Shave #178 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Sputnik blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm brush, CBL Barbershop, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, and vintage Ralph Lauren Chaps to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 103:
Another sleep in morning. My body just can’t seem to get enough lately!
I keep saying I need to get the open blade shaving back on track, but I just haven’t opted to actually bring one in for the shave yet. Still, great shave this morning, only a little irritation from pushing it around the upper lip corners. CBL Barbershop sets a great backdrop for just about any frag. I wanted to try the Chaps today and was not disappointed. I only gave a few spritzes in the normal spots, but it doesn’t seem to wear heavily. It reminded me of Givenchy Gentleman a bit, but more agreeable to my own senses.
One more shift to close the week tomorrow, before the big day Sunday of our congregation’s first services back on campus (100 people each limit of course). Hoping it all turns out well and no one has to have their feelings hurt as we follow guidelines.
We made it to Friday folks! Well done!

“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
I don’t think I do. It’s been a long standing issue, way before all this Rona stuff. A lot of it is just irregular sleep schedules I think. Dreading it but I’m probably going to have go do a sleep study at some point, just to be sure.

Shave #179 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Sputnik blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm brush, CBL Grassroots Lavender, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Myrsol K AS, and Royall Vetiver to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 104:
A bit groggy on wake up, but I’m up!
Great cool water shave this morning. Did reopen one nick on the chin from yesterday, but it’s closing quickly. Time to change the Sputnik out methinks. OK, so the scent profiles don’t all entirely match much (lavender, peppermint, and vetiver) but they do kinda work.
Going to enjoy an iced coffee before heading out the door to work. Time to fix up all those last minute details for service. It’s funny that for “all the folks” clamoring to get back to physical, on-campus services, our signups did not fill up. I’m guessing it’s the following of the health guidelines that have kept people from wanting to come...or “all the folks” was just a very vocal minority.
Have a great Saturday all!

I had a sleep study some time ago. Piece of cake: they tape electrodes to your head, then you sleep. No muss, no fuss.
