Shave #300 (355 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, SV 70th soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, SV 70th AS, and YSL L’Homme Ultime to finish!

Nice shower n shave this morning, didn’t quite wipe all the grogginess out, but was still excellent. I do have a touch of irritation on the corners of the mouth from chasing a bit...unfortunate.

Off to services for the morning! Hopefully some yard work this afternoon, that crazy wind is blowing on through. Later is just chillin with the family.

Have a blessed Sunday all!
 
Shave #301 (356 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck Med Prep shavette, Personna HS blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Proraso Red, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Proraso Red AS to finish!

 
Shave #302 (357 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck Med Prep shavette, Personna HS blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pinaud Vanilla AS to finish!

Back to the grind!

Late wake up with a nice shower n shave to start the morning. Mostly BBS with a few DFS patches. May just have to spend all week in the CBL playground!

As mentioned in yesterday’s video, it’s going to be another busy week. It’ll start out just fine, but come Thursday...ugh. Orchestra has one to two practice session, then two show evenings Friday and Saturday nights. Missus heading out again at the end of the week with the main staff, so I’m on mom-dad duty and also helping out with services Sunday morning.

Long week that’ll be over before I can blink!

Have a great Tuesday all!
 
Gear's just excited about the big solo.

I was picturing something like this....

Shave #303 (357 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: RR GC .84 OC, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL 50 ROS soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Old Spice AS to finish!

Up early for progeny school transportation, then back home for a pleasant cleanup and shave.

Starting yesterday evening, there was a high speed chase in the surrounding neighborhood that ended up with one suspect barricaded up in a house a couple blocks away, in sight of our house. They’re going on their 15th something hour of trying to get this guy out. Thankfully he’s released almost all the hostages he previously had. Craziness.

That concert I thought was this week at work ended up being next week. Slight sigh of relief, though there is a wedding and huge annual fundraising biscotti bake going on their weekend instead. So still busy, just not quite as much.

Off to Wednesday coffee!

Have a great one!
