If you have to do something...

I heartily agree!

I was going to tell you to shush, but then I remembered the winters you get...so I guess this is kinda like summer for you lol.

I did a bike ride to Acadia and Cadillac Mountain and remember a good amount of heat on that ride......

I need to move to a less harsh environment.

After a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll

You do know your name is Chris not Dave right?

Thanks Chad! There are a few things a Dave does right - bourbon, coffee, and baked goods.

Shave #154 (300 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette Fat Boy, Shark blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Morning Blend soap, Thayers Medicated, and Man Dom AS to finish!

Waited till mid day on the off chance the Weck might show up early...no dice. I like to have my shave in by mid day or before, otherwise I feel like I’m faced with the choice of 1) doing only 2 passes so I don’t ruin the next day’s shave but having to deal with DFS, or 2) doing a full 3 passes and hoping for the best the next day. I usually end up picking 1, but neither are ideal.

Brought the CBL Morning Blend back out for a second shave. Semi positive report - today’s reaction was about half of last time’s. The tingling and burn didn’t set in till about half way through the second pass, just on the cheeks and corners of the upper lip, and it disappeared within 10 minutes after the last pass, only very sight reddening of the skin. It’s deserving of a 3rd try later in the week.

This Shark on the other hand...it’s going in the bin. It’s cutting, but not smoothly. Many the Piccolo shaves were too much for the edge? I’ll try another at a later date.

As you can tell, no video today. Figured I’d save that for first impressions of the Weck.

Have a great Monday all!

Have a good day Chris

Thanks Dave! Hopefully yours is nearly done?

 

[MilkCrate]

That’s good news that the negative reaction is decreasing.

What can I say, sometimes the truth accidentally comes out, no matter how much we try to cover it back up.

By the way, I’m about half way through The Hitch Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy movie...it’s a bit of a slog; I’m assuming the book is better?

Throw the movie in the trash and get the book. Book is fun, movie was the worst.

The book is WAY better. The movie is fun, but it will make more sense if you read the book first. There's also a BBC series (6 episodes) that covers the first two books, and although it was made in the 80s and is a bit dated, it's still a more faithful adaptation of the books.

I have my towel with me everywhere I go!
