    Great picture, Clint. That is too bad about the soap scent, it sounds nice.

    A little improvement with every shave and it will be giving your top notch shaves in no time!

    Moved up to 3 on the dial and I can definitely tell the aggressiveness is moving up with it. Two passes for a DFS, even without clean up. Not irritation, but I could tell it was cutting. I hope everyone has a great day!

    At least I know I like Fine Lavender scent. I am a big fan of Fine soaps which means I will like their soap in the matching scent. ;)

    I shaved Thursday and Friday with my Fat Boy loaded with a Feather blade. Two passes got me near BBS on both days. Now that I've shaved with some different DE blades, I can say that the Feather is indeed smoother on the second shave. KMF (Thursday) and LaToja (Friday) performed flawlessly. This afternoon, I chose the Feather AC with a Super Pro blade on shave number 3. I went with Jabonman Eufros Oriental Breeze for a one-pass WTG darn fine shave. As I usually do, I took a few different mini-passes on my lip and chin area to get smooth. Finished with Clubman and Aramis EDT.

    My Bride and I plan to see a murder mystery play tonight where the audience gets to interact and vote on "who did it?". It should be fun. I hope I didn't splash on too much Clubman and Aramis. Well, I've got a few hours to air out before curtain time! :happy097:

    Over the last few weeks, I have completed my immunizations, blood tests, and preliminary training to volunteer at the local children's hospital. Once I shadow another volunteer performing a specific role, I think they'll turn me loose. I'm ready to get started. :)

    Have a great weekend, gents. You too Jared! :rofl:

    Congrats on finding some volunteer work that appeals to you. My mother in law really enjoyed working as a volunteer after her time after retirement.

    Good on you for the volunteering. No moss growing on you since retirement.

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the encouragement. It will be for a few hours each week. Truthfully, I don't know what to expect, but I'm sure I will get much more in return than I'll ever give. I can't use any scented products on volunteer days. Don't let me forget. :)

    I think the Clubman eradicated any residual moss that might have been growing on me. ;)

    I'm sure it eradicated more than the moss. The stuff is deadly

    If it was the Veg, you're lucky it was only the moss! It's a fine thing you're doing Charlie!
