If you have to do something...

Looking forward to the celebration and time with extended family this weekend...also looking forward to getting my part of it over and done. Very nervous!

Sounds like a great time, Chris. You'll do fine. Stay safe!

My last day in the office was March 16th, it’s crazy that it’s almost been 7 months. We are lead to believe all our positions are work from home indefinitely.

Yea...that’s unfortunate. If that’s your work’s solution to how to live under this virus threat though I guess it’s better than no work!

It’d be beneficial if more businesses were proactive like that!

Sounds like a great time, Chris. You'll do fine. Stay safe!

Thanks Bruce!

Indeed. Some scents he’s totally just knocked out of the park.

Rehearsal is over now...eazy peazy. My SIL’s venue included a wedding director, so that helped me not have to fudge around too much

Shave #277 (443 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Schick M adjustable injector, Schick Twin blade, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Speick AS, and Tom Ford Oud Minerale to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 202:

Wedding in a few hours. Nice chill morning though after dropping the missus off with the rest of the bridal party to ready themselves.

Great shave; couldn’t have asked for a better one for today. Double application of Speick for good measure. Topped off with some make-the-room-swoon spritzes of Oud Minerale...that’s the life

Plan is to head home later tonight. I won’t be working tomorrow but the missus kinda has to be at the services to help facilitate the greeters and attendee check in due to a major event (of the unfortunate kind) that occurred on staff this last week. She’s kinda the only staff left that has the charge of that area of operations.

Have a great Saturday all!

Shave #278 (444 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, SV/TSC Il Re Tasso d’Oro brush, CBL Aquatic Oud soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Fine AB AS, and Fine AB EDT to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 203:

Made it home close to midnight last night. Slept in till about 9:30 this morning. That felt good to do.

After cracking the whip on the kids to take care of the chores and homework they put off all weekend...I went and got my shave did. Wanted to use my Fine AB set that got waylaid last minute from being packed for the trip. I really do love this stuff! Great shave with the Feather and Tech. Made sure I loaded at least 20 seconds on the soap.

Beyond getting back to reality today, the weekend went pretty darn good. I was humbled by getting quite a few bit of positive feedback on my part of the service and the wedding was just overall a great day (despite being all dressed up in a semi-swamping heat outside for half of it). For a brief half day, there was a burst of laughter, fun, love, and joy...and in that short period, 2020 wasn’t so bad.

Have a blessed Sunday all!

This is the best. We all need moments of these right now. It's been a rough year for everyone...and any moment of fun and happiness is definitely good for the soul.

Shave #279 (444 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, SV/TSC Il Re Tasso d’Oro brush, CBL Grassroots Lavender soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Barbasol Pacific Rush AS, and Lavender/Roman Chamomile/Tangerine EOs to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 204:

Less sleep than I’d like but I’m up!

Perfectly nice shower n shave this morning. Feeling fresh. The Tech skated along today and the Wizamet has reached a very nice point in feel. I’ve kinda neglected my EOs for a while...not because they’re bad but because of my huge inflow of frag samples. It’s time for them to see a little more use though I think.

Off to work in a few...not before I finish this cold brew though!

Have a great Monday all!
