Happy Tuesday Everyone. It is a little warmer this morning in the ATL and should reach the mid 70s this afternoon. This time of year is my favorite here in Atlanta. I decided to go back with the Fat for today's shave. This big Alpha Outlaw brush takes a lot of soap to get fully loaded. I do love the full face feel of the big knot while lathering. Three passes and touch ups just missed the little guy. I did a really poor job of buffing my lower right neck. A splash of Grand Bay Rum aftershave and a spritz of Ogallala Bay Rum cologne left me smelling good. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Somewhere along the way, I missed that you're in Atlanta, Clint. Enjoy your team's championship! They were certainly the best team down the stretch.

Thank you Brian. I have been very unmotivated today. I hope your day has went well.

The Braves did much better this year than I would have thought earlier in the season. I am old enough to remember the last time the Braves won the championship.

I am old enough to remember the last time the Braves won the championship.

I am old enough to have rooted against them then. They were the Pirates' nemesis for a couple years running. Braves' pitching then was unfair to the rest of baseball!

They did have some fantastic pitching during that time frame. I am still amazed that during that extended run the braves only managed to get one championship.

Happy Hump Day Everyone. This week is going by very quickly. I am just rotating through some of my favorite razors I have not used recently. I always thought the Pils was a cool looking razor but was concerned with the mixed reviews. I managed to snag this one used for a fantastic price and decided to give it a go. The Pils is much like the Feather AS-D2. It is not an aggressive razor but I find it very efficient if I can maintain its narrow sweet spot. When I do my part the shaves are simply fantastic. Today's shave was no exception. I did have to use more touch ups to catch the baby. The Pils is just different enough that I need a shave or two to get back in the groove. We are expecting another chamber of commerce day here in the ATL with afternoon temps in the mid 70s. I just love this time of year. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Take care.

Yea, this week has been moving along. Sounds like a good day ahead! Enjoy Clint!

 

[Clint64]

Thank you Chris. I hope your day went well.

Thank you Chris. I hope your day went well.

Getting better every minute closer to 4:30!

They kept bumping into the Yankees, right?

Great shave, Clint! I really enjoy my Alpha T-400 brush! Glad things are going so well with your little whippet!

The Yankees and the Indians. Also the Marlins picked up a couple during that time frame as well.

Happy Thursday Everyone. I am working remotely today. Swati and I are going to the Stones concert tonight. I am officially excited. Back with the Pils today. The shave was much easier today. The angle is just different enough it takes me a bit to get it sorted. Overall a great start to the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Swati and I are going to the Stones concert tonight. I am officially excited.

Sweet! Enjoy the how. That band can bring it.

Don’t forget ‘93 when we laid the smack down on you guys to win the pennant! Sorry…the Phillies don’t have many great moments in their long history, so I don’t get a lot of opportunities to rub in a victory

Swati and I are going to the Stones concert tonight.

I am officially jealous!

 

[GearNoir]

Oh man! Awesome evening planned! Have a great time Clint!

Thank you Jeff. I am really pleased with Greyson's progress.

He’s definitely a cutie! I don’t know what I’d do without my little Gromit by my side!
