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.
Sorry about the fluid leakage, but hey, it happens to all of us in this hobby, Clint! Take it slow and easy, old friend! The MOLC awaits!
 
Mr Murphy visited my shave too Clint! Price for occasional overconfidence I guess lol.

Have a great Friday! Good on you for going in to donate!

Happy Saturday Everyone. I am looking froward to Maya getting home later this afternoon. We just chatted and she wants to spend the day watching college football. She is certainly my girl. I decided to go with the AOS Bourbon shave cream this morning. While the cream works great, the scent is just meh to me. However, it is a gift from the wife so I will use it with a smile on my face. Three passes and touch ups just missed the baby. A splash of Small Batch Shave Tonic and I am ready for a trip to restock the adult beverages in preparation for the holiday week. Then it is time to watch some ball. Even Greyson is ready for the UGA game.

Greyson is looking good in his UGA scarf! Glad you got to enjoy the game with your daddy’s girl!

Happy Sunday Everyone. It was an early morning shave with a late evening post. We had to get up and get moving today. Greyson and I knocked out our mile quickly. The shave was an uneventful 3 passes with touch ups. I missed the baby but that was not a problem. I managed to start the donut hole in the center of the soap. I cut some from around the edge and filled in the hole. I have about 20 grams of soap left so that should be done within the next 15 shaves or so.

My Aunt passed away 11/27/20. With Covid going on at the time her memorial service was postponed until today. Swati, Maya and I went to take my Mom to the service. I will say that the service today was one of the best I have heard. I think it really helped my Mom in the grieving process.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. Take care and stay safe.

Sorry for your loss, Clint! I’m glad your Mom and you found the service meaningful!

Happy Monday Everyone. Back to work for a short week. I decided to revisit the Denali which is another homage to the Gibbs and very similar to the Rex Ambassador. Everything worked well together catching the baby with three passes and touch ups. I am very tired this morning and really hope work is on the easy side today. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.
