Shave #24 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Rainbow brown synth brush, DG After the Rain soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Skin Bracer AS, and Paco Rabanne 1 Million to finish!
Up early this morning for more bus duty; the missus flew out early this morning for a day trip to SoCal. She’s teaching a seminar on Volunteerism for the Presbytery meeting today but will be back this evening.
Showered n shaved on the return home. Decided to use the PR Basic B*...I mean 1 Million just to get it moved out.
Have a few free hours before picking up the oldest for his minimum day release.
Going to be a busy, busy weekend ahead.
Have a great Friday all!

I’m 2 for 2 on Yaqi synthetics so far. Both the Segrada Familia and this brown w/ rainbow handle have been excellent for me!

I picked up a Yaqi with a much better knot than the Vulfix I have. The Vulfix has a bottom of the barrel knot in it and the Yaqi is a better value.

Shave #25 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Lucky Tiger AS, and Dior Sauvage to finish!
Lazy morning, got to sleep in a bit. Darn dachshund has been waking me up a couple times a night jumping up and down to/from the bed and then when she lays down on it, she’s like a lump and doesn’t take hints to move.
Shave was stellar per usual with the Vector. Went for the Agar + Blurple combo today.
Last day of work for the week...and the busiest. Upward basketball almost all day, a memorial service, and a full on choral rehearsal and concert, plus getting the campus cleaned up and setup for services tomorrow as well. We’ll have a few thousand people streaming in and out through the day. I’m tired just thinking about it! Mostly hoping nothing disastrous pops up.
Have a shot/puff for me Cadre, and have a great Saturday all!

Might kill some of the “300 kids have been running around in this one room for hours” smell for sure!

Shave #26 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Oud Minerale soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Lucky Tiger AS, and TF Oud Minerale to finish!
Made it through hell day yesterday. No major issues thankfully, just a lot of moving pieces. Got out with only 40 minutes of over time, which was better than expected.
Headed out for both services this morning. A nice shower and first class shave upon wake up. Nothing super special going on today, but I needed some Oud Minerale and Oud Minerale I got!
A couple household chores to take care of later and hopefully that all she wrote!
Have a blessed Sunday all!

I feel like your brush selection has opened up recently. Any particular reason besides reasons?
