Shave #97 (273 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot mild plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Scheermonnik Delfts Wit soap, generic witch hazel, and Myrsol Formula C AS to finish!
Luckily I took care of trying the Supply 3-dot plate earlier in the week, cause I needed a mild shave today; my face is quite raw from the mass slayings of tissue yesterday. Sleep was rough and still quite under the weather today.
Shave went well though. I didn’t do but a little bit of cleanup under the chin. The plate is definitely the mildest of the 3, felt near Tech level mildness most of the shave, the blade clips are quite noticeable (felt on the face) on this one, but still smooth. I’m probably low BBS, mostly BBS/DFS border today. I’m OK with that!
The smoky, berry scent of the Delfts Wit was welcome today, as was the violet candy goodness of the Myrsol. The soap did burn my chapped areas a bit. Overall a nice shave though. Once the witch hazel and Myrsol absorbed, they actually calmed my skin a little.
Been keeping up on my allergy tablets and popping DayQuil/NyQuil tabs to remain functional since yesterday morning, otherwise I’d be completely debilitated. Can’t call in to work either since we are down a person, one of the part timers off to do something different.
I did get a nice little raise notice yesterday. Not much in the scheme of things, but it’s nice to be recognized that way.
Have a great Thursday all!

Nice on the raise and recognition. Curious to see if you like the supply better with some Schick blades

Congrats on the raise Chris! I've been getting hit by allergies pretty bad this week too. Hopefully you get over it soon!

Shave #102 (273 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot mild plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, SS Citrus & Bay soap, generic witch hazel, and Bootlegger’s BR AS to finish!
Realized my shave count was way off today, I haven’t skipped a single day of shaving so far...fixed.
Bay Rum-ed it up this morning! Shiver me timbers it was a nice shave. Everything felt smooth and hydrated this time and end result with the 1-dot plate is much improved over yesterday.
Yesterday ended up being super busy at work, today will be no exception. Today are volleyball games on one end of the campus and a large choral concert on the other. Can’t believe almost another week has passed!
Have a great Friday all!

Lol it’s not like mega church huge, but it’s got 7 major buildings, parking, and some landscaping. For where we are in the established part of Sac, near Sac State, it’s a good sized property.

Shave #103 (273 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot mild plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, SC Commitment soap, generic witch hazel, and Pitralon Classic AS to finish!
I am so tired this morning! Yesterday wasn’t just busy, it was a monster evening as the concert got underway. College age and high school choirs, many more bodies than we though singing and in attendance, started 30 minutes late, left a giant clean up...ugh!
That’s enough about that. Today’s a new day and I get to go in early and close early. Except for getting the campus ready for services, it should be an OK day.
Shave went well. I pulled out another seldom used soap, the SC Commitment, a nice, pretty much one note wood/sandalwood. Not nearly on the level of SV (both being vegan) but still a good soap.
I’m really enjoying this 1-dot plate; I think it might be the plate I use most often. The Supply blade has mellowed out quite a bit and is, dare I say it, comfortable even? I think the plate has a hand in that too.
Off to the grinder soon!
Have a great Saturday all! Pour a little extra for me this evening!
