The Deets -
So I think I mentioned that I am doing a staycation this week. Enjoying late morning coffee, and shaves, and just taking what the day brings. Yesterday was just off. It was my birthday and every year my mom would call and sing Happy Birthday. She carried a tune about like a Blue Tick Hound, and I often threatened to send her to voicemail. But I missed not getting that call yesterday.

Today Windsor sounded good, so it got the nod. Had a great three pass shave and walked away BBS for the win! Man I smell good. Today the missus and I knocked out a few errands and stopped by to visit with my dad. A nice, casual day. Life is good!

Happy Birthday Tim!

Happy Birthday Tim!

Thanks Mike!

A late morning shave was had again today. Went all fancy with the SV stuff and it was so nice. And the, new to me, Manaslu delivered as well.

I had been reading that MDC could be loaded with just a few swirls and crank out some nice lather. I decided to try that today with the SV and it also whipped up a really nice lather. Can’t believe I have been way overloading these soaps. Anyway, 20 laps on linen and 60 on leather and it was go time.

I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Oh yeah! Wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! A very nice start to the day. Life is good!

Home Front-
The missus is babysitting grandkids, so Ellie and I are roughing it again this weekend. I had a Dr appointment and some errands to run today. I also stopped and picked up a new pair of New Balance with my birthday money. This week went by way too fast.

Quite the wild man there Tim. Blowing all your birthday money on new sneakers.

But he did not say what he was wearing...

That’s just the way I roll my friend. I am not rich, just irresponsible
