My mom had suggested I try taking melatonin to help me sleep better. I’m interested to see how it works out for you...in other words, I’ll let you be the guinea pig 😂😂😂

My wife regularly takes some melatonin pills when she's having trouble falling asleep and swears by them. Hoping it helps you Chris!

Thanks! I could use some better REM sleep!
 
Shave #70 (457 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Schick Twin blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Atelier Vanille Insensee to finish!

Well maybe it was the melatonin gummies or maybe it was just a random occurrence but I actually remember some of my dreams from last night. That hasn’t happened in a long time! Was a bit more groggy on wake up though. More science required!

Great cleanup n shave this morning. Ready for my shift. I do have to work tomorrow unfortunately and only have one day off before another work week.

Have a great Thursday all!
 
Shave #71 (457 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: RR GC .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Lucky Tiger AS, and vintage RL Chaps to finish!

Gummies again! Remembered that I had dreams again (though I didn’t remember what they were quite as well)! Kind of exciting.

Great shave this morning to kick off my last shift for this block of days. Reached some daylight on this Money tonsorial for the 3rd time. Still a good number of shaves to go but I’m nearing the home stretch. I think my old, neglected tub of Proraso Red might be up next, once this tub is finished.

Let’s get er dun!

Have a great Friday all!

You're starting to get it, my friend. 3017ing is liberating. And once you're done with the Proraso, you'll discover that with it and the Money puck gone, you have room for two new soaps! It's like magic, or something.
 
Shave #72 (458 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Folding Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68 SB, Astra SP blade, SV/TSC Il Re Tasso d’Oro brush, SV 70th soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, SV 70th AS, and Guerlain Vetiver to finish!

My one day off today; making the most of it!

Nice sleep in, then a slow morning out for coffee and a walk with the missus.

Great afternoon shave to cap the morning! Squeezed in an open blade shave. Seemed like I’ve gotten less and less of these over the last year. Sad but with the morning work schedule, razors with safety bars have just been far more convenient for the routine and morning grogginess. Went for a full on luxury shave today though with SV products. Bellissimo!

Rest of the day? Chill with the family.

Hope you’re all having a great Saturday as well!
 
I've had one of those chill days myself today, and it has been fantastic. You can't go wrong with some 70th!
