SaTURDay's SOTD:
Prep - Hot shower with Tesori D'Oriente "Kashmir Sandalwood and Vetiver"
Razor - Bonsa Viennese
Brush - Omega 80265
Soap - Proraso Red
Alum - Razorock
Aftershave - Clubman
Balm - Nivea Double Action
Moustache wax - Honest Amish Heavy Duty Beard Balm
Scent - Tesori D'Oriente "Legno di Guajaco"

I haven't really needed the alum lately except to tighten up until today. I had a few weepers, lesson learned: don't bench heavy before you shave.

As you can see, the outdoors are... Outside because it's snowy and cold here!

Got a nice overcast Arizona day that means cool (jacket-wearing) temperatures and a "cool" light for photos...
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

Thank You Sir! You wouldn't believe the trial and error patience I have for such tedious tasks! All I have is a bunch of ideas in my head and a cell phone. I've been known to take no less than two dozen pictures to pick one that works! I guess that's from being able to sit and stare motionless through a telescope for hours on end.
