Pat’s Shaving Journal

Life has been going good here in Texas. I just bought my first grill so the wife and I have been enjoying that. My little brother moved up here and has been at the house a lot hanging out. My son, who just turned 1, thinks that he is old enough to do whatever he pleases now...there will be lots of disagreements in his future I feel. 
Thanks for reading DFS, and I hope y’all have a good rest of y’all Saturday!

Lol! One is a cute age. That mentality continues throughout their life. By 10 (if not earlier) it looses it's 'adorable appeal'. Enjoy the younger years, Pat. They're fun and you'll miss them.

Sounds like a great shave. Hope your weekend Saturday turns out great as well.

It sounds like these are the good old days for you Pat, and it's a pleasure to read your post about it. As for the ETHOS, IMHO you have the cream of the crop there, and it's a pretty fine crop to begin with.

Thank you! And luckily he is cute right now. These are some fun times and luckily my wife makes my son and I take pictures so we can look back on these days!

Thank you! I can definitely feel that these are the good old days for sure! And honestly with Ethos, I am seriously contemplating getting rid of most of my soaps and aftershaves that way I can just enjoy my Ethos products. Frank is killing it with his products.

PAT!!! Great update. My little one is going to be 3 soon and it seems that the disagreements grow exponentially...

Haven’t used Stirling in a while and I needed a quick shave so this set-up got the nod. I can’t get enough of the tobacco scents and I am really excited about Frank’s new Humidor collection. I have been seriously contemplating thinning my den to just ETHOS products and a few favorite scents of mine. Right now I have more soap and aftershaves than I know what to do with, but the hoarder in me is saying I can’t get rid of anything.
Thanks for reading DFS, and I hope y’all have a relaxing Sunday!

Man O Manischewitz Ethos soap with tobacco scents. Whoa daddy.
