Today was one of those shaves I didn’t ever want to end. I took a few days off from work to try to restore a bit of sanity. Going to take some time to relax w/ Coop, play some Saratoga races, and hang out at the workbench. I’m well on my way with this morning’s old school shave.
It reminded me of my tradition of a haircut and shave on Saturday morning before going to the races. Joe the Barber was the one who got me started with straight shaving back in the day. I always miss him and his shop. It’s amazing how fragrances can bring back a flood of good memories though... :)
Part of the enjoyment was from the “new” Coltrane lost album. It is incredible and not only something for completionists. It is worth hearing even if you’re just a casual jazz fan. I purchased the deluxe edition, and it’s been in heavy rotation here.
Sorry for the long winded post. Keep the amazing shaves coming, brothers! I truly enjoy each and every one of them!
Shawn (& Cooper)
