Turns out when you list your house for sale, your relaxing weekends vanish. Oh well, I'll be able to relax after it sells, we buy another house, we pack this house, we move, we unpack and we settle in.....so sometime next summer....maybe. On the plus side, the wife and daughter are spending most evenings on the phone looking through home listings for our area. They get to shop and talk at the same time so that's two hobbies covered in one shot. If they could figure out how to do something crafty at the same time, they'd hit the trifecta.
Also, just learned that when we travel to LA next week for Thanksgiving, that I'll be staying with friends that are Vegan and, now, gluten-free!! So my holiday is going to be challenging. No turkey. No stuffing. No bread. No beer!! I may be sneaking out after the meal to go drink a six-pack and gnaw on a turkey leg behind their garage. But the wife is aware of my pain and has set some time aside on saturday for us to go into Santa Monica where she assures me I can stop off for some great English food and beer. And to think I'm using PTO for this.
Shave Journal entry:
Been super busy and super tired the past few days and over-slept my alarm on monday, tuesday and this morning. Luckily I foresaw this happening and did a rare evening shave last night before bed. And since it was a rare event, I switched up soaps. The CBL Oud Mineral is such a fantastic scent...I may have to get some more (and the aftershave tonic!).
Still loving the mid-1950's Aristocrat. I finally gave it a nickname, Fred. I know that sounds boring but that was my wife's grandfathers name and since it was his razor....honor the man, honor his gear.
Also very nice thick lather making on such short notice from the RazorRock synth, Snowman. Always whips up a thick, fluffy mound of lather with very little soaking. If it hadn't been for the lather contest at the TSC Con, I would have never known how easy it is to work a synth brush. I was so used to pre-soaking my brush every time......to only have to dip the brush in water and go is like a whole new world of possibilities to me.
See ya later!
