Shave #315 (363 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Guerlain Vetiver frag to finish!

 
Shave #316 (363 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL ROS soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Old Spice AS, and Frankincense & Sandalwood EO to finish!

Been slowly catching up on sleep the last couple days. Three day weekends are nice; wish they rolled around more often!

Quick shave this morning after some coffee and Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. The Old Spice AS was a list minute decision I probably shouldn’t have done since I wanted to use the Frankincense & Sandalwood EO today. It totally overrode any subtleties of the EO, which is pretty light anyway. Oh well!

TSC mystery shave box was dropped off on my doorstep this morning. Looking forward to ripping into that later! Till then still some laundry to do and kids to pick up later.

Have a great Tuesday all!
 
Nice shave, Chris. Too bad about drowning out the EO, but there are worse things to overpower another scent with than Old Spice lol.
 
Shave #317 (364 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and The Veg AS to finish!

3 day weekend is over, back to normalcy, starting with normal Wednesday morning Mr Mom duties and coffee date morning with the missus!

Used my Clown Puke tub this morning which now includes GD, A&E, AOS, Honeybee, and I think a little CBL, amongst other tidbits I’ve been throwing/mooshing in there. Needless to say, it’s a unique scent, not bad overall, but it lathers nicely, is slick, and washes fairly cleanly. Also pulled out The Veg decant I’ve had for well over a year now...still not Chosen sadly.

Back to work later today. Not quite sure all the week holds.

Got pranked pretty good by these TSC guys! Catch up on the latest video if you haven’t - it’s on the Tube - GearNoir’s Shave Log!

Have a great Wednesday all!
 
Shave #318 (365 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and 1 Million frag clone to finish!

That’s right @Dave in KY and @NurseDave , I used something from the box! So neener neener. The frag clone is pretty soft, probably could be considered unisex. It’s mostly a synthetic vanilla/tonka kind of scent I think. Goes ninja mode after about 10 minutes.

Good shave today after what ended up being a tiring night. The coworker that was supposed to come in to help close up ended up re-tearing an elbow tendon somehow, so he stayed home instead after a dr visit and cortisone shot. Thankfully the worker who was on from a bit earlier in the day was able to stay a tad later to make sure things didn’t get left too messy. Still worked the last couple hours by my lonesome though.

Busy work weekend ahead, hopefully nothing too late like last week though!

The real Mystery Pass Box should be delivered some time today...or so @NurseDave says...if we can believe anything that guy says anymore... :p

Have a great Thursday all!
