Shave #94 (1194 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Feather SS folding style, Feather Pro Guard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Speick AS, and Acqua Di Gio Profumo to finish!
Thankfully traffic wasn’t too bad yesterday…still took almost 5 hours though, ew.
I forgot how easy and comfortable the SS is to use.

Ugh, so tired. Unfortunate finish to the weekend as the older dog was sick following their return home from the boarding place. A number of late night wake ups to clean up messes.
Monday, pffft.

Thanks! Not much change this morning, unfortunately. Fortunately the eldest doesn’t have classes today, so he’ll be home to keep an eye out.Awwww... Hope he (the dog) is feeling better.
I’d take that at this point. Hoping it’s not something more serious.

Shave #97 (1197 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Feather SS folding style, Feather Pro Guard blade, Razorock Big Bruce synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!
My knees are hurting some from the run. Not as bad as it’s been in the past though.
A whole evening and night without doggie issues makes for good sleep and less anxiety.

Yesterday’s workout ended up being the Dri-tri preview…ugh. That was tough.
Taking the car in this morning to get rid of an engine check light before I have to smog it. Sigh.

Shave# 100 (1200 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Feather SS folding style, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Myrsol Agua De Limon AS, and Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne to finish!
A symphony of lemon and lime to accompany this morning’s shave. Need to use Citrus Musk more often, especially as we get into spring/summer.
I’m going to give @NurseDave the honors of pronouncing the day…

Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Twin blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Myrsol Agua De Limon AS, and Royall Lyme? to finish!
This fragrance is a mystery. Got it as a sizable sample some time back, no label. It’s a bit like Citrus Musk but stronger and more lime, less powder. My guess is maybe Royall Lyme but not 100%.
Have a blessed Sunday all!
