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

Congratulations on the Phillies' win, Brian!

Here’s hoping they keep it up for game 2!

Razor: Stando Polska Prowe 2 With Svarga Handle
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 1st use
Brush: Stirling Soap Finest Badger Butterscotch
Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary Lime Mug
Soap: Ariana & Evans Vida After Dark Puck
Aftershave: Ariana & Evans Vida After Dark Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Vegan Balm
Additional Care: Caron Pour Un Homme de Caron Sport

Really like this scent- perfect transition from hot to fall - but with some citrus in there. Blends well with the Caron EDT.

Well Penn State took a shellacking in the 4th quarter. Such goes life. So hopefully the baseball deities smile down on the Phillies again tonight.



Well, at least 3 more times - but who’s counting?

Have a great day and if your community is doing Halloween tonight - stay safe!

I can’t cheer for a team named after artificial grass.

Go Phillies!

Razor: Bartmann 5/8” Primo (Friday)

Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary Red Mug
Soap: Phoenix & Beau Albion Puck
Aftershave: Phoenix & Beau Albion Aftershave
Balm: Soap Commander Refreshment Balm
Additional Care: Eight & Bob Original EdT

Well, the sport gods were not kind yesterday……I can live with PSU losing - I don’t like our coach - so we can buy him out with $64 million (I’m taking a collection) . Also, on that note, I would caution anyone wanting to attend PSU Business School - who wrote that contract?

The Phillies had a challenging game, went down 5-0, but clawed back a little. Next three games are in Philly - and we’re readying the welcome party for the other team and their fans We are the City of Brotherly Love after all - we will live up to our reputation.



I suppose I should get back to shaving - love this scent! Phantastic!

Looks to be one of those sunny, really crisp and cool Sundays - gotta spend some of it outdoors! Have a great Sunday everyone!

A split away is a big win.

Hah! That’s a great gif

I’ll take it my friend! No matter what happens - it’s been exciting so far.

I am a wimp when it comes to horror anything - I did go (probably due to peer pressure) to see Pet Cemetery and Poltergeist, but that is the extend of it (though I have walked the Exorcist stairs in Georgetown ). The closest I’ve come it the book and movie - Something Wicked This Way Comes.

My kids still tease me to this day that when I was married to their mom - I jumped on her lap when we were watching What Lies Beneath (Michelle Pfeiffer ) during one of those dramatic scenes.

I'm the exact same way, and my buddies still tease me about it. When I was younger, I suffered through all the horror movies and haunted houses in order to impress the girls, but now that I'm married with 2 kids, there's a snowball's chance in hell I'm going to pay my hard earned money to be scared!! Just not something that's ever appealed to me.

Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Gael Laoch Orange Aftershave
Balm: Soap Commander Charisma Balm
Additional Care: Creed Viking Cologne

Late evening shave. I didn’t think we were going to have Halloween because of the rain - so I took Aidan to Urban Air to do some trampolining. Got back - the rain stopped - so we handed some candy out. Still have a ton left over - and I only bought one bag - Thanks Costco!

The soap & AS are an homage to Creed Viking Cologne - a little spicier IMO than the EdP. I actually got the cologne version by accident - the reseller sent me the wrong bottle- but I kept it - in case I ever did this very shave lol!

I just watched the Philadelphia Union win the Eastern Division - so Philly better savor this year - looking good so far across the sports spectrum, which - if you are as old as me - was the place where the Flyers and the Sixers played. I am old.

Have a great evening everyone!

 

[GearNoir]

Awesome day!

I'm not going to lie......I'm a little disappointed that the razor has no orange on it. But then I'm sure you don't own ANY razors with orange on them. I mean.....how could you? Don't you only own something like 4 razors? (sarcasm font...securely ON)

I feel that I’ve let you down my friend.

Your punishment is sending me all of the razors beyond the 4 I assume you own. Or doing a rain-delayed Phillies shave tomorrow. Whichever costs you less in shipping.
