Single pass on goat only.

I'm told that my Texas is starting to show, I said well I am wearing a mask everywhere so who cares!

Feeling great!

Cleaned the Man-Cave, repaired the dag-gonned dishwasher, put up the house Christmas lights, and finished a killer arm/leg-destroying workout.

Then a cooking hot shower, followed by a great head and face shave.

“Waves” is a super soft soap (a croap), so the synthetic brush was used again.

Great shave, baby smooth skin, and a scent that makes Mamacita ask, “Want another baby”?

Oooooo...another great day.

I started wet shaving over eight years ago. I jumped right in. Sometimes I tried to give it up, but kept on going. I had some great shaves. I had some, I need a new face shaves. I got a lot of great advice on this forum. Thanks to all that helped me on the way.

Happy Birthday!

Today is a great day.

Actually, it’s a fantabulous day!

I’ve finally made the decision to wipe the stank from off the bottom of my boot. The stank called, “Flakebook”. And I’ve gone 100% “MeWe”...the Flakebook alternative. (Google it)!

No more censorship, political bias, fake “fact checking,” unwarranted bans, anti-2nd Amendment sentiment, etc...

None of that.

Just 100% freedom.

And to celebrate my change to freedom, I’m spotlighting one of my EDC CCW babies - My .357 magnum snubby.

It pairs well with my winter scent, “Samhain”.

A fantastic pairing to start my early morning chilly day.

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Can you smell it?

Yuup, that’s the smell of freedom, alright!
