Happy Sunday Everyone. Sadly the weekend is winding down. I really don't plan to do too much today. I will go get a haircut this afternoon. Because of @primotenore temptation I will stop by and get some vermouth on the way home. I think a Sunday calls for a Manhattan. I noticed Primo using Mike's Vetiver so I just had to use it. Mike's Vetiver is just an unapologetic straight up vetiver. It is not green, fresh or cut with anything which I really like. Who am I getting, I like all vetivers. The monster CH3 synthetic tore through the soap whipping up a wonderful rich slick lather. I had forgotten just how cut Mike's soaps really work. With everyone else constantly updating soap bases and such, Mike's just moves along under the radar delivering fantastic results. Three passes and touch ups with the CG Everyday Razor ended in a near perfect shave. My lower right neck, aka my nemesis, allowed the little guy to escape. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver and a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver have me ready for a relaxing day ahead. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Happy Monday and the start of a new work week. I really should have worked some over the weekend but I needed the mental health break. Another drama free shave this morning which is my favorite kind of shave.

Swati, my wife, and I took Greyson to the Duluth, GA city green late yesterday. We had a blast. Greyson was wonderful and enjoyed looking at all the new sites and checking things out. We stopped by a micro brew pub for a beer and picked up a pizza to go. All the stimulation had Greyson exhausted. I am so happy he is settling in.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

You always bring out some uptown gear for your shaves, Clint. I'm glad the weekend was restful and hope this week is a good one (happy clients, many billable hours, and the occasional Manhattan). It is so cool to see Greyson getting settled in.

There is just something about that pic today, Clint. Awesome. Love the effect on the metals...fantastic job. Glad to hear Greyson travelled very well yesterday. I hope you drank his beer for him in the pub, though...:cool:

Thank you Jason. Greyson is going to be a great buddy. He just loves everyone. I will say, he is a lady's man. So many ladies came up and wanted to meet him. He was a gentleman and gave everyone a kiss. Swati mentioned I might not need to bring him without her tagging along. 🤣 Like I am that stupid.
