Shave #39 (Open Blade Shave #247) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade (8), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (8), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, and BB Brut Fresh AS to finish!

Took a page out of Rich’s and Dave’s book today, swapping in the GC and some Brut for the shave.

So about an hour after the shave yesterday, I had some delayed irritation pop up. The Man Dom and Citrus Musk gave a good burn when applied, but it had faded away for a while. So not sure exactly what contributed to the irritation, but it lasted a moderate portion of the day. That also influenced my safe choices today. I kid you not though, that RR slant gets a close shave...most of my face was barely DFS today, some parts of my cheeks, still BBS...24 hours later!

Anyway, today’s shave was a nice and mild follow up to yesterday’s. Still a little tenderness on the tops of my cheekbones, where the irritation was, but no other adverse effects as of yet.

Two shifts left until my weekend! This week has flown by for sure!

Have a great Friday all!
 
That irritation does not sound like fun! Every time I think about buying a slant I end up tossing the notion and buying something else. But the couple times I have used one I have enjoyed it. Sounds like I really need to think hard on it. Glad you got a good shave with the Fine Slant!

Thanks Don! It’s a fun razor to use!
 
Shave #40 (Open Blade Shave #248) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade (9), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (9), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, and CC Venture AS to finish!

Just a quick entry today, as I’m already well into the work shift. I did get my shave on this morning to help wake me up. Just a good, smooth shave, no fuss.

5 and a half more hours and I’m free!



Have a great Saturday all!
 
Shave #41 (Open Blade Shave #249) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade (10), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (10), Yaqi SF synth, CBL Barbershop soap, generic witch hazel, Speick AS, and Mr. Burberry frag to finish!

Sadly, another rushed and slightly unfulfilling shave this morning, though the results were good. We were going to take our time getting ready for services this morning, but got a text that the oldest was supposed to be there early to work in the tech booth. So instead of a little over an hour to get out the door, we had about 40 minutes.

So, a quick two pass with a nice, slick CBL lather...it was almost like doing the speed shave challenge over again!

A sham it had to be on my free day though.

Typical busy Sunday at church ahead otherwise. I’m also on chaplain duty for the day.

Have a blessed Sunday all!
 
Getting caught up. Gotta get me some Spam! I love it fried with eggs. Dang, was just at the grocery store a little while ago, looking for injector blades for a friend. No luck there or at the Walgreens', so he had to order some online.

Have a great Sunday, Cadre.
