I feel like I have risen from the dead. Not so much in that make me whole Lazarus way...but more in the "Wake the Dead" sort of way. Fitting I guess since it is close to Halloween. But I am back and ready for posting the all "too interesting" shaves that you all are engrossed in reading!
Today starts the TSC Artisan Week and this Month is featuring Stirling Soap Company! I have to say that I have come to appreciate Stirling Soaps more in the past year. They really are just a solid performer and can give such a great shave to the experienced and novice wet shaver alike!
Today, I need a lift to get the week started. So what better soap to start with the Triumph! Such a wonderful scent to this soap! Inspired by the Paco Rabanne scent Invictus...this soap and aftershave is a dead ringer! Three passes and a cleanup...and a little chasing...and I am 98% BBS. Completely enthralled with the scent...there may have been a little Mammoth Painting going on also. I think
@Blade-meister would approve!
A couple "glugs" of the aftershave with the same name and I am smelling ready to take on the day. Of course there is likely to be a couple more liberal splashes before I step out the door. You know...so the people in the elevator are sure to partake in this wonderful scent!
The Danger Zone:
Well...I think I am finally over my cold and the relapse...or whatever it was that I caught. A little bit of a lingering cough and a little bit of a snotty nose...but all in all...I don't have that "death warmed over" feel. The wife on the other hand. She is on the upward swing of things...but is definitely not

percent.
Football in South Louisiana is living large and it is amazing that since the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints are both winning...how big of a difference in attitudes around town it makes! It's all smiles around here!
It's Monday Cadre! And with a new work week comes new challenges. But I KNOW you are up for the task at hand. Go out there and spread the word...the Cadre accomplishes!
