Late morning shave today and it was nice. Decided to go with Porthos and will try to stick with this setup all week. This scent fell into the “like” category, so it should be around for a bit. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Oh yeah, Monday here I come. Life is good!

Opps … I forgot I was going to use PAA this week, my bad. Anyway, had a very nice lunchtime shave … just because. Three passes and I walked away BBS for the win!

So another day in the joys of pet parenting. Looks like less damage today. Two of the grandkids toys and one stuffed animal of the missus found their way to the dog pillow. The stuffed animal was rescued without incident. My sneakers were assaulted and there is extensive shoestring damage to one shoe. One a positive note, the potty training is going very well … knock on wood. And I think that’s all I have for you today. Life is good!

Just don’t let the dog near your brushes Tim. Especially the Badger and Boar ones. No good can come from that.

TGITHMF! Thank goodness it’s Thursday My Friday! I scored this in a generous PIF from ScuttleSoap and thought I would give it a go. This is from the website.

“This scent is inspired By the now high in demand discontinued ,Ultra Zest. We used top quality the best money can buy fragrance oil in this soap to recreate this much beloved scent. Scent Notes are as Follows: Fresh notes of tangerine and blood orange float over a rich accord of patchouli, coffee, spices, and vanilla. Hints of ginger and mint”

Home Front-
The only casualties today were the missus house shoes … uh oh. You know what I am talking about. Life is good!

Day off today and it is kind of a casual day. Today I used another soap/AS set from the PIF from ScuttleSoap. This is another light pleasant scent, that is blended so well that I cannot pick out a single scent. Three nice passes and I am BBS for the win!

From the website:
Scent notes: Australian coastal moss, lemon,sage,geranium,Virginia Cedars.

Home Front-
So another day in the life of puppy parenting. And what was victimized today? I found my hiking boots on the dog pillow, along with one of the missus flip flops and some kind of craft stuff. On my side of the bed (in another room) I found the missus other flip flop. All the Kings horses and all the Kings men couldn’t put that back together again. I think that’s all I have for you today. Life is good!

Started today off with a late morning shave. This is another soap from my ScuttleSoap PIF. This one, on the dry down reminds me of an Avon scent. It has that kinda vibe to it, but I can’t place it. It also appears to be discontinued or maybe seasonal, not sure. Anyway, another very nice shave. Didn’t have a matching splash, so I finished this shave up with straight Witch Hazel. And once again some BBS goodness for the win!

Home Front-
I don’t think I mentioned that the missus is back in East Texas, taking care of grandkids for a few days. So I am trying to hold down the homestead. Oh the trials and tribulations of a puppy parent, lets see the destruction count for today. So last night I heard a sound similar to a wind chime. We don’t have one in the house … so let’s look. Some “beach in a bag” sovereigns we made years ago with: sea shells, sand dollars, sand, etc. dog was throwing it up in the air. Bag ripped with shells and powder fine sand everywhere. Today: Dallas Stars memorabilia book from the mid-nineties Stanley Cup run- gone. More of that potpourri crap- gone. And she found another “beach in a bag” … (sigh). I think I might have to start measuring her damage on the Fujita scale. Life is good!

But you still have your sense of humor! Enjoyed the read, as always.
