Trying a new shave soap today.

I'm trying the Clary Sage first. I bloomed the puck over night and I got a half decent lather....it's not anything to write home about...but for a first try it wasn't bad. The scent is nice but has already faded some two hours later.

I'm looking forward to trying the other scents. The Cedar & Pine is very strong. It's like walking through the forest.

See ya Later.
 
BTW....the moment that Penny mentioned that her shower wasn't working....I KNEW she was going to come out in her towel. A bit formulaic......but I'll overlook it.
 
I hope you keep this up. We can be reminded of the episodes as you do a daily commentary :)

I just checked....there's 279 episodes. I don't think I'll keep this up as a daily feature. How about if I just comment on the things that I find funny or too close to my life?

Wait a minute here. Let me see if I understand this. A young woman steps out of the bathroom wearing only a towel, and you have a PROBLEM with that? Do I have that right? Has the Vegas weather fried your brain? This does not compute. I hope you have a doctor’s appointment soon!

Oh....I didn't have a problem with it....I just saw it coming and for a tv show......that seems a bit lazy. I do acknowledge that it was the pilot episode for the show and they knew that the towel moment was going to hook viewers....I'm overlooking it. For now.
 
Actually.....that's a great example. Its BECAUSE of Three's Company that I tend to frown at tired sitcom tropes. Three's Company had like 3 scripts......and they just kept filming them over and over.

TV reviewers labeled Three’s Company and the shows like at that time “Jiggle TV”. Silly, but fun to watch.
 
Well.......Here comes the NHL Playoffs!!! The Golden Knights are first in the Pacific division and playing really great at the moment (subject to change at any moment). But the playoffs are so long! It could be 2 months of more hockey.....I know...it sounds like I'm complaining...but I'm not. It just has to be grueling for the players....but this is what they all want....a chance at Lord Stanley's cup. So once again....into the breech we go.

The Dodgers got off to an excellent start...and then cooled a bit. But its a long season and I'm not worried. When your first three batters have 4 MVPs between them....I think it may be ok (also subject to change at any moment).

On the trip front....next up is a visit from our daughter and granddaughter for 2 weeks in June with a visit to Disneyland in the middle. Of course....Dad gets to pay for everything. Missed out on a killer hotel deal by waiting a few days....that'll teach me. So now I'm paying almost double. Oh well.


On the shaving front.....still trying experiments to figure out the Euchris soap. Its plenty slick but has barely any lathering ability. I think the ingredient list is less than optimal. But at the same time......I used to only use Williams and that can be temperamental when it comes to fluffy lather. I guess I'm used to low lather/high slickness soaps so I'm not seeing it as a terrible soap. It gets the job done.

See ya Later!
