going to school or does he live out there?

He and his family have lived and worked in Seattle the last 7 years. Time was right to sell their house. Since the pandemic began, he's worked from home. They basically can live anywhere there's an internet connection. His wife's a nurse and a professional photographer. Time is right; kids are 6,4 and 16 months. Thanks for asking.

Good evening Cadre! Hope you're having a great week.

First day of vacation. Not doing much this evening. We went and had dinner. I had the Schweinebraten (roasted pork) with carrots and potatoes. Also the .5 liter of beer above 🍺. The wife had Sauerbraten (roast beef) with carrots and potatoes. Both were delicious (we shared). Then a little window shopping. Got a few things but we're back at the hotel now.

Started the day off with a fantastic shave. Went with the Saponificio Varesino "Opuntia" soap and aftershave. Great scent and performance (so glad my senses returned after the 'Ronna).

Hope you're having a great week gentlemen. :)

One of my top shave creams! Awesome scent with a nice creamy and slick lather...the new Silvertip is a dream! Kitten-belly fur softness and the knot is huge...felt like a 26mm...
Had a good shave with the razor paired with this new but long-in-possession blade. The razor SB side is more aggressive than the OC side & 2 out of 3 passes were with the OC side. Turns out to be not as efficient but feels crisp, smooth, and comfortable. 3passes for a bbs/dfs result without issues. Aftershaves were awesome as well.
