Field week during the close of Army basic/osut training. I had come in from some sort of training event and since I was not doing anything of immediate importance, but scheduled for guard duty in the coming hour, I was able to join some fellow soldiers in our first hot water shave in a couple of wee...

Well fortunately (or unfortunately), both of the parents are Cubs fans right along with me, as was my Dad. Dad endured many years of Cubs induced misery, and in his 85 years on the planet he didn't see much reason to change teams to the other side of the Windy City.. or at least no more reason than ...

Blasphemy!

I found myself short of time on Thursday morning, and just couldn't get a real shave in. My supervisor's boss was coming in from home office that morning and I needed a quick touch-up. I managed to get by with a buzz cut using a Remington 3 head electric that I bought for my 17 yo son. It wasn't ter...

Puig Quorum

Some strong stuff.... Caution on the overspray. Upon the first spray, it was rather overwhelming, but after a couple of minutes of drydown, it developed nicely. A pretty "occasional use" cologne, for important stuff like meetings or dinners out. YMMV It reminds me of Knize 10 in that it st...
