Thanks Eric!
I wish!
Yep...Spring weather lasted all of a few weeks lol. Hopefully we have a few more rains coming.
Soon enough, well too soon maybe, we’ll be there too.
You stink!

Shave #109 (276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Tabac soap, Bay & Aloe witch hazel blend, and Pinaud Cluman Fresh home blend AS to finish!
Enjoying my selection of razors right now. Another great shave today.
Decided to pull out another classic that hasn’t seen use in many months...Tabac! It’s not my favorite scent but I’m not drastically abhorred by it like some. The performance is pretty darn good for a classic - great cushion, decent slickness, and near elite post shave feel.
Used more of the aloe/BR/Osage/witch hazel blend today, the bay rum is just getting lost sadly, even the Osage is minimal. I think I’ve nailed down the scent though...it smells much like generic witch hazel did the first weeks I used it daily. It has a very earthy, dirt, plant extract kind of scent. Witch hazel has since become scentless to me for the most part, but this mix has brought it back. The hint of Osage and BR to help temper that. It’s certainly bearable for the face feel I’m getting, and the scent is not lasting beyond 10 minutes or so. Going to keep increasing the Osage/BR components to continue testing.
Finished the shave off with a heavy Don-sized glug of my Pinaud Fresh mixture. Excellence!
Good Friday service this evening at work...but pretty slow up until that point, only a couple other meetings. Wore shorts to work for the first time yesterday. The weather for the next week is supposed be sunny and mid 80s...sigh. Love shorts, hate summer weather.
Have a good Friday all!

I guess that’s easier to do in California. You’ll never catch me wearing shorts out here in the winter! I also don’t mind the heat and hate being cold lol.

Shave #110 (276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot plate), Supply blade, TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, DRH Sandalwood soap, Bay & Aloe witch hazel blend, Old Spice AS (modern), and Stirling Glastonbury EdT to finish!
Already at church the last 2 hours, doing the work before work.
This morning is our annual Easter Egg hunt, where hundreds of kids and their families come to enjoy crafts, food, bounce houses, and of course...egg hunts!
Nice, quick shave this morning after a refreshing shower. Old Spice day!
Couple more hours to go here, a quick jaunt home, then right back to get everything ready for the multiple Easter services happening tomorrow.
I’ll be quite ready for a dram of bourbon come quitting time!
Have a great Saturday all!
