First of all stop taking showers with your friends and the clogging will slow down.
For drains I'm a firm believer in plain old lye.

Dont knock it unless you try it. The lye, that is.

Shave #45 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Feather blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Proraso Red soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Proraso Red AS, and yet undetermined frag to finish!
Welp...there went any chance of getting a Paladin this year...but the drains are cleared!
Perfectly good shave. Decided to use Proraso Red as I wanted some sandalwood today. May top off with some Blurple before heading off to work.
Weekend shifts shouldn’t be too bad, though there’s a couple late-running events that’ll stack up the last half of the shifts.
1 week left!
Have a great Friday all!

Maybe Ben can hook you up with one or two of his OT shifts!

I’m a pretty good driver. I think they made a couple movies loosely based off my experiences as a California motorist...

Shave #46 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Feather blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!
Lazy morning, till it wasn’t anyway.
Nice shave to freshen up. Went with the powerhouse (out of what I have anyway) oud combo. Glugged on the Stallion...so at least for a little while, I’m going to be that guy and folks will smell me comin!
Had a coworker call in sick yesterday and again today due to flu symptoms. That’s going to hurt later tonight in the shift, as we try to wrap everything up for tomorrow, but not much to be done about it. I could complain that it only happens during my shifts and it’s be true...but that’s because I run the shifts that have the work loads requiring multiple hands on deck.
Looking forward to the end of the night when all’s said and done.
Have a great Saturday all!

I'm so tempted to cheat on my 3017, which will likely go on until 3027, with Coconut Oud right now.
You know what to do! Long days need H2O!

Couldn’t go wrong with either! Good stronk rich scents!
Always be that guy, Chris. People might lie and say they don't like that guy, but they really do. 
It's worth trying. It smells outstanding.
Ya, go with this. When they say what you’re wearing is a little strong, just wink because you know they love.
What is this "too strong" nonsense?

Shave #47 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Feather blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ brown synth brush, CBL Barbershop soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Lucky Tiger, and Ferragamo Uomo to finish!
Just going to one service today. Not much else on the schedule except a couple chores.
Nice shower n shave this morning. Pretty tired and sore though from last night’s shift. Had to instruct one guy who’s come on just to help occasionally, particularly as I’m on vacation; also had to instruct one of our regular part timers how to make sure everything gets done and setup properly for services. Needless to say, we got out a bit late.
Decided for some spicy-fresh tiramisu today ala CBL Barbershop and Ferragamo Uomo. Not a bad combo. The spicy talc of the Barbershop can thankfully go with pretty much anything IMO.
The countdown is real! I’m already feeling vacation mode overtaking me...
Have a blessed Sunday all!
