Happy Friday all and what a day indeed. Today’s theme...Leather! So much leather goodness all the bounty could not fit into the picture!

@woodpusher Sam dropped a box of goodies for me that included some serious soaps! Bath soap folks for Mrs. S and I. They are phenomenal really. So today I settled on Leather and Vanilla for the shower! Oh my!

Soap of the day Artisan Soaps Leather! Oh my so good! I can’t say enough about this small artisan company. It really is just an addictive leather scent.

Wonderful three pass BBS shave achieved. To finish this Leather extravaganza? English Leather AS followed by John Varvatos Dark Rebel! Incredible! Happy weekend Cadre! May your beers be cold and BBQ smokin!

You gotta let the diva out every now and then, hermano. Holding it in would surely result in an effect similar to @Dave in KY not getting his beauty sleep. 🤪 :ROFLMAO:


I hope the Daves don't band together to start a small fire in my apartment. C'mon, I just got everything fixed, guys!

Sunday the day reserved for quiet contemplation of all things good and bad. Today is a slow and easy day and so was the shave. Gillette Rocket HD was on tap for today loaded up with a Gillette Rubie. It is a newer tuck that has been rebranded from the old Rubie Platinum Plus. Happy to say they are just as good and I have 100 of the new ones and another 15 or so of the old. It is a fav blade of mine.

Soap of the day Stirling Orange Chill with a lovely citrus and menthol kick. Great soap and the matching AS is mentholated also.

Just an enjoyable two pass DFS. Double spritz if B&BW Citron and I am ready for a cool beverage in the warm sun. Take care and stay safe!
