Shave #138 (290 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Game Changer .68, Gillette 7 o’clock Green blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, A&E Grecian Horse soap, Thayers Medicated, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!

Nice shave today, full of fresh scents!

Left the lather a little thicker than normal for the first pass, really seemed to help with 2nd and 3rd pass coverage. Everything was fairly smooth otherwise, though I still feel a bit of the in-shave slickness was lacking.

Tomorrow will be the A&E sample I’ve been most looking forward to - L’Orange Vert!

Headed to work soon, get to close up an hour early. Last night’s marriage simul-cast seemed to be a success, with about 80 people in attendance and plenty of happy faces leaving. Today is mostly readying the campus for services tomorrow, only a couple short events happening. Tomorrow is our annual mission fair, where each major program or mission oriented ministry of the church gets a chance to be highlighted for the congregation’s information and benefit.

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Great shave! And love the Bootlegger's Bay Rum to finish! glad the simulcast thingy went well. I can see where a lot of people could benefit from that. So...are you presenting for the Fair? I am sure there are no roller-coasters...right? 🤪 Just kidding. But I hope it went well.
 
Getting caught up. Nice stuff Chris and hope the L’Orange Verte is to your liking. If not there are others as Don said.
Thanks Dave! The l’Orange Verte is a very nice scent.

Shave #139 (291 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Game Changer .68, Gillette 7 o’clock Green blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, A&E L’Orange Verte soap, Thayers Medicated, Lucky Tiger AS, and Fine Platinum AS to finish!

Excellent shave this morning before heading out for services!

L’Orange Verte is indeed the best scent out of the 4 A&E samples received. The orange is deep and darker than expected. It’s accompanied by a great clove-like spice. There is an effervescent lingering scent reminiscent of the smell and aftertaste of a blood orange sparkling soda.

Banged out 3 smooth passes with the Feather and GC. I think the Feather is in a good spot for shaves right now, the edge is well used so should is slightly more forgiving and feels fairly smooth.

Normal Sunday morning for us; heading in early so the missus can open up the coffee bar. No chance of yardwork today sadly, heavy rains yesterday and more promised today. (Darn it ;))

Have a blessed Sunday all!
 
Shave #140 (292 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, SV 70th Anniversary soap, generic witch hazel, Thayers Medicated, Speick AS, and Pitralon Classic AS to finish!

Yea, that just happened...get the popcorn!

 
Sweet mercy! We asked for it and there it is. All glorious 43min. Have to find a special time for that one. For Christmas I want the boxed-set with 1h 12min directors cut and added commentary tracks from his wife and three cadre members.
 
Ok I watched it. I had to pause halfway through and get a soda and popcorn.

Great job!
Well done Chris. At some point you could put in an intermission for potty breaks and such. 🤪😂🤪

Thanks for suffering through it with me fellas! I’m happy it went as well as it did for sure...was expecting total disaster!

Okay, I was going to watch but saw 43 minutes. I'll enjoy in the morning. Glad the final scent was a winner for you with the A&E

Edit, starting it now.........
