Shave 8 of 2019:
Gear: Colonial General Brass, Feather Pro blade (2; flipped), RR Big Bruce synth, SC Commitment soap, generic witch hazel, and Proraso Red AS to finish!
Not good to start out the week already tired! At least the shave was good today.
Really nice, really smooth 2nd shave with the General today after dropping all my people off to their places. Cleaned up and even cut my own hair (I hope I didn’t miss a spot...lol!).
Today I tested the grip “issue” of the General. I kept my hands washed of soap, as would be normal, but more times than not had my hands wet when picking up the razor. Proud to report, there were no slippages, no close calls. I could see where it might be an issue for me only if I were to go into mindless shave mode. I don’t know if the nickel helps or hinders that at all vs brass; probably hurts a bit if I had to guess.
Back to work today. My days off just seemed to rocket past. I would have worked this evening with the coworker who passed Sunday; it’ll be weird for a while, expecting to see her on certain shifts but not.
Sundsy also kicked off our church’s annual participation in Upward Basketball league. It’s a Christian values and sportsmanship focused league. Some 400+ kids are registered this year, for our campus alone. They usually have a practice one evening out of the week, then a game or two one weekend day. The coaches attempt to stagger things so not everyone is on the campus at the same time. Tons of fun for all involved (a heck of a lot of cleanup though, lol). That’ll be a chunk of my next 10ish weeks though, on top of whatever else.
Hope you all have a good Tuesday!

Sorry about the co worker Chris but otherwise, nice stuff. Cut my own hair yesterday the wife from 50 feet away says,"Looks good from here". Can't really mess up a clipper job as long as it's even all over.

Thanks Dave.
The hardest part for me doing my own hair is just the back of course. Usually my wife is here to check and make sure I’m not making a fool of myself, but not today.

Sounds like you and the General are making out ok. I never found handle slippery even though it is plated.

Getting along excellently so far. Definitely the best feeling, smoothest AC SE shaver so far in my journey. This might push me toward an ATT SE1 if I can’t find one of these second hand; I understand they are quite similar.
All caught up Chris and when I mean caught up... I mean I watched 5 videos also! Took a few days to get caught up but I am!
And looks like the Dave's took over your thread yesterday. One who thinks he's from the country and another who only looks good from 50 feet.
