I silently accepted the loss of the division when we couldn’t win with Wheeler on the mound in the first game of the Braves series. Last night was the nail in the coffin and I may or may not have cried into a few beers during that game 😂😂😂

Haha that’s is Chris. Yeah Willie seems to be back to his usual destructive self for now.

BTW, maybe your wife can give up Willie updates when you're busy? That would be great.

Haha I’ll see what I can do about that!

Shave Time!

Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: PAA Starcraft
Soap: WSP Mahogany
AS: WSP Mahogany

Joining in with @Clint64 for OCtober and pulled out the Fatip Grande. This thing is a pretty aggressive razor and I was worried I wouldn’t have the best shave since I haven’t used it in a while. To my surprise I came out unscathed and DFS+ for the win! I’ll be adding a new OC at some point this month to help switch things up, just haven’t decided what yet.

The WSP Mahogany is a great scent and for me it goes perfectly with the fall season. The wife likes it too so that helps lol.

Finally grabbed some fire wood and came across some dried out wood in the back yard. Time for the inaugural lighting of our new fire pit while we wait for the Penn State game to start. Even have my Sanford and Son outdoor TV setup hooked up!

He had some good lounge time in the grass this afternoon before I mowed.

Shave Time!

Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Voskohd
Brush: PAA Starcraft
Soap: WSP Mahogany
AS: WSP Mahogany

Same setup as the last shave as I was running late this morning and didn’t have time to switch things up. Toned it down to a 2 pass shave since this razor is pretty aggressive and I think that was the right call. Walked away DFS++ and no irritation. No complaints here!

In Other News…
The Phils are done, the Eagles lost, I went 0-2 in Fantasy Football this week and lost the championship in fantasy baseball to my wife…not a good sports weekend for me lol. On a good note, I just ordered a Muhle R41 and Parker Semi Slant. They should be here by Saturday.

Willie World:
Just another Monday for the master of disaster. He’ll be looking for some couch time when we get home from work. Probably going to watch The Many Saints of New York tonight. Willie’s a big mob movie guy and I’m pretty excited to check it out 😂😂😂
 
Hey in my defense, she spends more time doing fantasy sports research than just about anyone else I know that plays haha! She’s won one of our football leagues twice!
 
Shave Time!

Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Voskohd
Brush: PAA Starcraft
Soap: WSP Blackbeard
AS: WSP Blackbeard

Another shave with the Fatip Grande for OCtober. The Muhle R41 (along with a Parker Semi-Slant) should be arriving Saturday. So I’ll be able to switch things up to at least one more razor throughout the month.

The Blackbeard scent is awesome and perfectly matches the fall season IMO.

Expansion at work has begun. Another 10 acres right next door is being prepped for us to start using soon, so hopefully I won’t have to worry about jumping back and forth between Philly and Jersey.

I plan on heading to the Tractor Supply around the corner tonight to see what size boot I am since they carry Ariat’s. I found a pair on their website that I like but figured I’d go try on a pair that’s similar style before I order anything. Thanks for leading me to the edge of this rabbit hole and then pushing me over the edge @WildWest74 😂😂😂

Willie World:
We had some nasty thunder storms come through in the middle of the night on Monday. Loud enough thunder and bright enough lightning to wake me up at 3am and keep me up until about 4:00. Willie was pretty shaken up and is just now starting to act like himself again. Last night while we were eating dinner he wasn’t in his usual begging position and I found him hiding under the bed. I think he was still a little upset, but it wasn’t anything a piece of pork shoulder couldn’t fix!
