Open blade shave #138:

Gear: Feather AC SS, Pro blade (15), RR Game Changer, Astra SP blade (10), RR Big Bruce synth, TOBS Sandalwood, and CC Venture to close.

Another quick entry today as I head out early.

Great, easy shave for a bleary morning. Typical 2 passes with the Feather and final pass with a bit of cleanup with the GC. Still practicing with the modified ATG pass. Irritation is very minimal today. Skin is a bit extra dried out for some reason, so I applied a bit of moisturizer.

Today is my Friday and boy am I ready! Still going to be busy after work, but at least it’ll be more of a fun-busy. The missus reported in yesterday evening and is having a fun time, despite the TX heat wave. Looking forward to her return in a couple days.

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Travel shave:



Gear: RR Baby Smooth, Astra SP blade (11), AOS Genuine Badger brush, La Toja shave stick, Fine Platinum AS, and MK Cityscape to finish.

Was a bit of an adjustment going back to a badger. And the brush was a little scrubby from disuse. 3 passes with the RR BS. Overall good shave, I’m a bit under the weather though. Between work and running around, my sinuses are going haywire. Hopefully it’s just a one day thing.

Happy Sunday all!
 
All caught up, Chris. Bummer that you are under the weather and can't enjoy the scent of the La Toja, which is most excellent.

Thanks Chris. Yea it’s a bummer, couldn’t smell the La Toja, barely can smell the Platinum, and with the drip works the sniffer is going to be ultra irritated tomorrow.
 
Travel Shave:

Simply a repeat of yesterday’s, though I am able to smell an enjoy it today! Feeling a little bit better after some rest, I think the body was just overly tired.

The brush was a tad less scrubby today, but I’m going to have to soak and clean all of stored ones I guess when I get home later.

Packing things up, going to have s final breakfast with the extended family, then it’s back home for some chores. The missus should be back to, landing at the local airport this evening!

Back to life!

Happy Monday!
 
Open blade shave #139:

Gear: Feather AC SS, Pro blade (16), RR Game Changer, Astra SP blade (13), BS Synthetic brush, TOBS Sandalwood, and RR The Stallion to finish.

Back to the 3017 today and back to the home den. Prep was a nice refreshing, cleansing shower. I’m still pretty tired, but if I can push though this week, I’ll have some time off next week.

It was nice to have the Feather and GC back in use. The shave was good, just one small weeper on a care area. This week will be simply working down the TOBS further and trying to solidify what brush I want to take with me in my kit for next week.

Today I put the dreaded Body Shop synthetic up to bat. It did it’s work, it’s ultra cheap, and I wouldn’t mind losing it, but it is on the worst end of scrubby and splay, and it’s the only brush I have that flings lather everywhere. Its still a contender at this point, but I’m not sure if I could deal with it’s “qualities” for too long.

I’m going to stretch out use of the blades I have loaded up so I can start fresh next week.

Ive said next week like 4 times or something now...I guess that about sums up how this week is going to be. It’s all pointed and geared toward next week! Lol!

Happy Tuesday folks!
