Right now, I’d take that! We still need water very badly!
I definitely have plenty of water!

Shave #284 (448 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, CBL Sir Fougere tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Pitralon Classic AS, and Cypress/Melaleuca/Douglas Fir EOs to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 209:
Nice shower n shave this morning. One last open blade usage for the week. Every piece played its part...even the Sorrentino badger decided to be a team player and not shed a single hair!
Chill Saturday for everyone for the most part. A few chores to take care of, a couple Zoom meetings, then the rest of the day is fairly free.
Have a good Saturday all.

Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Hipster soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Stirling Hipster AS, and Musc Ravageur Friedrich Malle clone oil to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 210:
I’m up! It’s a work day...have to go set up for Sunday morning service outside. It was nice to get to skip it last week.
Great, refreshing shave to start me off. Excellent lather and and easy time of it with the Tech.
Enjoying a breakfast sandwich and cold brew before I head out.
Have a blessed Sunday all.

Shave #286 (448 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, Yaqi Segreda Familia synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Rosemary/Cinnamon/Lime EOs, and Jean Phillipe 1 Million clone to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 211:
Ew Monday! At least it’s my Wednesday I guess as far as the work week goes.
Started things out right with a shower n shave. The Tech/Wizamet combo is still a chuggin and making shaving easy. Nice, fresh scent combo today.
It was officially announced that in two weeks, the church will be going back to indoor services in our main sanctuary. Even though Fall is having an identity crisis (going to get back to 90s a couple days this week), this will help eliminate weather and air quality as an issue for the most part. It’ll also be easier to get things going and close up shop for us working Sundays. 3 services, each with a 100 person max is what we’re looking at.
Have a good Monday all.

You must have a big church!

Thanks Tim!
It’s good sized I suppose. Our membership is near 1000 but pre-COVID Sundays we might have seen 600-800 between all 3 services.
I think our current health order is 25% capacity indoors or 100 people at a time (either with distancing rules in place), whichever is smallest.

Shave #287 (448 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Wizamet blade, Yaqi Segreda Familia synth brush, Proraso Red soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Proraso Red AS, and Czech & Speake Frankincense & Myrrh to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 212:
Nice shave this morning to help wake me up. Hadn’t pulled out the Proraso Red in a while...so that’s what I did! Such a great scent and a...decent...soap. It’s certainly not the worst.
Tired! Nothing a glass of cold brew can’t fix though. I’ve taken to making a certain mix that I enjoy - half glass of cold brew, couple tablespoons of whipping cream, fill up the rest of the way with milk, add a 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of brown sugar...yummy!
Have a great Tuesday all!

Wow, that definitely no sounds decadent. More desert than beverage. Yummy, I'm sure! I might have to steal that recipe someday. [emoji106]

I’ve come around to liking the taste of coffee more and more over the years...still can’t drink fully black coffee though, gotta have something in it. I still opt for my sweet coffee drink when I can though
Sounds delicious.
