    10 12 2026 Second Cup Podcast

    Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Second Cup. Fall is really settling in now — the colors changing, those warm days followed by cool nights, and that first cup of hot coffee that just feels perfect this time of year. It’s also a great season for shaving: richer scents, warmer lathers… or in my case, the lack of a warm lather and hot water — stay tuned for that story. This is the time when artisans start rolling out their autumn releases, and we’ve got some terrific new shave gear to talk about today. And with Halloween right around the corner, I’ve got a movie pick that reflects the season beautifully — colorful, heartfelt, and absolutely worth revisiting. Before we get to all that, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone ‘Up Over’ in Canada, and Happy Columbus Day to folks here in the United States.

    Second Cup – Cold‑Water Edition Summer might be behind us, but I’m still getting a taste of the cold — right at home. No hot water this week, so it’s been cold‑water shaves, cold‑water showers, and a full‑on “Navy Shower” routine that would make any sailor proud. We’ll talk a little about that chilly start to the day, some wet‑shaving fun, and a classic Navy movie recommendation to go along with it. So pour that second cup, settle in, and let’s warm things up the best way we can.
