Shave #199 (323 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding shavette, Feather Pro blade, Schick Adjustable, Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!

Needed the Oud today!

Loaded a fresh Feather Pro into the SS and went to work on my stubble. Took it nice and slow, feeling some apprehension, ended up skating the blade easily over a nice, light but slick lather. You could feel the hairs pinging off and hear the satisfying sound of stubble being escorted off the facial premises. Cleaned up with the Schick for a bloodless BBS.

Off to work soon, chilling at home with the doggies until then. Hope my bingo prize makes it to the door before I have to leave, it’s out for delivery! Later tonight after work, since I’m off early, I’ll probably go hang with the family a couple hours before heading back home (only live about 15 minutes from where the festival is at).

Have a great Friday all!
 
Shave #200 (324 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding shavette, Feather Pro blade, PAL Adjustable, Supply blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Blueberry Muffin soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pinaud Vanilla AS to finish!

Off to work soon for an early day, then who knows what else!

Nice shave this morning with the CBL, though I must be honest, I got a little tingling again; nowhere near as much as Breakfast Blend or LNHC Amber & Tobacco though thankfully. Two passes with the Feather with on little follicle nick, and last pass with cleanup on the PAL. Capped things off with a healthy dose of Pinaud Vanilla and I’m ready to go sweat it out at work!

Festival was off to a good start yesterday. After work today, I’ll be heading over to hang out a bit. I still get the duty of taking trips to tend the dogs throughout the day though tonight and tomorrow...yay me. Haven’t been able to grab any of the food vendors’ goodies yet. Hopefully tomorrow!

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Someone please give Gear some spam masubi, kalua pork and macaroni salad!!!! Don’t torture him with the smells alone!

Come on man, get the priorities straight and hit the food vendors already!
I know right?! I thought my wife loved me, she hasn’t saved me a single speck of rice from even one plate lunch...

I’ve been working days, otherwise I’d be all over it myself! I should have my glory day tomorrow.
 
Shave #201 (324 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette Slim Adjustable, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, Elite Puke Tub soap, generic witch hazel/aloe mix, Fine American Blend AS, and Fine American Blend EdT to finish!

Nice routine this morning, probably about as good as can be had for a travel shave!

Brought the Slim for the overnight, which I haven’t used in a while. It’s a bit more blade feel and less smooth for me than the Fatboy, but it’s a nice travel shaver. Whipped up a most excellent lather with the Puke Tub, topped things off with the timeless scent of Fine AB, and I’m golden!

Long night last night hanging out with the family and enjoying the usual Saturday night “impromptu” jam/dance session. So I’m still a little wiped, but the missus has to be out early to go schmooze the vendors (that’s a bit part of her responsibilities at the Festival). Then, around 10, we’re off and running through the afternoon for the last leg of the competition.

Have a blessed Sunday all!
