Another Shaving Journal

Good roasting to you!

Never got out of the 40s today, so I'll roast tomorrow when it should be warmer. Drinking grocery store coffee till then.

Shaved in a hurry this morning, so I settled for DFS. You know, one of those that you know isn't perfect but no one else can tell.

 

[MilkCrate]

I did the same, but hate to settle.

 

[Graybeard57]

hate to settle.

Sometimes it's a necessary evil. I'll correct it tonight.

Sometimes it's a necessary evil. I'll correct it tonight.

There’s a silver lining. You get to shave twice in one day!

Last night's shave:

• CBL-T SIR Fougere (31)
• Maggard 24mm tuxedo synthetic
• Stirling Travel Bowl
• Blackland Vector/Schick Proline (6)
• GTB splash

DFS+. One weeper requiring a styptic pencil. Woke up feeling clean-shaven and ready for work.

Go gett'em Bruce

One weeper

It was a Van Der Beek wasn’t it...

I'm getting excited. We must be getting close to a new soap.

We are, we are! I dunno, maybe another week or so. I have no clue what I'll use next.

• Stirling Travel Bowl
• Blackland Vector/Schick Proline (7)
• GTB splash

A very satisfying BBS. This blade seems nearly as effective now as on the first shave, though with some buffing required to get the results i want. The Feathers I tried weren't as durable, at least not to my liking. I don't see myself using Feathers again, and Kais are dead to me.

 

[GearNoir]

Man, those Kais really failed you big time!

Man, those Kais really failed you big time!

They most certainly did. I binned my last one or two. Not PIF-worthy.

Shaved this morning, and will do so tonight. Stay safe, everyone!

You go with your super tight N-95 seal Bruce!

You go with your super tight N-95 seal Bruce!

Well, it hasn't gotten to that yet. Today my hospital started screening all people entering the facility. It's a good precaution.

• Blackland Vector/Schick Proline (9)
• GTB splash

New blade tomorrow, and probably a new soap as well. 3 pass BBS tonight. Eventful day at work. I may end up working telehealth from home in a week or so. The hospital is pushing to reduce numbers of in-house staff, and it's looking good for me. I can do at least 75% of my work on any computer hooked up to the hospital's VPN.

 

[GearNoir]

Aka more TSC time!

 

[Graybeard57]

Aka more TSC time!

That may prove to be the case. And a bottomless cup of excellent coffee!

 

[NurseDave]

Wow, that’s lucky man. I think many hospitals will be using every able body they can get at some point.
