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

I have nothing to add. I haven't lived in nor driven in notoriously bad traffic. The worst I have been in was Atlanta.

Ah Atlanta, when it rains you could swear there is a twenty car pile up ahead.

I think that any traffic, especially around any significant populace can be bad.

Well - my all time favorite frag - Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club! This was one fantastic shave - needed that today!

First time use of the Karve Overlander - I have to say really nice razor - very, very mild - I can attest to the claims that you can shave across the grain on the first path with no discomfort or tugging. Produces a very smooth shave. There is no blade feel on this one.

Can you believe it? The O’Gertzes and the McMittelsdorfs (my maternal side) - are all in a tizzy because my boss is making me go to an on-site meeting so I can talk to some muckety-mucks. On my national holiday of all things (Though both the Gertzes and the Mittelsdorfs take umbrage to me adding the O’ and the Mc’ - I say - people travelled by boats back in the day, they had to stop in Ireland before getting to the States- Hence we are Irish. So no Guiness Brunches for me. I’m having corned beef and cabbage tonight.

Have a great evening my friends.

Oh, I made a video, it’s processing now to post.

Come on, you couldn’t make that suggestive or double entendre at all?

Well - the sun is out, I’ve done my morning walk, had my first meeting on calculating labor rates for the next contract, and had freshly squeezed juice for breakfast along with Grape Nuts (to think I used to tell my dad they were blech when I was young; they are awesome).

Since it is going to be above 24 degrees today (I’m training myself to do all metric for now on) - I decided to go with an all citrus shave! I know, I know, this is a change of pace for me. I think all the products today are fantastic - Pinnacle‘s soap is nice an bright, @Dragonsbeard ‘s custom skin food - this is a perfect blend of citrus (tart lime and sweet tangerine) with a splash of mint! Finished the shave with Dua Artistic Lime which is a dupe of Bohemian Lime.

Have a fantastic start to your weekend!

Damn! That is a nice looking pic!

I used to LOVE Grape Nuts as a kid. Not sure why...but I would eat the crap out of those.

Grape Nuts rock - I don’t know what I missed when I was younger!
