Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

I’d definitely think Viking is one that is not a blind buy. I take full responsibility for getting in your head - do it - you must buy it (sorry was that out loud

I already own it. I don't want to start smelling rose in it!

Focus on the peppermint! And I can’t believe I skipped over the part where you said you had it - it was only the first sentence

Just got caught up, glad to see Apple is sending you a new HomePod and that you got Aiden's work study back on track!

Another one with the peppermint in the soap! I love it in candy and ice cream. In soap? Meh.

Don’t eat it!

Don’t eat it!

Unless it's in ice cream or candy, I don't. I also keep the smell away from my soaps.

So - even though it is kinda blah outside - raining but sticky….wanted a vacationing type of shave. My Rocnel SE-50 is my Long Board of shaving. So perfect break and no chops for today‘s shave. Felt like JV Artisan Pure - the wicker says stacay vacay to me .




So the boss decided to call in to one of our meetings from her vacation hideaway in Hawaii - so Pucker factor up to make sure we have every thing in line before she gets online……so as one of my favorite movies would say - this is the surfing equivalent:



Have a great day my friends!

Never noticed the wonderful citrus note in the AS until today - really bright - enjoyed the shave very much.

Not much to report today - just chillin’. Jack is happy that Aaron Judge is signed for the year with the Yankees. Phillies playing the Padres today - watched the game last night reminded me of how much I still want to settle down out there - wonderful city!

Have a great start to your weekend!

I aim to please my friend! Either the app does a very good job of transforming the picture - or you and I are taking too many meds

 

[Graybeard57]

you and I are taking too many meds

That could explain it.

Have you guys heard of this fan-dangled fad going on - this thing called straight razor shaving? Well let me be the first to tell you - it’s pretty darn cool, pretty darn cool!



So - went the Stirling route today which always puts a smile to my face - and Island Man is the perfect blend of summery fun to me. Finished with an Alexandria Fragrances original which I know will shock everyone - has both a citrus AND a boozy note. Go figure.

Today I think will be a river walk day because tomorrow I think I’ll take Aidan to the pool.

Oh, I had a moment of maturity today - I talked myself out of buying a Wacker straight and a Thiers Issard straight. Ok, Ok, you broke me down, the two that I wanted with the scales I wanted were sold out - but I am counting that as a moment of growth. So there!



Have a fantastic weekend!

I saw what it did to B Dave. It’s to be avoided at all cost!

What if you were born with 11 fingers so you could afford to lose one? That would negate the Barber Dave argument

Just when extra-digit people felt their were no hobbies specifically for them!

Way to practice delayed gratification there Brian!

Well, to be honest, it’s usually just one day.
