Where ya been? I’m already up and at work!

Vector got put aside this just for this morning. Even though I’m fairly awake once my shave starts, these early morning I still don’t quite trust myself driving a face race car. Used the trusty Schick M with a Twin (I’ll be sad when my remaining couple Twins are used up, don’t know if I want to pony up for more). Something a bit different from CBL too...Olibanum & Pepper cream hit the mark. Most of the shave was simply going through the motions since I was still about 50% BBS in some areas and just barley getting DFS others from yesterday’s Vector shave.

Low key day today at least. Not much going on till Christmas Eve activities. Works for me!

Have a great Monday all! It almost that day!

Gear: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Christmas Eve soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe blend, RR The Stallion AS, and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Nightvision to finish!

Little bit of a sleepless night...then a couple early morning texts rolled through, ew.

Decided to join some of my shave brothers in a Stirling Christmas Eve shave. I thought I’d be using this more over the holidays...but I got sidetracked by CBL lol. Thankfully still plenty of days left in the holiday season! 6th 3-pass KO shave from the Proline. Can I make it to 10? That’d be awesome!

The missus’ main gift is wrapped, under the tree, and providing one less worry. Still waiting on a stocking stuffer...hope it arrives today!

Have a great Tuesday all!

I'm in the same boat.. Ordered the 8th, shipped the 10th.. Last update was the 14th.. "In Transit / Arriving Late". :rolleyes:

Oh well, I can compensate with locally sourced items.. Her main presents are already under the tree.

Yea, I cut it a little close with the ordering date but still. Thankfully she’s a “it’s the thought that counts” person! 😂

Shave #7 on the Proline/Vector combo. A liiiiiittle iffy on some of the ATG strokes. WTG and XTG were glass smooth glide per usual. Finished off with some CK BE.

Tomorrow is going to be a loooong day. I’ll be at work about 12 hours. There’s not going to be a ton of labor, but lots of setting up, touching up between services, and then some take down to close out the night around 10:30/11.

For today though...chillaxin!

Have a great Wednesday all!

Great shave this morning...number 8 on the Proline/Vector combo. No iffy-ness today! Spiced it up to 11 with Christmas Eve, Bootlegger’s BR, and Glastonbury! Woowee! Spicy!

Off to work for most of the rest of the day in a bit.

Less than a day left!

Have a great Thursday and a Merry Christmas Eve all!
