Video was recorded this morning, but the missus nabbed the computer on her way out, she may have it the rest of the day.

Bad blades and bad results. I never understand you guys trying to make 'em work. Life's too short, and there are an abundance of good blades that are readily available to give good results. 🤪

Shave #162 (307 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck MP, Personna blade (7), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush by Sorrentino, SV 70th Anniversary soap, generic witch hazel, Thayers Medicated, and SV 70th AS to finish!

Just a quick entry, off to work soon.

Important day for a reason outlined in my video yesterday (which is just getting posted today, sorry!), so I kept to the good stuff and was rewarded with a great, hassle free, comfortable shave.

Should be the last 100+ degree day for the week before settling into the mid/upper 90s. I have to stay as fresh as possible for my meeting later, so that should prove an interesting balancing act.

Have a great Tuesday all!

This. Man, it's hotter that here. But our humidity is 80% in 10pm.

Eww! High humidity is the worst! I remember visiting the East Coast of the US during the summer where it can reach that humid. It’s like you’re taking a bath in sweat the minute you walk out the door!

Shave #163 (308 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck MP, Personna blade (8), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, LNHC Amber & Tobacco soap, generic witch hazel, Thayers Medicated, and Fine Platinum AS (old formula) to finish!

Pretty nice shave today, though I felt I had to do a lot of buffing with the Sputnik. Today I went with the impulse grab of LNHC Amber & Tobacco and it actually made a pretty good match with Fine Platinum I think, though the A&T is a little sweeter. This bottle of Fine Platinum I’ve had sitting around for a while, but never used; it’s their older formula. The rumors are true, way more menthol off the top and in the face feel, so much that it kind of masks the Aventus clone scent for a minute or two. The scent might be a touch less peppery and not quite as strong as the newer formula, but still a winner! I may switch to using up this bottle first; and the older square bottles have a removable flow restrictor and are reusable, double bonus!

So the interview went well last night. They had a lot of tough questions to ask. Junior High ministry May seem like all fun and games on the outside, but you’re taking care of people’s kids, budding members of the church; there’s a lot of responsibility there. I did ramble some (no surprise there right?), simply because of my nature as an introvert and being put on the spot, but I think I walked the line between being honest about my practical abilities while selling myself a little bit pretty well. I don’t want them to think I’m something I’m not; I knew all of the panel anyway, so they’d have a clue if I were being false. They’re hoping to have someone in before Fall programs start back up, but they have a good number more of interviews to do, so it’ll be at least a month before I hear any news as to next steps or lack there of. I remain hopeful!

Have a great Wednesday all!
