Monday's shave
THE STUFF:
THE SHAVE:
Had not shaved with the Chevalier in a while, so it was a nice reunion. Mitchell's performed very well, Still can't figure out why folks cannot get this to lather, as I think it is so nice to use. Everything worked in concert today for a nice shave. Finished off with the AV sport and Scuderia.
OTHER RAMBLINGS:
Apparently, we had quite the Thunderstorms very early ( around 0330 ) this morning according to @AvocadoQueen . No idea and I did not realize how strong till i checked the security camera footage this morning, WOW. Good New was that the Pooch did not get overly concerned and was fine. The Cats, of course, according to Sharon were just pissed they could not just turn off a switch, as it was distracting their discussions and implementation for World Domination. Anyway, today will be some leash training for Kona, and just cleaning up after the storm

No shave, was too lazy
11 August 2021
The Stuff:
Blackland Tradere /Wizamet
Sorrentino Coreleone / Synth
Boellis Panama Shave Soap
Proraso Alum
Thayers Cucumber
Boellis Daytona Aftershave
Boellis Daytona EdT
The Shave:
Good shave at 0530 hrs, 3 passes DSBBS and off to the shop.
Other Ramblings:
1st day back in the barbershop since May 25th. I realized this is going to be a LONG rehab. I purposely limited, and will limit the number of clients for the next month, but even at that 12 appointments today, a couple of full shave services, and I was beat to HE double hockey stick. Leg are like rubber, and can barely walk.... hopefully this will improve, and the tests in September will help alleviate this. Clients greeted me well, and I was glad to see them as well. This is going to be a long hard week.

Actually from 0700 to 1600, and that is exactly what Sharon said, LOL, Thanks Chris and Happy Belated Anniversary! So glad you are having a blast
Glad you’re back in the shop and I hope the recovery goes more quickly - I’m impressed with the full day! But take care of yourself! We need you around!
Thanks Brian!
Just a thought.

Thursday's Shave ..... At least I think that's what day it is
The Stuff:
Gillette Red-Tip / Wizamet
Sorrentino BrushWorks Corelone / Synth
Seaforth Spiced shave soap
Proraso Alum / Thayers Cucumber / Borotalco Talc
Seaforth Spiced Aftershave
Duke Cannon Randolph EdP
The Shave:
Another zero dark thirty shave today. 3 nice passes, and I will have to agree once the Wizamets settle in they are very hard to beat. DSBBS and the spiced and Randolph paired well.
Other Ramblings:
Day two back in the shop and still taking it a bit slow only had 14 appts today, but many of those were "buzz cuts" so not too bad. Legs felt much better today, although I cannot feel my feet. Steady progress. Although I referred clients to a barber colleague of mine, many opted to just wait it out since May 25th.... Which was a great compliments to my services, and also means I may have to have my shears sharpened a bit sooner that expected.. So glad to be back in the shop. Also nice to be doing straight shaves again in the chair. Someone had asked me what is entailed with my shop shaves
