The process-
Just a quick update today, because it will be one of those days and then some. Basically the same kit as I have used so far this week. Great results! My head is high, chest is out. Let's kick in some doors.

 
Gents, my apologies for the tone of my shave post this morning. I am better now and thought I would share a snippet from a children's book that I may write, at some point in the future...


I begrudgingly started the day with a shave. Great shave, but it was overshadowed. The tension in the air was thick this morning, it was crushing and ominous. Today was the day. As I stepped off the old wooden porch, I was filled with bitterness and defiance. I saddled up the horse, cinched down the long gun and headed out towards town. I was on a mission to see how the township had weathered this ordeal.

The oppressive force that I have spoken of, appears to be releasing it's grip upon our township. It leaves as quickly as it arrived. It will be leaving both destruction and despair in it's wake. Many have suffered and I am truly saddened. I have lost some that I knew well. Our house has been spared and for that I am thankful. And yet, tomorrow we begin a new day.
 
Uh ... the long gun was cinched and standard fare for the range. Ya know ... bringing home dinner and what-not.

The process-
TGITHMF! It's a new day ... the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Yeah right, it's overcast and drizzling. We won't let a little thing like that put a damper on our day. I was determined to rock the Aramis all work week and I did that. I did change some hardware along the way and today was no exception. The Super Speed and the Vulfix got the nod today, just because I needed to shave off a few minutes this morning and get out the door. See what I did there? With a 30 second load time,the Vulfix did a nice job of whipping up lather. Had enought for a 3 pass and a post shave.

I stayed with the standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Great shave that was easy peasy and I am BBS for the win! That right there is how to wrap up the week. Man oh man. Wrapped everything up with a quick splash of water and a drip dry. A dab of the AS and everything was right as rain! Amazing shave and I am once again ready for the day.

Home Front-
This looks like another "play it by ear weekend", we shall see. Life is good!
