Another Shaving Journal

[Graybeard57]

Is this the one of bourbon/vanilla scenting or more unscented version?

It's the basic Nivea 2 in 1, light blue in color. It says "VDR debrauch gut schutteln" on the label, if that helps. Definitely a quality splash.

Nivea 2 in 1
I'm taking a chance on the Nivea: while the scent is light, it lingers for 5 - 10 minutes, so I'll see if it bothers my wife. Hope not; I like the stuff. Reminds me faintly of AV. I must thank @NurseDave for enabling me. He’s really good at that!

Welcome to the club!

Not a perfect shave today, but it's operator error that missed a couple small patches. Hardware and software worked flawlessly. Going to a gathering of friends later this evening. Should be a couple hours well spent.

That's okay. You're still new at this. You'll get it.

No shave Saturday for me. I'll see how the Kai blade handles 2-day growth tomorrow.

Excellent shave this morning. The Kai blade mowed down 2 days' growth without hesitation. I'm a lean, clean, shaving machine!

Fun to reminisce, but it's past glory It's worth mentioning the Penguins and Pirates have five titles each. I've lived here for all Stanley Cups, and three Lombardis. Missed the last Pirates title by a few weeks.

The soap is about to break into a million fragments with this brush. Maybe I'll swap the brush for something softer. I'll peruse my stable of brushes totaling about a half dozenish.
