Shave #229 (332 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: iKon El Jefe, Feather Pro blade, Sorrentino 1st Anniversary TSC badger brush, CBL Barbershop soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, CC Venture AS, and Zaharoff frag to finish!

Looked back on the week and dang it, haven’t used an open blade but once this week. Not necessarily how I’d hoped shaves would go this week, but I guess I just wasn’t feeling it.

Definitely was not feeling the open blade today; it’s early, I’m tired and my back hurts, so I did the next best thing...El Jefe!

Good shave and I’m ready for services!

Sadly, yard work on the plate later today, but will be going to a friend’s house for a BBQ this evening.

Other good news is that we’ll be getting one of our fence lines replaced within the next couple of weeks. This side is particularly old, rickety, and warped all sorts of ways. Amazingly it’s held pretty solid though through some big wind storms (for CA) when a lot of other, newer, better looking ones have blown over. Could I have done it myself? Maybe, as non-handy as I am, but why take the chance of me screwing it up?

Have a blessed Sunday all!

This is how I feel most of the time with my home repairs! But I am getting better. I now only put holes half the size of my fist in the wall when hanging pictures!

It’s good to have friends that BBQ.



We are rolling low and slow down in Texas. Tried to get a pic of the smoke, but the camera didn’t puck it up.

You’ll have to ask the Bingo Wizard...I’m just mild mannered Chris.

See, even if you ask a question he gives the run around.........

Shave #231 (333 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC DX folding, Feather Pro blade, Schick M Adjustable, Supply blade, RR Big Bruce brush, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and BB Brut Fresh AS to finish!

Le sigh...it’s Tuesday, therefore back to work today.

Nice sleep in morning, then shower n shave for the day! Going to try and focus on open blades this week in prep for the pass around. Decent shave today with the DX, no blood loss. Cleaned up with the Schick. Felt like a Brut day, so I glugged it on!

Double sadness, summer isn’t quite done with CA yet. We’re supposed to be back up to the high 90s and 100 by the weekend. Can’t wait for cooler weather!

Happy Tuesday all!

I don’t know why, but I was snapping my fingers in a slow rhythmic beat.

Why are you slacking?! C'mon, man!

He's used to constant badgering to get anything accomplished........

A good badger knot is essential to this hobby, in my humble opinion.

 

[GearNoir]

Nooo not the badger!

 

[Majorrich]

Isn’t it Chris’ turn to shave the Badger?

Shave #232 (334 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC DX folding, Feather Pro blade, Schick M Adjustable, Supply blade, RR Big Bruce brush, CBL Roasted Oatmeal Stout soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Stirling Vanilla & Sandalwood AS to finish!

Heading off to work shortly. Early day, hot weather, and lots of power washing to get done!

Nice shave today, only a couple follicle nicks. Purposefully loaded a bit heavy on the CBL ROS for a nice, silky lather. Put some stud on the muffin with Stirling Vanilla & Sandalwood AS. Excellence!

I’ve started applying to some, ahem, out of state ministry positions. They’re literally spread out all over the country. Could be big changes coming within the next year. We’ll see!

Happy Wednesday all!

Well heck, there are only two good things about that. First would be you getting a position that helps in achieving you long term goals. The 2nd would be the BST listing of your required downsizing before moving.

So i just noticed something. Have you always been using a Feather DX or do you have an SS too?
