Gotta keep the lady trapped in my web some way...certainly can’t do it with my teenage looks!

Shave #173 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable, Schick Twin blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm brush, CBL Aquatic Oud, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Lucky Tiger AS, and ADP Colonia Intensia to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 98:
Man, this last week really kicked my butt. Still woke up groggy and sore. 3 months outta work will do that to ya!
Still I did get to sleep in some. Slowly got ready for the day while folks were chillin. The missus went out and grabbed some breakfast for us from a local joint. I had my shower n shave. Decided ADP Colonia Intensia was a good end goal for the setup, so I built accordingly. Not sure how long or how many uses this Twin has, but it’s still chugging along pretty decently. Could be sharper, sure, but the shave is still good.
Last week I made the mistake of washing some of the kids’ favorite, ratty blankets (cheap fuzzy thing, but they like them and use them for everything) with our normal clothes. Didn’t realize till I was out of the shower, but a fine fuzz from the blankets had infiltrated just about everything from the wash load, including the towel I was using...so I spent part of the shave now and again picking off balled up fuzz bits from off myself and remarking “How the heck did that get there?”
Watched service online. A little more laundry and lawn watering to do. Otherwise a chill Father’s Day.
This week is going to be a scorcher, with the majority of days reaching the 100s with a smattering of upper 90s. Ugh. On the positive note, as work gradually increases, somehow I got put in charge of scheduling this week, so I’ve got us finishing up our major tasks by midweek, then gave us a few days off each before the big social science experiment this next Sunday!
Have a blessed Sunday all and a happy Father’s Day to all the fellas out there whove ever lead, taught, inspired, modeled a good ethic, or showed kindness. It may be hard to hear, but people, especially youngins, are always watching, weighing, judging, and absorbing. You have more influence than you know. Thanks for being a positive role model!

I got tired of separating everything too early on and just started throwing everything in together. The only separation I usually do is keeping the kids’ clothes in different loads than ours. Unfortunately just the fact that I do the laundry is enough to allow me to keep the job, no matter how it’s done.

I don't like when my wife does laundry; she does it wrong and folds the clothes all wrong to boot!

I’ll be up your way in about a week. It would be nice if you can turn the temperature down for me before I get there. Thanks!Shave #173 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Shave #174 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Sputnik blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, Stirling Hipster, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Stirling Hipster AS, and Amouage Epic Man clone oil to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 99:
Pulling early shifts again today and tomorrow in efforts to wrap up the major cleaning. I think we can pull it off!
Still getting my butt beat by late nights and early alarms though. Shave certainly helped out this morning! Decided to use the Hipster set, Epic Man was a last second throw in when I walked back to put my gear away post shave. Enjoyed a few nice, brainless passes with the GC and cool water rinses.
The predicted temps have adjusted down a tad since yesterday. Mostly high 90s at the moment. Still not ideal for me.
Have a great Monday all! Go give it the ol one-two combo like a Balboa underdog!

Shave #175 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Sputnik blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, Zingari The Healers, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Pinaud Citrus Musk, and Jean-Philippe 1 Million clone to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 100:
Here we go again!
Shower n shave to wake me up this morning. Put a little twist on the “fresh” shave combo with The Healers soap. Much less burning today on the cheeks, but it was still there, menacingly, in the background. May need to try and trade this for a different Zingari. Definitely would be my loss not to have at least one of their soaps to enjoy. Jean-Philippe’s 1 Million clone does a pretty decent job of replicating Paco Rabanne’s frag when totally dried down, skipping that whole party boy vibe. It’s not bad!
Today is my last work day until Saturday’s light clean up for services Sunday. We’ve gotten to just about everything except for the preschool section, where the teachers haven’t yet finished clearing their classrooms from the last year. Those who aren’t coming in with me Saturday are working tomorrow to wrap things up.
Have a great Tuesday all!
