Shave #104 (273 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: RR Game Changer .68, Rapira blade, TSC 1st Anniversary Badger brush, Elite Puke Puck soap, generic witch hazel, Lucky Tiger AS, and Terre D’Hermes frag to finish!
Up early this morning to get the kids and missus to church. Kids are in choir and missus has to open the coffee bar. Today, on the Church calendar, is Palm Sunday to celebrate what is called Jesus’ triumphal entry in to Jerusalem (Matthew 21), the beginning of Holy Week.
Opted to just take in the Game Changer this morning as I am bleary eyed and thoroughly pooped. Excellently smooth shave after a refreshing shower. The GC has no equal in my den for its smoothness right now. A few spritzes of the precious Terre D’Hermes sample of which I have less than half left and I’m feelin good.
Last night after work, there was just enough light left (almost) to bang out the lawn, I think I missed a few spots as the light faded, but one less thing to do later today!
This morning I was reminded and felt blessed to enjoy the things I have. Plenty of folks have it much worse.
Thanks for reading and have a blessed Sunday all!

This is a busy week for many churchgoers Chris and I expect your faith is no different. Take a break when you can and know you are doing your work for good reasons! Nice easy shave today! And don't worry about the lawn! It will grow back in a few days!

Lol! Thanks Don!
Indeed! A free pastry and coffee of my choice every time she works (and sometimes even when she doesn’t)! Beat that Muffin Man @Dave in KY !

Shave #106 (274 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, SV 70th Anniversary soap, generic witch hazel, Pitralon Classic AS, and Le Labo Bergamote 22 frag to finish!
Already at work a little while. Got to open today as the normal opener requested the day off. Nice, freshening shower and shave this morning with the Supply and the SV 70th. Only one little nick that closed up almost instantly.
Ended up having another long day out yesterday. Kids are on Spring Break this week. We decided to spend the afternoon and evening up in Folsom/Rocklin area. Went to a fun little indoor “zoo” and hands on exploration type place - fish, ray tanks, small sharks, some reptiles, birds, and other stuff. Great fun for the kids. Had an ice cream treat then took them to see Dumbo. I did not enjoy the movie honestly, it was pretty flat in story and acting, but everyone else seemed to like it. Finished up with dinner at In-N-Out...still probably the best quick hamburger I’ve ever eaten, with animal fries of course! So in all a good day with the family!
Work should be easy today, with things ramping up in the next few days as Easter approaches.
Happy Tuesday all!

In-N-Out is a great burger, we always try to stop at one on road trips. We’ve got one down here we like even better, not sure if they are up north or not, Hamburger Hamlet.
All this SE and Injector talk has me curious, do they generally give a closer shave over a DE, or is it just a different experience?

Not heard of Hamburger Hamlet before, must just be south.
In general I get a good shave with everything. AC and Injector blades are more rigid than DE of course. AC and injector razors do seem to have an easier time getting a good shave with a little less clean up, but they can also bring more irritation for me if I’m not careful.

Games cannot be denied or confirmed at this time...
Mostly it’s because of editing time (copying people takes work lol!), my old Mac, and upload time (most of my videos hover in the 2GB range). Usually I just drop in the new footage for new videos, these took a little extra. Sometimes an upload will fail part way through and I won’t be able to reinitiate it until later.
TL;DR There are many variables.
Great! That’s my goal.

Thanks Tim! Yes, lots of upcoming remakes, not all look that worth it unfortunately.
