Thread: Sun - March 17th - Sat March 23rd

Good morning y'all! I was in a bit of a hurry to get to the dentist this morning, so my dilemma was whether to shave quickly and make it easy for the hygienist to rest her hand on my cheek as she's raking away plaque, or leave my cheek as a hostile resting place. I chose to shave quickly...

Shamrock no more. A nice clean shave and the redness on my neck has subsided. Back down to the Goatee. The lady does love Bay Rum better but I am trying to finish off the lavender so I can get to Sandalwood.
