Thanks Dave! Just got off work. It’s all looking up from here...

Shave #146 (298 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, CBL Barbershop soap, Thayers Medicated, and Fine American Blend AS to finish!
A bit tired, but otherwise I’m feeling a million bucks today...well smelling it at least!
Great shave. I think it’s time to swap blades soon though, reduction is getting a little ragged. The 300th is so close though!
Off to services soon. Headed over to my parents later for dinner and a little hang out time. Should be a nice day!
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Woohoo, near to 300. I'm not a big counter of these sorts of things, but I can see counting open blade shaves as being an exception. I just tend to be more the build into a lifestyle type of person so don't think of these things.
Maybe I'll start counting soon and make my best guess as to how many open (partial) shaves I've had, idk.
Anyway have a great Sunday there Chris!

No, didn’t forget about the birds, but unfortunately they’re in a place I can’t get to...it would take a small child to get them out and none of mine are volunteering so...

Shave #147 (299 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Proraso Green soap, Thayers Medicated, and Osage Rub AS to finish!
Got to sleep in a little late today after we all got home late from the parents’ last night.
After a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll, I suited up to go find the birds in the attic. Our attic is unfinished unfortunately, and quite low in most spots, so it’s a hassle even for a slightly smaller guy like me to move around. I did find the birds, where they got in, and the nest the parents had built, but it was nigh unreachable and the chicks were mobile enough to just hop away from reach. I foresee an unfortunate ending for this scenario sadly. That absorbed about 30 minutes.
The next 4ish hours were spent doing yard work, to get mostly caught up from the last 3-4 weeks of not being able to do it because of rain/travel. I took the time to get out my mask this time, so I seem to have avoided any serious allergy flare up.
Definitely took a shower after that and did a 3 pass Feather shave (WTG and x2 XTG) to knock myself down to solid DFS/DFS+. Decided to mix the normal Monday video in favor of waiting till tomorrow to document my 300th open blade shave.
Now I’ve moved on to laundry.
Needless to say, come evening, at least one serving of some type of bourbon will be had.
What’s to say friends? Life can’t be ignored and I’m blessed to have it. Thank you to all veterans and active duty for your service. Never forget those who have gone before, paving the way and holding the line for freedoms we enjoy.
Happy Monday all!
