Ok, the weather has been a bit of a bummer the last few days - so I needed a pick me up……queue the surfing music! This soap/AS/EdT combo did a great job in starting the day out right! And if you have kumquat in your note breakdown, how can you go wrong? Though, TBH - I didn’t even know what it smelled like until getting the EdT. I did end up buying some kumquats - just to say I had them - felt weird - not like peeling mini oranges - basically eating a miniature orange whole 😂 Like a man!

Then work reminded me….

But I won’t be derailed with breaks and curls like that….so I retort….

Two highlights of my day……going to go to Costco and the co-worker from yesterday is going to be getting even better news today. Shaka Brah!

Cognac themed shave because we Scuttles are going upscale all up in here!

The new outdoor shave den at the Scuttle abode:

Great scents and a really refreshing shave. Accidentally grabbed a Parker blade instead of a Derby Premium, which is typically my blade of choice for the Ambassador….and it performed spectacularly - so now I have two blades that I can go to (love the Ambassador -but for me, this is definitely a case where you need to find a matching blade to pair). I do actually have a Peach frag from Ginger’s Garden based on a Philly cocktail, but it doesn’t have cognac - so needed to stick with the theme.

So here’s to you my friends, having a great day and I’m going to grab Bipsy, Bobby, Skip, and Ginger, my upscale imaginary friends and finish off our fortified brandy.

Must have been quite a week for poor Brian. I think he hit a new record for [insert booze of choice here] mentions.

Don’t worry buddy, we’ll wake you up Monday morning with a nice cold shower and hot cuppa joe.

I love the scents of my software! Bright way to start a holiday off!. The razor, as expected, gave a great shave, but as I have explained in other parts of the TSC, a little bit of a bummer on what this razor really is.

Rockwell…..

Per a @Bill M request - I did a video. Woo Hoo.

Anyway - we’re not a downer blog …….no, we are cheery! So let me tell you about yesterday. Aidan had a fantastic day during lifeskills therapy. I couldn’t be happier with the results and to see him applying what he learned at home (and it gives me relief that this will make his life safer).

Everyone have a fantastic day!
