up the last two days and this is where I landed today. It’s been awhile since I have used a Boker. The last one I had, I PIFed away and looking back I should have kept it. This one is fancier than my last and comes from the House of Somnos. The rest of the kit sounded good today also and it was. Went with my standard three passes and walked away DFS for the win! The razor needs a bit of work, but I will have it sorted out. Life is good!

Home Front-
Thank you all for the prayers for my mother. She is out of the hospital and in a rehab. She should be going home this coming week. In other news, Ellie and I have weathered the storm and the missus should be home tomorrow.

I still don’t have my wood bowl sanded and waterproofed yet. Hopefully I can work on that this week. So … instead of the Windsor soap, The Fat got the nod today. Great shave and I walked away BBS for the win! A healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Life is good!
