Srsly, I figure that's how I would do it, and rely on my indomitable willpower for the follow-through. :shock:

Sometimes I'll get up and when I'm having my morning coffee around 6:30 a.m. and reading the shave blogs I'll pick up on what someone is talking about and that can also influence what I'll select that morning.

Had a friend of mine who is a professional photographer shoot some interior pics of my home for insurance purposes. She was nice enough to shoot some high quality pics of my shave den. (much better than my originals). Will post them when I receive the CD.

Love it!

I was in a grocery store once, when a kid in the shopping cart chair said when he looked at what I was buying; "Cool, he's getting the 3 LB. bag of M&Ms!" In my mind I agreed with him. I can have all I want of them, and I don't have to ask anybody for permission!

Isn't it fun to be an adult?

I've looked at that picture several times. I can not help it, I laugh out loud. It's amazing what a man can accomplish if left undisturbed. Come to think of it, I'd like to sneak in there and rearrange it all, just to see the lather you work up while putting it all back in order.

I like it!

:D Boy, am I glad I haven't submitted pictures of the linen closet (not shown in the original bath pics), or the 1940 glass & redwood bookcase in my 2nd bedroom, jammed with "back up" stock, just in case I run short. :lol:

Mother of God! What a beautiful setup!

I see a bottle of Osage Rub. I think I see a bottle of Santa Maria Novella Casa Fondata Rose Water. I see all three Skinfoods (do you like the Sandalwood Skinfood?).

Is that whole row all Boosters? :D

Would love to see a closeup of the cologne/aftershave shelves seen in the mirror.

You've got great taste and an understanding wife. Nice work! :D

Really enjoy the Skinfoods - all scents. They are pricey (needlessly), considering all the good less expensive balms on the market. Yup, that's all Boosters. Jickey is my favorite. I've attached one good photo, though I'm moving stuff around again and will reshoot final pics. Jay Trek is right about a 40 yr. supply. They'll outlive me for sure.....but the choices are fun!

Seeing what you have there, it's quite an honor for Booster's Jickey to be one of your favorites. I'm sure you have several faves among all of the goodies!
