Cigar Oasis died and had to remove the bottom three shelves to replace it.  Allowed me to reorganize the humi, make it look better and easier to get to my current rotation.  I am grateful I've been stocking-up on my favorites for the past year - pretty lucky given the price increases!

One of the beard care and straight razor tool hauls (with hair tonic for styling) just arrived to the doorsteps today. Two moar packages from USA and Germany are on their way to my house (Beardbrand and Ralf Aust). Can't wait to use these finest tool for beard trimming (and hair styling as well) ASAP 😄.

Where's the TV to watch Bears games?

Been pretty busy lately but was able to get back on the water and do some fishing!
Made a good lunch!  Also caught a blue cat and white perch.  Not a great day for numbers of fish but any day on the water is great!

For cleaning shaving brush, rinsing it with warm water will do a trick 😃. Hope that these tools will serve me for beard trimming 😄.

I do that for the shaving brush too with warm water.

Cleaning shaving brush with warm water is sufficient enough for maintaining shaving brush 😃.  The shaving brush I bought is Simpson's Emperor 3 Super Badger (costs $109.95 on Amazon which is way cheaper than Simpson's Shaving Brush official website), which is suitable for bowl lathering with accuracy (reminds me of single flame torch). Can't wait to use that brush for beard trimming @BrightonCorgi 😄

As soon as I get every beard care tool, I'm definitely focusing on 24:24 CCs once again   😆

Thanks @BrightonCorgi. I'll be definitely be handsome as ever as long as I groom myself constantly 😎. Even better, a female barber told me my beard trimming skill is absolutely fantastic 😆.

Oh, it'll be there.  I can't bring myself to spend the crazy big bucks on a "weatherproof" TV since I'll be crazy pissed off when it inevitably fails.  Wife Ok'd mounting a TV on the wall of the house but I think that would look like crap which is certainly a weird turn of events.  I've got my 48" garage tv with a wireless cable box that I can plop out there on a table whenever I want.

I received the package from the Beardbrand in this morning. Its Old Money scent made me think as if I'm in the cigar lounge and old mansion, since Old Money smelled like CCs; Oak Bourbon; Leather; Citrus; Cedar; Mahogany; Leather; Cohiba Honey; Woody; Floral (Cohiba, Upmann, and Ramon Allones mashed up together in terms of CCs). I really like their Old Money flavor and I'm definitely wear Old Money beard products everyday including visiting cigar lounges for Kimfessions Series Virtual Herffest 😆.

Unfortunately, the top layer of Old Money Utility Balm seems to be crystallized due to high heat (Shea Butter is heat sensitive and it becomes crystallized if it's left in the high temperature environment). So, I had to melt it with hot water and leave it in fridge for a couple of hours in order to remove crystallization (Beardbrand suggested that method for solving grainy balm on their Youtube channel). The crystallization on balm doesn't mean it's unusable, but I just wanted to ensure its texture is smooth as silk as it supposed to be 😄.

Note. I'm surprised that they gave a freebie grooming note, which I didn't receive it when I ordered their products in 2016 (back then Beardbrand was a small company with Silver Line products and beard tools only unlike nowadays). Also, the design of their Beard Oil is totally different from the past (the old version has wild-west vibe medicine bottle).

Roasted some peppers and onions to add to fresh veggies. Everything is from the garden except for the lime. My wife made homemade chips to go with it. Turned out great!

We’re renovating/restoring our bathrooms and I got the first one back up and running just in time - the other one on the main floor gets demolished Monday. This one isn’t quite done, needs paint, vanity hardware, and a few other odds and ends.

Purple is my wife’s favorite color 😇

Looks great. Let it rain. Let it snow. Enjoy the new space
