Shave Time!
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Derby Premium
Brush: Stirling synthetic
Soap: CBL Oud Minerale
AS: Clubman
Third shave on the Derby and another 3 passer with the Yuma. Still comfortable and overall a nice shave. This is a good combo, but boredom may change the razor after a while.
In Other News...
I moved into my own office today...kind of. Currently share it with the yard supervisor and all of their gear (handheld scanners, wallow talkies, safety vests,etc.) but by next month he and the gear will be relocated. It’s kind of cool, but it will take a little getting used to not being out in the main office area with the rest of the crew.
Willie World:
Currently snuggled under a blanket with the wife...I bet I can get his attention with a bag of chips though....

Yay! Charlotte got his own office! Well sort of... 
Congratulations, SCF! Did you take Willie and wife out to dinner to celebrate?

Unfortunately there is a strict “No Animals” rule in the office. I always complain because if that’s the case then why are half of our employees allowed through the door!
Sure did. Willie even got a special peanut butter tr
Sorry Chris, that disturbance in the force was my fault!

Shave Time!
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Derby Premium (4)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: CBL Tonsorial Roasted Oatmeal Stout
AS: Stirling Gentleman
Shave number 4 on the Derby Premium and it's still going strong. I was going to switch up the razor today, but decided I'm going to ride that out as long as I can. It's a super comfortable combo, and I'm getting DFS+ and BBS shaves with it. I just feel like during the shave I'm not getting as close as I should be. I don't know, it just feels weird but ends up good so I'm sticking with it!

Today was my first full day NOT doing my old job. It was a little weird. I've been in that role at work for the last 6 years. I'm also worried that it isn't being done correctly, or within the time limits set forth in the contracts we have with our customers. I'll get over it soon though, I'm sure!
Willie World:
Willie is currently barking at me with a toy at my feet...I wonder what he wants?

That is a dog that clearly knows something we don’t. I’m pretty sure he’s smirking. A male canine Mona Lisa....

Oh he has secrets...like the reason he ate the couch one day a few years ago. Only he knows why.
Abby's super power is napping! Our cat is similar, and makes me feel like I need to nap because, dang! He looks so comfortable!

Shave Time!
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Derby Premium (5)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: Razorock Santal Royale
AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue Sport
5th shave on the Derby blade today and all is well. I did have just a hint of irritation on the cheeks, but it disappeared by the time I hit my face with the aftershave. Tomorrow I'm switching to another razor. Probably a black handled Super Speed. We'll see what happens...

Work is work. Got word today that we'll be able to get 3 people (one office and 2 yard employees) significant raises which is awesome. Turns out the new boss uncovered some...anomalies in our staff's compensation that we're trying to rectify.
Willie World:
Not much going on with Willie this week. His brother Ozzy and sister Lucy are also doing well. I'll have to find some pics of them and throw them up in the Cadre Pets thread.
