Tired but I’m up! Thank you to all the little coffee beans who sacrificed themselves to make this possible!

Great shave this morning with a fresh, woodsy theme.

Got quite a lot put away yesterday at work from the outside services stuff. Gotta get as much done as possible again today so that the rest of the week is just fine tuning. Today’s my Friday though so the real test will be on my coworkers who take over the rest of the week. Hopefully it all gets done 😅

Have a great Tuesday all!

Corona Virus Official Day 220:

Up early today, relatively...in time to get the kids fed and in their classes anyway. A little bit of breakfast, a cup of coffee of course, and the day is started!

Great shower n shave! I contemplated bringing the Feather out for the week but then my Vector looked at me with sad puppy eyes...it’s been a few weeks at least! So Vector it was! Even the Feather Pro that was beginning to be questionable in the SS, behaved for it’s use in the Vector today. Such a wonderful razor!

I still want to find the original brass General at some point, maybe get it replated in nickel like Monkey’s. I think that, with finding a suitable knot for the Graydog Steve has waiting in the wings, and I’d be happy for a while in terms of shaves; neither is probably going to happen for a while though lol, such is life! I could probably stand to sell off some of my DEs and find something new as well...out of the 8 or so I have, only 2 really see use regularly.

Thankfully it’s my off-week on yard work. So today is a lot less rushed/hectic than last week’s Wednesday.

Hope you’re all having a good Hump Day!
 
Shave #296 (452 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Roasted Oatmeal Stout soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Lucky Tiger AS, and Avon Spicy to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 221:

Nice little extra bit of a sleep in this morning.

Was perusing the forum pre shave and was inspired to pull out the CBL ROS for my own shave this morning. I have this one 2oz tub of it that’s just under half remaining of the super special original formula (made with a limited edition special anniversary Guinness). I savor it slowly because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever! Pairs well with Spicy, Old Spice, and Ogalalla...I chose Spicy today. Top shelf shave.

Today I’m kid Zoom monitor again. Mentoree meeting later this afternoon. Quick jaunt to a church volunteer thank you drive through event early evening. Then built in babysitting later as the missus heads off to class.

Have a great Thursday all!
