The Deets-
Today seemed like a good day for an Avon aftershave, so The Fat got the nod as well. Three very smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!

That’s a cool looking Avon bottle and the  Oland scent is pretty Skippy. 
Your Clauss razor is  on deck for Shave trials this evening. 
Hope your weekend is going well.

Thanks Ken! The Avon was from Dave in KY and I dig the Oland scent.

Can’t wait to hear the results of your trial. My weekend is going well, I hope yours is as well.

The Deets-
I went ahead and stayed with The Fat and Avon. Today was another scent that is in my Avon top 5, Avon Everest. Another great lather and shave from The Fat too. I have been cutting my water back when initially loading and it has yielded big results. Nice wet lathery goodness. A peaceful three passes and I am BBS for the win! I may have stayed with this razor a bit longer than others, but there’s something about this razor. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s nice. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yup, I’m digging this scent. Life is good!

Home Front-
So the dogs and I have been living on Ramen and cheese whiz since the missus has been gone. My blood pressure is shot and I am tired all the time. I was able to forage for more Ramen so we don’t starve … JK. Things have have not been bad at Casa de Milkcrate, but we are ready for the missus to return. I am working on house cleaning and laundry today. Fun times.

 Cheeze Whiz and ramen! Oh man, you made me laugh!

The Deets-
So the last two days I decided to break out some of the lightly used goods. This kit got the nod for the last two days and delivered great shaves. Love the scent of this soap, just wish it hung around a bit longer. The blade was a Wilkison that had blue writing on the wrapper. I say that because I can’t remember where it came from. I was given two with blue label writing and two with black writing and we had to compare the two vintage blades. Good shave. The razor I have had for a while and it delivers great shaves. This one, among others, have found there way to my BST box, just because I am thinning down the DE razors.

Anyway, three easy passes and I am BBS for the win! Chased that with the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Those were some nice shaves. Life is good!

Home Front-
I may have missed a few things in my journal. Yesterday was my birthday and I got to spend time with the missus. It was very nice. She was pleasantly surprised to come home to a clean house too. I also took the week off for some much needed vaca and have enjoyed sleeping late. I just talked to the missus and her daughter may try and return to work next Monday. I am real excited that the missus may be coming home sooner rather than later. She has been missed. I think that’s all I have at the moment.

 Cheeze Whiz and ramen! Oh man, you made me laugh!

I initially thought Cheese Whiz and Ramen separately but together??!  Man thats on another level of culinary delights.  Like asian Alfredo  - I'm going to have to try that.
