Things are thawing out....mid 40s and plenty of sunshine today. Even warmer tomorrow. Barely any snow or ice left, save for the areas that always in the shadows this time of year. Official report at DFW Airport is 5" of snow (areas north had more), and -1F as a new record low. Lots of people in recovery mode. Talked with several other DIYr neighbors that are tearing out walls, replacing pipes, water heaters, sheetrock and more. Outer walls (particularly pipe spaces) in houses and businesses not insulated like they are in more northern areas. 3 plumbers trucks in our little area. Most everyone I've talked with lost an entire refrigerator of food. Our only damage was the flexible water line to the refrigerator which ruptured (from age and being brittle) when I pulled the frig from it's space to plug it in to a generator back on Monday night. $60 to replace the lines and filter (which was obviously needed anyway). Wow....we were (are) lucky & blessed we had the generators before this weather event.
Today's shave, early this morning, just getting to post. Super nice CK6 formula bowl lather. 3 smooth passes with the Tanifuji, no issues, super smooth results. Followed with some face pampering using my favorite after shave balm, a lightly mentholated gel from PAA called Star Jelly. Finished with another PAA fragrance, this one called Astro Traveler. It's a very nice blend of pepper, saffron, with some woody & tobacco notes.
Hope everyone's remainder of the weekend is Great!
