If you have to do something...

I think summer has hit everywhere now. We have been in the 90s for several weeks now...and it is unseasonably warm for even us. Usually at the middle to end of may we are in the high 80s...but we have been solidly in the mid 90s with an outlier or two in the upper 90s (and one day almost 100). I live in the wrong state to hate the heat!
 
Shave #152 (300 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Fatip Piccolo, Shark blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Cella soap, Thayers Medicated, and BB Brut Fresh AS to finish!

Pulled out the Piccolo today and loaded up a Shark that I got from Chad for a first use. It was a little tight here and there when it hit dense growth, but a middling blade over all. I’ll put it in the GC eventually for a little more of a fair assessment.

Off to work soon...well to the church anyway, where my son and his volleyball team will be finishing their tournament. Apparently they lost their first game this morning (they won both last night) so they’ll be playing for 3rd this last match, out of 8 teams. Pretty good standing! Work starts after that...ie - clean up, lol.

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Shave #153 (300 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Fatip Piccolo, Shark blade, TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, SV 70th soap, Thayers Medicated, SV 70th AS, and CL Lavande Poivre frag to finish!

I woke up feeling achy and unrested, so fresh and clean is the name of the game today!

Continued use of the Piccolo/Shark combo. The shave lasted quite a while yesterday and was a bit smoother today, but still not quite a winning combo for comfort.

I so enjoyed my last use of SV 70th soap/AS that I decided to revisit it today. I had tucked away the AS sample in a ziplock, so it was still good to go this morning thankfully. Finished it off with Lavande Poivre...excellent combo for a warm day!

Off to the later service today since we slept in a bit. A couple of meetings later, but should be a nice hang out day otherwise. My hands are tied for yardwork today “unfortunately” as last weekend’s yardwork has my bin busting at the seams. Fortunately tomorrow is the pick up.

Weck should be delivered tomorrow...going to try and find some blades today.

Have a blessed Sunday all!

They ended up having Fromm, Personna, and some type of Feather hair shaper. Ended up picking the Personna since they appeared to have clipped corners.

Rest up my man!

I'm finally going to try some SV soap this week, after HandlebarDave's tutorial I'm really glad some came my way.

I don’t see how anyone could be disappointed with an SV soap! Hope you enjoy. Looking forward to seeing the report!
