    Thumbs up Sun November 11th - Sat November 17th

    Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
    Razor: Wade & Butcher
    Brush: C2 - 2 band
    Cream: GFT Sandalwood
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
    ASB: AOS Sandalwood
    EDC: B&B

    We had a 30F drop in temperature so the warming, earthy scent of Sandalwood does wonders. From walking around in a T-shirt 2 days ago to having to turn on the heater.
    Took a hot shower, had an excellent shave and I'm ending the evening with a nice French Cabernet. Maybe a hot cocoa before bed time


    Gents, we're closing in towards the middle of November. Enjoy the new week.

    Sunday

    Up early, but not wanting to be
    Awoken by the sound of small town activity
    Old loud voices, stating long detailed explanations
    Morning Coffee
    Walk up the mountain with the dog and pretend you're still in the army
    Push yourself
    A warm day developing
    Wary of snakes
    And weak ligaments
    Bone rubbing on bone
    And also wary of laziness
    Soft middle age
    Wary of it and fighting it off like it's a dragon
    Showered
    Warm
    Wondering if you'll die of a heart attack in the shower at some time in the future
    Then afterwards, sitting in a cane chair on the lawn reading The Book Thief
    An ivy hedge, warm breeze, green grass
    Beer
    Wearing a large ridiculous cane cowboy hat, skin browning, ageing, tanning, good leather
    Grandson playing
    Digging out the soil from an earthenware clay flower plot ‘looking for treasure’
    Judging by his face he found it
    Judging by my face judging his face I found it
    Simple treasure and sweet
    Like the shave in my room later

    I still think this blade can be a little sharper though, might take it back to the stones tonight.
