Shave #75 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette Prewar Fat Handled Tech, Astra SP blade (1), Yaqi SF synth, Catie’s Bubbles Un Jour Gris soap, generic witch hazel, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EdT to finish!

566

First morning/day travel shaves are always a little off for me. This morning was fine; having the Tech helps mitigate most of the damage I might otherwise do, lol.

Breakfast completed, Monterrey Bay Aquarium next, then a light lunch, a little walking trek in Pacific Grove, then Carmel shop touring, and dinner to finish later!

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Good times Mr Noir. We’re assuming you must be waiting for your mandatory hotel shave tomorrow?
No videoed shave, if that’s what you mean. My next video on Monday will have some aquarium footage though. We ended up having to pay full price, about $50 a person. o_O

A little of a late wake up and breakfast, then back to the room to clean up and get things packed. Shave went just fine, little irritation and a good result.

We’ll have a leisurely morning and hopefully a traffic-less drive back out of the coast, since we’re leaving earlier than most normally would (the highways out of the area are 1-2 lane and clog up easy) to get the kids. The goal is to be home late afternoon/early evening so that everyone gets one last breather before the start of the new week.

Good times. Maybe someday we’ll get to do it more often.

Happy Sunday all!
 
Shave #77 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Ikon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade (14), RR Game Changer, Astra SP blade (3), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, Speick AS, and Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC to finish!

I did shave and make a video yesterday. Apologies for the delay, it didn’t get uploaded until late last night. The last 10 minutes of the video are excerpts from my weekend away, particularly the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Thanks for watching!
