Shave #341 (452 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick M adjustable injector, Schick Twin blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Aquatic Oud soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Lucky Tiger AS, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man AS, and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Nightvision sample to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 266:
Up to help make church happen!
Great shave, mild, which I’m starting to prefer, but great. Comfortable BBS with little effort. Layered on the scents again. This was my first try of Sharp Dressed Man. Pretty nice smell but it didn’t seem to be projecting, so I threw on the Spicebomb Nightvision as an afterthought.
Semi panic mode behind the scenes at church this weekend. The high school director and some of his family tested positive and one of the head pastor’s kids happened to be over there before it was known. So both families are in self-quarantine now. So there was a bit of a scramble in the last day to adjust things for today...which also happens to be our monthly Sunday for Communion. darn COVID!
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Sharp Dressed Man FTW! One of my faves! I do agree that the splash alone is sometimes not enough. I usually go for the @dangerousdon extra glug technique or too it off with WSP’s EDP version of the scent.
Bummer about the recent positive cases at church. We’ve had 2 so far at work, both in the last 4 weeks. Thankfully neither person was seriously ill, but still a little alarming for the other employees. We’ve had other branches have it run through their entire staff causing the need to bring in employees from other locations to run the daily operations. Scary and stressful for sure.

Absolutely summed it up. Things are getting 'closer to home' by the day. It is very scary.
Stay safe guys!

Yea, I think the worst part is that no one really knows till it’s “too late” due to how long test results can take to get back. By then most folks have had interactions with a good number of folks! Stressing!
Thanks Paul!

Shave #342 (452 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68 SB, Gillette Platinum blade (?), Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Aquatic Oud soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, Speick AS, and vintage Guess Men Original to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 268:
Up and at em for what should be the end of the work week!
Nice shave this morning. Switched it up to the GC .68 for a nice and smooth operator. Not sure if I have a Bic Chrome Platinum in here or a Gillette Platinum...either way it did it’s duty in a smooth and efficient manner. Topped off with a couple spritzes of vintage Guess Men Original. Hard to believe this debuted in the early 90s as it’s a total 70s/80s scent to me. Pretty good for occasional use for me. Probably not something I could pull off daily.
Have a great Tuesday all!
