That is a short stubby brush, but a real looker.

Happy Monday I think. Weekends are just too short. At least I was able to get in a relaxing shave before starting the day. A drama free near BBS shave in three passes and touch ups. I am just not on my game this morning. I have been dealing with some serious abdominal pain for about the last week. I can tell if it is a diverticulitis flare up, an issue with the mesh or a scare tissue tear. Whatever the reason, it freaking hurts. If things do not improve this week, I will go into the doctors but I am not looking forward to all the tests that will have to be done. Sorry to get into all that, I just felt like venting. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

Happy Hump Day everyone. Greyson and I had a wonderful 1 mile walk this morning. He is really getting used to the routine of the house. A relaxing no drama 3 pass shave this morning. These automatic shaves could be called boring but with all the stress of work, I need a little boring in my life. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

We met some friends yesterday at Joe Bolognas in Lexington. Great food! Have you and Maya checked it out yet?
Just order some bread sticks and watch your stress melt away.

Centering, calming, mind-emptying…that’s what it does for me. Excellent way to start any day.
Hope it’s a good Wednesday for you Clint!

Boring is good! I've noticed you seem to have reached for that Dead Sea a bit lately as well, Clint. It must be becoming a fave.November 17, 2021

Super happy for you that you have another loyal 4 legged companion in your home again.

I am with you. I find a drama free shave is a great start to the day. I did have a good day Chris. I hope you had a good day as well.

I do like the Dead Sea. I’ve been using it most of the days I work onsite for my consulting gig. I’m just trying to use something up.
Jason I’m so happy with Greyson. He’s really a cool dog.

Chris, that's actually one of the main reasons I became interested in traditional shaving. It was a relaxing ritual that I looked forward to each morning before work.

Happy Thursday. The week is flying by very quickly. Sadly I am entering one of my most stressful times of the year. Oh well, it goes with the territory and I enjoy what my work most days. Today's lineup continued with tried and true products that just work for me. The DK7 brush is always a joy to use. It just feels great in the hand while face lathering. Three passes and touch ups just missed the baby. I did a really poor job on my lower right neck letting the little guy escape. You can't win them all. I am off to my office this morning. I have been avoiding going in while the renovation was ongoing. However, I have to make an appearance this morning at least. I hope everyone has a great Thursday. Take care everyone.

Thank you Chris. Our youngest daughter, Maya, will be home on Saturday for Thanksgiving Break. So I am more than ready for the weekend.

Thank you Jeff.
Don't you just love college breaks? My three sons will be over, with our DIL, a GF, and two pitt bulls, 2 y.o and 7 mos. old. Could get interesting.

I love all the activity Bruce. Maya has a retired racing greyhound that will be coming home with her. This will be his first time meeting Greyson so things might be interesting.

Happy Friday Everyone. Back with the Fat for my Friday shave. I was really off my game this morning and ended up with several weepers which rarely happens. I guess I was thinking about the day ahead and all the things due before the end of the year. I know better and should just take each items as it comes up. Overthinking does not help me at all. Other than the red leakage the shave was pretty good. I am off to the Red Cross to donate blood this morning.
Maybe I was trying to get a head start. I hope everyone has a great Friday.
