Shave #108 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Gillette Platinum blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Hipster soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Stirling Hipster AS finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 33:
Up a bit early this morning to get the kids going and whip out a shave. Decided to go the Hipster/no frag route and ditch the Shark blade in favor of a Gillette Platinum...waaaay better.
Then it was off the the LGS to finish up DROD and FSC paperwork...I guess I passed the FSC cause he handed me the print out card lol...me being me I’d have liked to know how many I missed/what I missed if anything, but oh well! Then it was over to the Post to get Gus’ sample atomizers mailed back, then to the grocery store for a couple necessities while we wait for our online order to come in (which I’m not entirely convinced is a better option except the fact it’s delivered...they don’t let you know what they didn’t have or any substitutions made until it’s in your hands)...then a quick-ish wait at Starbucks for a caffeine fix for the missus and me.
Looking forward to getting into the Zoom call later!
Have a great Friday all!

"I NEED NurseDave's Energy"
I am still shocked by how much I enjoyed the Hipster scent from Stirling. The aftershave really brings everything out.

I love how long it lasts too. Very much like a cologne strength RR splash! I can sniff my hands almost all day!

Shave #109 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable ‘jectah, Schick Twin blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, SV 70th soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, SV 70th AS, and Guerlain Vetiver to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 34:
Chill day, with almost nothing on the to-do list except a couple easy chores.
Woke up naturally, cleaned up and shaved; the oldest gets his second shave some point later.
Yep.
Have a great, hopefully chill, Saturday all!

Are you going to have him stick with the same set up as last time?
GearNoir
“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
May let him at least pick a soap/splash scent this time. Same razor/blade as last time though while he’s learning.

I know he has sensitivities, What are his wheel house scents he likes? Hipster ?
Patelliott
"I NEED NurseDave's Energy"
Definitely gotta go with a matching aftershave!
GearNoir
“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
I let him smell about 6 different soaps. The ones he liked were fresh and/or citrusy, Hipster was among them, he decided to go with SV 70th in the end. I let him use the AS too. He also got his first nick...actually took it pretty well!
Patelliott
"I NEED NurseDave's Energy"
Very nice choice! Not the nick part, but all that means is he'll be a pro in no time!
GearNoir
“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
Sorry, he can’t be a pro until he has a job and can buy his own SV
Instead of watered down whiskey bottles. You'll have to watch out for your AS and Colognes

“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
Yea! Not sure which might be worse!Instead of watered down whiskey bottles. You'll have to watch out for your AS and Colognes
Thanks Tim!

Maybe that's why my dad didn't wet shave...he picked the cheaper option
