Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

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

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

Only shoes 

Only shoes?  Hmm. Pix or it didn't happen.

The Deets -
I used this setup yesterday and today. Both were very nice shaves, BBS and smelling great! Yesterday my youngest stepson had a cookout and it was just a small gathering of family. Had a great time, good food and company. Man … nothing beats a smoker for cranking out dinner. Thankfully I scored a free meal, since I squandered my birthday money on sneakers. Today my lovely missus has returned and there was much rejoicing. Life is good!

The Deets-
Great late morning shave shave today. I have been rocking The Fatboy for a few days and it has delivered. A very nice three pass shave left me BBS for the win! And man, I smell great!

Just to catch everyone up, I took a few weeks off for a staycation and it was much needed. Had some great times and good food with friends and family. And got plenty of rest before the grind starts again tomorrow. For me, it’s the simple things. I scored some new reading glasses and new sneakers recently. In the past, I had ordered AS samples from Saponificio Varesino. They recently sent me an email for a free bath soap for my birthday. Of course I ordered it. When I received it, they had also included a complete sample set of their aftershaves. Life is good!

Very nice report. Good luck this week returning to the fray.!
