Shave #269 (346 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: RR GC .84 OC, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pinaud Citrus Musk to finish!

It’s show time! Finished my teaching yesterday with time to spare. This morning I get to cough it all up on my crowd of elder congregants!

Shower n shave cleanup. Took no chances with an open blade, but I called up the GC OC for duty. Good shave, good results, and a nice light n fresh scent so I don’t assault folk’s senses.

Y’all have a great Thursday!
 
Shave #270 (346 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: RR GC .84 OC, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!

Already been up n at em at work for a little while. The normal opener called in sick yesterday.

Similar hardware to yesterday for the most part, different software. This LNHC has a pronounced donut hole now, but still plenty of shaves left at the moment. Great shave this morning of course, sans bleery eyed operator.

Had a very nice surprise visit from one of my favorite seminary professors yesterday. He was listed as a reference on my resume that was sent to the MS church, but I haven’t actually seen him for well over a year. In fact, I think I haven’t seen him in almost 2, even then it was only briefly, when we first began a biblical commentary project, which is now published. The church I’m flying out to visit next week had called him to check reference, so he made it a point to seek me out personally - he’s old school like that! Anyway, it was a very pleasant reunion.

Later today, post bill funds generating, I may get to go pic out some new suit pieces for the trip. Apparently shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops aren’t a thing in MS...they have this strange desire to dress up and torture themselves by wear blazers, even in summer weather, particularly on Sundays! 🤪

Anyway...back to it! Have a great Friday all!

Southern, closer to the Gulf. A little town called Laurel.
 
Shave #271 (347 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Kai clone, Feather Pro blade, Schick M Adjustable injector, Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pitralon Classic AS to finish!

Surprise! LNHC got called up today, but not for shaving! Suddenly found myself out of shower wash with no back up. Remembered I had the Cognac & Cuban Cigars soap bar sample from the 1st Anniversary package; seemed the perfect reason to bring it out. Great smelling soap, probably not actually a shower bar, but it worked like a charm...and was probably slick enough that I could have shaved with it too!

Brought back out the Kai kami clone for one last use. Reduction was a little iffy today, but after all was said and done, just a solid shave today! Really need to remember to get this off to Matt on Monday, I’m well past my week! Oops! Have to ship John’s razor horde back off to him too.

Early close today. Not much going on besides set up and cleaning.

Tomorrow is another 5th Sunday, so that means everyone piles into one service, then goes to the gym where a ton of tables and chairs will be set up for a potluck lunch. Usually the church provides at least one main course, but this time the powers that be decided to only do drinks and dessert, a faux social experiment to see who steps up to bring main dishes...should prove interesting!

Got to look at at bunch of difference varieties of coat yesterday. Actually may go for 2...one fashionable but very West Coast, the other more of a nice sport coat. I’m also going to fight the man and resist wearing a tie while I’m there in MS visiting. Living life on the edge!

Have a great Saturday all! Go go gadget football picks!
