Shave #82 (1182 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Jeeves of Hudson St Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Barbasol Pacific Rush AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!
The day is starting out with a nice marine layer but it’ll burn off quickly and should reach near 80 today. Would be a perfect day if it weren’t a Monday!

Decided I’m going to try and maintain some kind of training/running, in anticipation of doing the Charity Marathon again next year and/or simply continuation of the extra level of fitness it’s brought.
First post-marathon (non OT workout) run was this afternoon. Almost 5 miles but mistakes were made. I started too early in the afternoon and today happened to be the warmest day of the week (75 but felt more like just over 80 in the sun). Should have waited till later. Maybe another couple hours; at least till the sun was lower and there was more shade. Still, I did it!
