Shave #18 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, JoHS Turkish Bath soap, generic witch hazel, Thayerās Medicated, and Avon Oland AS to finish!
Nice relaxing morning. Got to sleep in some along with everyone else, so feeling decently rested and not quite as cruddy.
Showered n shaved for the day. Headed out to work in a bit. Tried the Avon Oland today. It goes on with a scent pretty reminiscent of Pinaud Special Reserve, but dries down much more quickly and isnāt as in-your-face with scent power. Not bad! I have to mention that, with a decent application, as I work through the day I get little whiffs here n there of the Avons, particularly the darker ones like Spicy. They do refresh briefly when I get home and wash my face. Heck, I could even smell Spicy faintly as I stepped into the shower this morning, before it disappeared completely.
Totally ready to get my 3 day weekend on! One more shift to get through.
Kidsā grandma is coming up with a few of their cousins to take everyone out to see Doolittle today. After chores of course! Should be fun for them!
Have a great Saturday all!

Shave #19 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ brown synth brush, CBL Cherry Blossom & Bamboo soap, generic witch hazel, Thayerās Medicated, Lucky Tiger AS, and Paco Rabanne 1 Million to finish!
The missus and I stayed up late last night trying to power through The Office...had to stop with one episode left for the series. A little groggy this morning but it was worth it!
Nice shower n shave to wake me up. Hardware/software was top shelf and Iāve got zero complaints. This last week+ of Vector shaves has been amazing!
Paco Rabanne 1 Million is not what I expected. Randomly got a sample spray from Macyās in the mail. Its kinda fruity, a little fresh, kinda unisex, and a bit gaudy. I made the mistake of reading through some comments on Fragrantica beforehand...someone said itās ābasic b*ā male and party boy...I must agree. Its at least not exuding āgentlemanlyā. Itās shameful when a clone of your fragrance smells better...but I have to say, I like the clone better.
Last night my clean up crew kicked booty. It was a tough push, but we cleaned up after the games and got stuff ready ten minutes to spare.
Not a whole lot in the docket today except services and a few chores. Thank goodness.
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Shave #20 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL Balsamic Oud tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayerās Medicated, and Avon Tai Winds AS to finish!
Up a bit early on the holiday day, hoping to get this flickering light issue fixed once and for all!
Sorry folks, no shave video today. Iāll do one tomorrow instead. I did use the full sized Tai Winds. I felt like it started out a bit Paul Sebastian-y which surprised me, itās moving past that though. Itās very cologne-like as it dries down right now. I have to say, though I enjoyed the sampler wipes a looooong time ago from KJ @Spider, it definitely helped with getting the individual scent notes more clearly, but the full sized bottles have been a totally different experience. Itās been nice. Thanks again @Dave in KY!
Finished the night out last night with The Office finale. Iād highly recommend the binge watch, itās just been a fantastic series, Iām sad I missed it the first time around. It captures and caricatures all the odd, quirky, sometimes inappropriate, insane, likeable, dumb, brilliant portraits of humanity and a fast-fading way of life revealed in American white collar work culture.
I also beat the missus in a late game of Bananagrams and havenāt been forgiven yet.
Have a great Monday all!

Well...
Good report: changing out the light fixtures from the cheap bulbless LEDs seems to have fixed the problem for the time being. Ultimately we still have active knob n tube to take care of at some point though.
Bad report: first drain snaking helped a bit but going to have to try a few more times a different day. This automatic snake is cool, the battery doesnāt last long though...
Off to a chaplaincy call now, then having my boss over for dinner in a few hours.
