Thank you, Jim!

Thanks, Paul!

Alabama is divided into 8 geographical regions for state band events. Our region’s audition day is tomorrow. I’m one of the many adjudicators. Each region contributes a quota amount of students to the overall All-State bands.

Thanks, Clint!

Good luck with auditions and with the fickle joker. Good news is that with the Kong brush, Sandpiper soap and AS splash, you know for sure that at least three pieces of this puzzle will fit correctly

Bwah hah hah hah!!!

What I didn't particularly care for was the 'wood like' middle Note. It passes though.

FWIW, as of this writing still some of the 2oz Tsuka (BoS 2019) aftershave bottles left reduced price $5. EdT sample size $2.

Interested parties should act.
I have hoarded this before.
You ha e been warned.

all part of the visual enjoyment of the shave..

A very Happy Anniversary to the Carey's.

Amigo, congratulations on your anniversary. Hope you and your bride have a wonderful day and wishing you many more.

OK I am in. Here is Saturday's shave:

Jan 1 shave by the Lunar calendar:

Started off the year with hot lather and a huge grinning razor. I have to say that after todays great lather DR Harris is in first place for the hot scuttle contest. In the scuttle it looks super bubbly and like it would be terrible but when it goes on my face it returns to the proper consistency and is super slick. Today's razor is a 9/8 Mike Martinez with a huge smile and laser like edge. The shave was very enjoyable and the results epic.

Awesome! Is that a new brush, Keith? I don't recognize it.

awesome..

I got it about 6 month ago, the handle is from Silverloaf (makes straights too) and the knot is a flat top Shavemac. I did not set it deep enough and it spays huge so it is not very good with hard soaps. But today I found it's best use, it is perfect for a huge bowl or scuttle, it worked great today in my enormous hot scuttle.

So. Awesome.

Thanks Keith!

BTW, I got home and spent the evening with my cute family and I'm feeling a lot better. Stress is a part of life and life is good. This job, which I love, puts me through a lot of challenges. After the initial shock wears off we just go to work and get 'er done.

Besides next week I get to hand out promotions, raised, and bonuses. My team is being rewarded well so it'll be fun.

Thanks for the support gentlemen!

I think I will warm up my lathe and try turning my first brush handle tomorrow!
