Sweet shave my friend! Love the scales of the razor - the grain in the wood is really sharp!

Holy frijole, Milk-man. Now you're color coordinating your shaves! I'm telling you, it's a freakin' epidemic around here.

Thanks Brian! Those olive wood scales really spoke to me.

I don’t want to lose my outlier status. I’ll knock it off

Thank you Chris! And yes it was a good day, allthough I am getting sick. Not sure if it’s the up and down temps, some strong winds or something else. I am taking a decongestant and stuff but the mucus is no longer clear …

Uh oh! Well, hope it passes quickly!
IT folks aren’t allowed to get sick - the network has to stay up!

IKR? Oh I’m still working, I’m just remote this week.
Probably for the best. I just received my goals for the year and lost hearing in my left eye.

So … with the exception of the Ethos shave, I have been using this Stirling set since I finished off the Duc de Santal. I think I will try and use this one up before moving to the next set. But this one is a definite repurchase. I really dig this scent. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! That’s right friends and neighbors … Life is good!
Did you go outside with wet hair? I hear that can do it.

What?! Now you tell me.
I am doing better now. So I’ll go brave the elements and fish a tournament tomorrow.
A champion scent! That’s why the frag this is an homage to has a bottle shaped like a trophy!

I don’t think I could be a staunch 3017 kind of guy. The whole variety thing trips me up.

Working away at the Stirling Triumph. I can see a bit of the tub, but it should take a while to finish this one off. No worries, it’s a great scent. Another three pass shave and I am once again BBS for the win!
So the fishing tournament this past weekend didn’t treat us kindly, so our funds were just donated to the cause. We caught a few fish and a couple were keepers, but it was a tough day. I was kinda sickly last week, but feeling better now. Now the missus is sick … goodness. But, in spite of that … Life is good!

I guess that means no snogging on Valentines Day.

Probably not, the missus has been violently ill since Sunday. I almost bought her some fishing lures or new rain gear for Valentines, but didn’t think that would go over well.
