Don't know why your laughing. I have chocolate chip and pecans cookies on deck for tomorrow's shave. Maybe I'll video it as I'm reviewing a razor too

Well, I never mentioned it, but I don't. Of course, I don't like beer, so there you go. Plenty of other CBL flavors to enjoy.
I don’t like beer either, but luckily I only smell oatmeal cookies.Well, I never mentioned it, but I don't. Of course, I don't like beer, so there you go. Plenty of other CBL flavors to enjoy.
I could see that.
That's pretty much what I thought.
That would make me make time to watch more TSC videos.Don't know why your laughing. I have chocolate chip and pecans cookies on deck for tomorrow's shave. Maybe I'll video it as I'm reviewing a razor too

I'll try and remember for tomorrow's shave
Straight razor shave #537
Razor: Feather SS
Blade: ProGuard
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: B&M Reserve Lavender
Aftershave: Speick
EDT: Prada Luna Rossa Sport
The plan was to finish a couple of samples that I had been given, then try the two new soaps that should have been here by now, THEN start with the 3017 of the Dragonsbeard soap and AS. Sadly our usps driver doesn't know an open road from a closed one, so it hasn't worked out the way I'd hoped. I decided to give it one more day before scrapping the original plan and just hitting the long stretch of 3017, and the B&M Lavender was called up this morning. This is a good go-to soap for me, as I love the scent of lavender and it has great performance. I put the my last ProGuard in the SS and got to it.
Man, what a great shave this turned out to be! Three passes with very minor clean up left me with an amazing BBS. No blood and no burn from the AS. This is about as good as it gets. A few sprays from an old sample of Luna Rossa Sport and I was ready to go. This one is my least favorite of the Luna Rossa line. Nice lavender up top but it gets pretty generic during the dry down, and the longevity is pretty meh.
I'm hoping I hear from HR at the new job in the next day or two. I found out that there had been a delay with my current place of employment sending them my start date here, and I think that was the last thing they needed.
Thanks for reading and have a great night!

Leave it to the HR department to screw things up 
Sometimes, but not always thank God lol.Leave it to the HR department to screw things up
Ordered. Bang!
Phew, been a crazy few days. First off, we are still not getting our mail. I went to the post office on Monday on the off chance that it would be there instead of on the truck with the lazy driver. It was, and I received the following
And in even better news, HR called on Monday and I start my new job on March 10th. My last day at my current job is Saturday, and we told the residents this morning. I actually got a long standing ovation, and got pretty choked up. I am really going to miss this place and the people that I've grown to know and love over the last few years. I'll still be around when I can, but it won't be the same as seeing them every day. I move next Tuesday, and will be pretty busy packing up and getting things organized until then.
Thanks for reading and have a great evening!

Congrats Eric!
Congrats, Eric! And nice score. I've had my eye on Zingari Man stuff for a few months.
Best of luck. At the new job.
Thanks guys!
The UHaul and storage unit are reserved and, as expected, I've barely been able to get any packing done lol. I've got breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next three days scheduled with people that I won't be seeing much once I move. Bring a natural introvert it still amazes me how many relationships I've built up here, and I'm going to miss a lot of folks like crazy.
In actual shaving journal news, I've used both Zingari Man The Explorer and the WCS duck fat Oriental shave soaps. I love the scent of both and both are excellent performers. Every razor except the Feather SS and Rockwell 6c are packed up, and every soap and aftershave except Dragonsbeard are packed as well. My first 3017 has begun.
I hope to be on more once things settle down a bit. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
