The Ultimate Aftershave : The Club (Ariana & Evans) - Cold Day in Hell 2
Went with the same setup as yesterday. The only thing that changed was that I did a little bit of chasing. I probably did a little more than I should...but with the mild razor I think it was okay. What was the result? Probably the best DFS before you get to complete BBS! In other words a really great shave! I really liked this soap to begin with...but the more I use it...the more I REALLY like it. The first outing with this soap I probably didn't hydrate it enough. Yesterday I did a pretty good job at hydrating it...but it needed a little more. Today I really upped the water level and was rewarded with a stupid slick soap. In addition to slickness...this soap does a really good job with in shave protection. A nice glide across the face the razor really moves effortlessly. No skips, no jumps, no dragging at all. But this shave really excels at the post shave moisturizing/face feel. The past couple days I noticed and marveled at the face feel of my shaves six to eight hours later. Yup that's right...toward the end of the day, my face felt wonderful. I am not sure what it will take to keep this soap out of elite status...but I am looking for a reason. I'm not sure I am going to find one.

I know I owe you guys a Goat Yoga explanation and I will try to get it to you all with pics as soon as I can.
The wife is starting to feel better after her cold/sinus infection...so that's a good thing.
Starting to walk at lunch time for work since the weather is really nice now. Increasing my bike rides at night and the wife has expressed interest in starting to ride her bike or take walks at night also. I am looking for a way to incorporate some weight training in my routine but man...I hate lifting weights. It's just so boring to me. But as I get older to maintain and maybe increase muscle mass is going to be important.
It's Hump Day Cadre! Make it the best Hump Day you can!

Oh Crap! I well..I guess I need to do a little editing!
Fixed...Thanks Dave for recognizing the error!
That is definitely a good suggestion! Thanks!

Did my final shave yesterday for my detailed review of A Cold Day in Hell 2. You can find the written and video review here:
written-video-review-the-club-ariana-evans-a-cold-day-in-hell-2-detailed-review
Not much to say about this soap that I haven't already said...but It's just a really good soap. It definitely makes it to my Top 10 and might even fight it's way to the Top 5. Yes...it's that good. My wife made a comment last night about the scent though. She said she liked it fine, but also said that there is a lot going on with it. I recited to her the scent notes and she reaffirmed that there was a lot going on with it! It's not a good or bad thing...it just is. I have shaved with it now for a week so something else is likely to get the call up tomorrow. I realized the other day that I have a sample from KJ of Beehive Soap. I completely forgot about that. So I might try to work with that tomorrow.
The Danger Zone:
The wife and I went to the 13th Gate last night. It's a "haunted house" of sorts. It's actually on a bunch of "best of" lists and is VERY well done. They hire actually actors for some of the performances and it's just a really good time. We didn't do the Escape Rooms last night but I think next year we will.

I hope the Cadre has a wonderful Mond
ay and a fantastic week ahead of them!

Nice read and shave Don, have a great day !
Kansas City has some of the best haunted houses, and I have been wanting to go to them for the past 10 years. I still have never made it. I'm always busy on the weekends and can never spare the time to go. Plus they are an hour and a half away form me, so it's a real commitment to go. Next Year, I'll go..... and I say that every year!
Looks like Don is 3017ing CDiH!
Glad you’re still loving it man. Glad you had a fun night out with the missus!
Believe me! I do not 3017!
