The Deets-
Yesterday was The Fat and Florida Water. Today was Which One’s Pink. This was a very nice late morning shave. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! You know it. A very nice start to the day. Life is good!

Home front-
So had a video call with my specialist yesterday and the images confirmed what was suspected. Thankfully no “C” to worry about and it can be managed with meds. So the meds started today. Yesterday we went and helped the youngest stepson and his wife move. It was a late night. The missus and I were sitting in a Waffle House shortly after midnight for dinner. With that, I had a late morning shave and chill day today.

Today was a very nice late morning shave. Went with the Opuntia today, using a boar brush. I also went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. So nice. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! And of course you know … Life is good!

Home front-
Today is a day of rest in our household. But I found I do have one chore to do … the missus has seasoned Rib-eye setting out. So grilling will be done today. Rib-eye, sweet potatoes, salad and cheesecake. We are living large today.

Didn’t realize I haven’t posted all week … my bad. I rocked Ethos Succes this week. Started the week with a straight and the last two days I grabbed the Slim. Great shaves and BBS all around. Same same at work this week. I picked up a new team mate, so hopefully things will lighten up on me as he settles in. Have to help my stepdad with some stuff tomorrow. Then visiting with a friend that is in town Sunday. I also have a Japanese straight headed my way, it’s a Manaslu M-55. Life is good!

Slept in a bit and had a very nice shave. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Man, I dig Proraso Red. Helped my stepdad get his stuff done and then got invited to dinner with my youngest stepson and family. It’s a thank you dinner for helping them move. I am all about free food, so I am in. Life is good!
