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.

Shave 9 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Brass, Feather Pro blade (3; flipped), Yaqi SF synth, CBL 50 Shades of Vetiver soap, generic witch hazel, and Fine Clean Vetiver AS to finish!

Last night’s shift was pretty rough. I got there and pretty much didn’t stop moving until my lunch break, then got right back to it. This morning I am sore and tired, and I needed a refresher. So after dropping the kids off at school and while waiting for the missus for our date morning, I queued up some Miles Davis and melted my whiskers and some of my weariness away with a nice shave.

CBL 50 SoV’s number came up and it was just the ticket with the General. Great, soft, slick lather with nice, smooth strokes from the General. I did get a couple little nicks from chasing. The General might not be the most efficient thing, but the smoothness is unparalleled in my SE journey so far. I’m also sure the some of the “lack” of efficiency is me losing the optimal shave angle.

Should be a little bit of a less intense day at work today. More basketball, our weekly kids music program, and small group bible studies. Looking forward to it!

Have a great Wednesday all!
 
Sounds like you are one busy man Chris. They say idle hands are the devils playground, sometimes it is good to stay on the move. Nothing like a refreshing shave to find your ZEN.

Amen brother. Sometimes I imagine what trouble I would have been into if my “staying on the move” had me this pooped, lol!
 
Shave 10 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Brass, Feather Pro blade (4; flipped), RR Big Bruce synth, SS Citrus & Bay soap, generic witch hazel, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!

Rocking the Bay Rum goodness today! Excellent shave whilst catching up with some TSC videos. 100% BBS with only moderate chasing.

I do notice with the General that due to its extremely mild and smooth shave, I am tempted at times to use pressure to increase the efficiency a tad. This or an improper “rolling” of the head during a stroke are most often what lead to any irritation or minor nicks of follicles. Think overall though, I prefer the smoothness and less potential blade feel of the General right now vs the slightly more efficient, wide cutting angle of the RX.

Today is my “Wednesday” at work. Should be a nice day, load-wise. Yesterday ended up being OK and I’ve mostly recouped from Tuesday’s craziness. I’m still just a little sore. I’m also adjusting well to the new early morning Mr Mom schedule. It does stink spending so much time driving around, but it’s a necessity.

I hope you all have a great Thursday!
 
Nice update Chris. I agree on the General. But when I shave with it multiple days in a row. It reminds me it can daily driver for me
