Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Torrey SR
Stirling boar
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (31)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Avon Leather AS

The Process-
Well, back to the grind so it was an early morning shave. Torrey got the nod today, just because. There usually is no rhyme or reason why I pick something. That's the fun of it. Anyway, whipped up a really nice lather this morning and got down to business. I had a nice lather going with plenty for a 3 pass and a post shave lather.

40 laps on leather this morning and found that my hinge pin really needs to be tightened up. I will have to do that this evening. Anyway, went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Very nice shave and I am DFS for the win! Nice ... very nice! I may or may not have been running just a tad late this morning. But at any rate, the SR shave was worth the few extra minutes.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. A splash of the witch hazel and finished up with a healthy splash of the AS. You know everything was right as rain! Started this week off with Avon Leather ... oh yeah. Life is good!

Home Front-
Great game yesterday. I had to mostly stay at/near the house this weekend, due to that drama that I mentioned earlier. But I was able to knock out several things over the weekend. Finally got the missus into a car. Knocked out some honey-dos around the house and got to work on my sewing project. I finally got the machine figured out and got my first prototype made. BTW, the manual had some incorrect instructions. Anyway, I do need to check fitment this evening and then go from there. Most exciting.

Rules of polite society have little sway with the misfits I am blessed to work with. Problem is after 22 years. I have been desensitized to it. Believe it or not, there was debate about other places to put the 🦝.
One being the refrigerator up front of the building where the secretaries and our office folk reside.
i nipped that in the bud. A previous rubber rat caused quite a controversy a few years back.

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Schick Stick
Schick blade (6)
Zenith boar
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (32)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Avon Leather AS

The Process-
This morning I was ahead of schedule, but decided to mix the gear up and go with an easy peasy shave. The Zenith did a bang up job with the lather. It feels well broken in and soft. However, it did loss 3 hairs this morning. I did have a nice lather and there was enough for the shave an post lather.

Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. There it is right there! An outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! Jectah ... oh yeah! Yup, I was lazy and rocked that easy peasy this morning. Nice ... very nice. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. A splash of the witch hazel and finished up with a healthy splash of the AS. Everything was right as rain! Kept the Avon Leather to seal the deal again today. I'm not sure why I mixed everything up today, I usualy keep the same kit for the work week. Oh well, we'll see how things shake out this week. Maybe I'm just a bit off this week. Life is good!

Home Front-
Well crap ... my Fatboy was delivered somewhere yesterday, according the post office. However, they failed to deliver it to my house. Grrrrrrrr. I hope whoever has it will put it back in the mail. We've got a front blowing through today. It was 66 degrees when I left my house this morning and now it's 46. What happened to this global warming stuff? I was enjoying the 79 degree temps this weekend.

Shave-
J Allen SR
Stirling Synth

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Avon Leather AS

The Process-
So ... late morning shave today ... psych. Early morning shave with one eye open. I didn't hit snooze .. ok maybe I did once, but it was a late night. I don't know, I mixed the gear up today just because. The synth did a bang up job building a dense lather and I had plenty for the shave and post shave. Ya know, the feel of the synth is just kinda ... well you know.

40 laps on leather and it was go time. Went with only two passes of WTG and ATG with no drama to report. I will admit, it was not the most awesome of shaves. I really wanted a 3 pass, but I was dragging this morning. At least the two passes got me DFS- for the win! I'll take it and run with a do-over for tomorrow.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Splash of the witch hazel and a splash of the AS. Everything was right as rain! It was but, I may shelf the Leather and try another Avon tomorrow. Not sure, just stay tuned to see. Life is good!

Home Front-
So I have a research case going with USPS on the MIA package now. Still no news, Grrrrrrr. It's 36 freaking degrees outside today with wet and colder coming. Once again another crazy busy work week with several projects coming online. The drama that I mentioned several days ago crept into the household again yesterday and kept me out until 1am. 4 hours of sleep kinda sucks. But oh well, let's do this.

Gillette Super Speed

DS Cosmetic Badger
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (34)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Avon Deep Woods AS

The Process-
Ok, let's try this again. Early morning shave today ... you know it. I was kinda in a funk yesterday for reasons. But everything is for a season, so it's time to kick that crap to the curb. Mixed up a bunch of kit today and got down to business. An early Super Speed sounded nice, so let's do that. I also went with the DSC wall of badger, which is a healthy size brush. And it whipped up a ton of lather and then some. Had enought for all three passes and a post lather.

Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Oh hell yeah, that was a glorious shave right there and I am BBS for the win! That Super Speed just delivered in spades, with a nice relaxing shave that was spot on. I may have to repeat this tomorrow to finish the week stronk.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Splash of the witch hazel and a splash of the AS. Everything was right as rain! Today I switched up to Deep Woods and that was the right choice ... nice scent. Today is my day. Life is good!
