Ahhhhhhhh...nice shave this chilly NorCal morning.
In keeping with the autumn/winter theme, Im pulling-out a true and trusty favorite, “Hallows”.
I’ve always enjoyed the damp, darker, mildly spicy and subdued scent.
The balm is exceptional skin conditioning for the face and noggin. And the balm scent is about a 5 in strength, which means a splash is not needed.
My WH Morley performed outstanding (as usual), and I’m starting the day with a strut to my walk.
C’mon, world...bring it on!

Today was an exceptional day.
After working in the HVAC field for 4 years (brutally physical work, which I loved), the wifey finally convinced me to rely on my science background (molecular genetics and microbiology), and leave my current job to restart in the medical profession.
I finally caved and agreed, and have been in school for the last few months.
I’m on the finishing end now, and there is no way I can do my HVAC job, and required hospital internship hours, at the same time.
So after some back-n-forth, my HVAC job finally released me last night.
Yessssssssssssssss!
So I now have two or three months to complete my class courses, and then get my two state certifications.
Then it’s a few months of internship...and then job applications.
So today was the last day at my HVAC job. I had to turn in my work phone, tablets, uniforms, and whatever else was employee-issued in the early morning.
So this afternoons shave was a special one.
It put me in the correct mental state after having said, “Good-Bye” to my manager and co-workers this early morning. (Great skin food, great scent).
It’s a new day in my life.

Great shave today.
Used an almost 200 year old Wade & Butcher, with one of my all-time favorite autumn/winter soap and scent.
Just blows me away how nice and sharp the Wade & Butcher I restored still is.
It’s a great day.
