Gear: Weck Med Prep shavette, Personna blade (14), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, Cella soap, Thayer’s Medicated, and Stirling Pepper & Lime AS to finish!

Nice shower n shave this morning. Today starts my work week! Going to be busy and warm; today actually will reach 100+, then mid/high 90s the rest of the week. Booo!

Gotta lot of writing to do yet for my James 5 study Thursday...off to it!

Have a great Tuesday all!
 
Shave #170 (315 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck Med Prep shavette, Personna blade (15), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Breakfast Blend soap, Thayer’s Medicated, and Old Spice AS to finish!

Well...3rd use of the Breakfast Blend, and I think it may be time to call it on this soap. Still a healthy amount of stinging with some redness going on during use. I even made a more watery than normal lather today, but it didn’t seem to help. Major bummer! Have to figure out what to do with it now.

Shave was good otherwise. I avoided a major Murphy visit during the first pass. I was a little more tired than I though and not judging my stroke with the Weck well enough; I actually brought the blade down onto the top of my lower lip as I was going to begin a stroke...thankfully my hand was light enough and the blade full enough that skin was not broken. Definitely time to swap blades though, just have to remember tomorrow to actually do it...

Working a little on my teaching this morning and heading into work early for an early closing...literally only one little meeting is going on this whole day, besides the church offices being open their normal hours. At least I’ll catch some breaks to work on my teaching more hopefully, I’m almost done. It’s going to be a looooong day otherwise...

Have a great Wednesday all!
