The Deets-
Had a nice late morning shave today and Casino Royale sounded like a good scent to go with. I also got to try out my new brush, the Fluffy Industries V2 Mini Copper with a TGN boar knot. The handle has a nice heft to it and the bottom is magnetic. Pretty cool. I went with my standard three passes and I am BBS for the win! The Henckels did a great job but was a bit loose, so I’ll need to tighten the hinge pin up a bit. Slapped on a bit of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yes it was, I really dig this scent. Life is good!

The Deets-
Grabbed a DE and the Nag Champa for an early morning shave. I may have forgot to mention that I am on vaca this week and fully intended to do a late morning shave. But for some unknown reason, the missus had her alarm set for 7:00a. She woke up long enough to turn off the alarm and she was back asleep. Unfortunately, I was not. Not in the pic is the brush warmer I used today for a nice, very warm lather.

Three warm, smooth passes and I was BBS for the win! Very nice! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Not much going on today, so I may break out a few straights to hone up. Life is good!

The Deets-
Very nice shave again this morning with a warm lather. This was an early morning shave because I had a video call with my boss and her boss. I am on vaca, but the meeting was for my annual review. I was given a glowing review and a promotion. So more work and responsibilities … yeah.

Anyway three nice warm passes and I was BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Just a chill day today. I checked USPS and it said my pipe should be here tomorrow, so I am stoked. Life is good!

Congrats Tim and hopefully a little more scratch as well

Ditto the Congratulations Tim.
