Shave #78 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Ikon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade (15), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (4), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, and Master Jade AS to finish!
Nice BBS shave to start the work week off! No more planned vacations until summer sadly.
Volleyball assessments began yesterday on the church campus, practices and games will begin in the next week or so. This is only the 2nd year doing this league, so it’s no where near as big as the Upward basketball league we host, but it’s growing!
Furiously trying to make decent progress on my teaching for Thursday morning. Still a little ways to go. Having enough material for an hour’s talk is no small feat. Kudos to my seminary professors who had to keep things going 3+ hours per class!
Hope you all enjoy your Tuesday!

Shave #79 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Ikon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade (16), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (5), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!
Just a quick entry today, have to get back to working on my study.
Today was my day to drop the kids off at school, so I was up early. A little bleary eyed and tired, but none the worse for the wear. Came back and did my cleanup and shave. Coming back in the rotation to the GC, I’m becoming aware that nothing else in my small D.E. selection really gives me the level great shaves the GC does. The Tech and Fatboy come close, but still are a step below. I still want to try the Supply injector and get my hands on a General, or perhaps and SE1 if I have to, but for what I have right now - GC, El Jefe, and my Feather SS could easily be the den’s trifecta.
Back to it...
Have a great Wednesday all!

Yes, thanks again John! If I didn’t find a General, I’d be happy to keep on with this guy till the mystery metal gave way.

Shave #80 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Ikon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade (17), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (6), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, and CC Venture AS to finish!
Just a quick update today before I head out the door for the Bible study.
Nice, refreshing shower n shave just now. About time for a blade change or two, things are feeling a bit rough.
I knew I was going to be in front and around a number of elder and wiser folk, so I went easy on the AS. Hopefully no one’s allergies act up. Never had a problem yet when I’m with them.
Today will be my Wednesday at work. Not quite sure yet what the weekend schedule holds, but I’ll find out at the weekly grounds team meeting this afternoon. Hopefully it won’t be too crazy!
N that’s that! Have a great Thursday all!

Shave #81 (267 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Ikon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade (18), RR Game Changer .68, Astra SP blade (7), RR Big Bruce synth, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, Lucky Tiger AS and Old Spice AS (modern) to finish!
Well whatever roughness I was feeling from the blades yesterday certainly wasn’t there today! These live to shave yet another day! As soon as the Feather blade quite though, I’m going to clean up the El Jefe and switch back to the Feather SS for a while though. Otherwise, good shave!
I almost put the Cella away today and brought out the DR Harris Sandalwood triple milled puck I have sitting...but I decided against it last minute. Astonishingly still at about a 50% tub of Cella, which I’ve well surpassed 60 shaves with so far. I think it cost me $10 to buy. My guess is that whenever it does quit, I’ll have brought its cost per shave near or beyond the $0.01 per shave realm lol.
I do love the shaves it’s giving, but I think this faux 3017 may be coming to an end for now in favor of, still a faux 3017, but a scent switch.
Yesterday’s teaching went well. Looking forward to doing it more regularly.
Work this weekend will be modestly slow. I’m excited that we get to close up early tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday!
