If you have to do something...

I did put the jar of used blades in. I figured you always stretch yours further than me so you could get more out of them

Yeaaaaaaa...no.

I really need to watch that video. Nice shave, Chris.

Shave #319 (365 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Mystery razor from Pass box, Personna blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, Mystery soap from Pass box, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pitralon Classic to finish!

Surprise surprise...one more spray of the 1 Million clone on my neck/shirt before heading out to work yesterday and I was catching whiffs for the next 8+ hours! Not bad ’tall!

Shaved with a razor and soap from the pass box this morning to solidify whether or not they’d be a part of my picks...they will be! The razor will take some getting used to, but was a much more pleasant experience than I previously had with a similar razor I have, which doesn’t see much use. Hopefully this one will change that a bit!

Off to work a bit early to start a busy work weekend. Many moving parts. Ready for my weekend already.

Have a great Friday all!

Shave #320 (365 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Ikon x3 Slant, Personna blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Proraso Red soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Proraso Red AS to finish!

Up a tad early to get some hang out time with the kids. It was a longer night than expected last night.

Sorry ahead of time, a bit of a rant here. We’re already down a worker as one of our part timers resigned to do an internship. Another guy I work with just can’t seem to catch a break and therefore I, by extension, can’t either. It’s nobody’s fault either really (except maybe long term life choices). A few weeks ago a coworker was out a week with serious stomach issues. Wednesday morning he tore a tendon in his elbow, but was still able to one arm it. Well, last night he torn his ACL, just walking around cleaning, 2 hours into his shift. He goes to see a specialist Monday...reading up, chances are we’ll be luck if he can actually do work anytime before Christmas...and these next couple months are our busiest of the year. What gives?!

OK rant over. Thankfully we’re hiring someone, for the person that resigned, this week. Just hoping this all sorts out somehow otherwise we’re more likely to have some sick workers from shouldering the extra load.

Anyways...hope the rest of y’all are having a great Saturday!

@GearNoir if I could label it as a mission's trip I could come out and give you a hand.

Sure, a mission to save the custodians.

I may have to call you a member of the "Western Kustonian people group" .... I could sell that.

Wow, Chris, when it rains it pours.

Wow, Chris, when it rains it pours.

Indeed it does!

 

[Smattayu]

Whew, working understaffed at all is lousy, much less during a busy season. Sorry to hear that Chris. Hopefully the new hire can help smooth things out.

Shave #321 (365 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Supply blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, SV 70th soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, witch hazel/aloe blend AS, SV 70th AS, and Guerlain Vetiver frag to finish!

Bed late, up early. And to answer your question...yes, I used 4 aftershaves today!

With some solid effort, got off just exactly on time with last night’s shift. Can’t ask for better than that I guess! Got home and spent time with the missus before dragging ourselves to bed.

Up early for services this morning. I like a full shower n shave before heading out, so it’s upon me to make sure I have time to do that while also allowing time for everyone else to do their thing...the one bad part of a single bathroom gig. What a shave it was though...cruise control easy with a bevy of luxuriously green scents, topped off by 70th AS and GV of course! 70th is a little lighter and brighter, but GV actually rounds it out pretty nicely with some more muted, mellow greenness. I’m sold on GV now after this, my 3rd or 4th use. I’ll be picking up a full size bottle at some point if my EO experimentation doesn’t kick off soon. The wife doesn’t mind it either, she says to just smells like soap to her. Hahahahah, “just soap”...silly woman...
So, services this morning with a pastry and tasty coffee, a couple errands, then the kids’ fall music program performance back at church. At some point I need to get the yard cleaned up. All my trees seem to have conspired that this was the week to start some major shedding.

Have a blessed Sunday all!
