I did say "almost"... you're safe for now. But I would take Chad's advice....

Leave it to the Major to step over the line.
Does he even have leg hair?

It’s not anywhere close to Chad’s overgrown forest, but it’s there.
My thought exactly. Well, not that I was thinking of his legs. Well you know. Never mind.

Shave #144 (296 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, SS Citrus & Bay soap, Thayers Medicated, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!
So interesting thing happened last night. The missus rarely says anything about my shaving scents. But when I got home, we had our normal greeting and she said “whatever you’re wearing smells really nice”! Of all things, I had used Pinaud SR AS (which I don’t particularly love) and a spritz of Stirling Glastonbury EdT (which I do like). I said “Are you sure?” I even let her smell directly from that bottles and she was like “yea those are nice”. I was shocked! Hadn’t pegged her down as in for those kinds of scents. Win I guess?
Anyway, great bay rum shave today! SS was on point, as was Bootlegger’s! Not sure what to do for my 300th open blade shave yet, still thinking about it. Likely I’ll at least try to record.
Work in a couple of hours. Should be relatively relaxed weekend shifts today and tomorrow. The floor business is almost done! I put down 4 coats over the majority of the floor yesterday, except the 15%ish we had a piano sitting on. Today I’ll move the piano and get that last bit 4 coats and I should be golden for tomorrow to move everything else back into the room as it was. Thank. Goodness.
Have a great Friday all!

Yea this one’s on rollers on a flat surface thankfully. Well...mostly flat surface; it was interesting to see how much was not flat as it looked when we were chasing strip product out of other areas lol.Just helped friends move a piano recently.............lift with your legs

Shave #145 (297 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, Stirling Mountain Man soap, Thayers Medicated, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!
A quick entry as I am just now stepping into work.
Nice shave this morning. Got to bed a little late, so not as much sleep as I’d have liked, but I’m awake at least and had a nice morning with the family...proper Saturday with the kids watching cartoons and a cup of coffee and chorizo breakfast burrito with the missus.
Stirling did the job today and as a plus I got less play doh smell than normal. Still can’t think of what that smell might be though...maybe just the base? Oh well, still a good soap.
Today is just about making things ready for services tomorrow. Pretty chill.
Have a great Saturday all!
