If you have to do something...

Sounds like a great weekend. And OT Hell week for the w … oh wait.

Yep, you can say it…it’s definitely FTW! Going from an active, physical job to sitting at the office half a day hasn’t done me any favors!

Dude, get your sweat on. But fair warning, if you start shopping at Lululemon, that's another ding on the man card.

All the official OT clothing is made by Lululemon so…not sure how much choice I have

Shave #293 (459 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, Tactonic blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL Steel Grey Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!

Survived another workout yesterday…though I’m feeling it a little today! It ended up being “Row for Ransom” which included rowing for distance, various floor reps, and running for distance. Definitely easier than Burpee day, but still tough! Today will be day 3 after work, then I’ll be over half done!

Great shave this morning. Decided to pull out the OG Fine Platinum formula and EDT for use. Hoooo that OG formula menthol hit is intense! Great “power scent” set to put some legs in this Wednesday morning though.

Hope you all have a good one!

You know, for only $5/hr fee, I would be willing to beat you with a broom handle.

Tactonic blade,

Ummm what? I usually skip over the shaving stuff of posts to see the interesting stuff. Decided to take a look and stumble on this. Never heard of one.

They’re the injector blades that are given with the Parker Adjustable. They look just like a generic Personna dispenser, but they feel marginally more comfortable. Chinese Schicks are still the best!

Shave #294 (459 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, Tactonic blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Proraso Red soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Proraso Red AS, and RL Ralph’s Club to finish!

Hell Week is over half way done for me! 3 classes down, 2 to go. My biceps are killing me today! Yesterday’s work out was run-to-row but was the floor/weights exercises that hurt. Thankfully after tonight’s class I’ll get a days break before my last one Saturday morning.

Good shave this morning, working down the Proraso Red a little more. RL Ralph’s Club was a decent, generic woody follow up.

Have a great Thursday all…almost there!

So ummm, what happens after that?

Pizza, chips, cookies, and soda pop.

Odd routine to do in spandex pants, but I could get down with that.

So ummm, what happens after that?

I get my cool shirt…then, after a week or so break, it’s back to a routine of twice a week classes.

Pizza, chips, cookies, and soda pop.

Oh, there will be some celebration for sure!

Great shave! How do you like the Parker Injector? It looks like a fantastic razor!

Hah! I should have expected that one!

Peanut butter works too, dogs like that. That will help with the wind sprints.

Shave #295 (459 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, Tactonic blade, TH Taurus A synth brush, CBL Steel Grey Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, RR The Stallion AS, and JPG Le Male to finish!

Still alive! 4/5 done with Hell Week. I get a break today and then tomorrow morning is my last class FTW and the t-shirt! Due to cumulative impact of the last few days on my body, last night’s class was probably the second worst of the week. Non-stop floor exercises, non-stop tread (all outs with short baseline recovery), and a rower/weighted squat with shoulder press/and a short recovery. Still hurts to extend my arms fully lol.

Good shave this morning to wrap up my week with the Parker Adjustable. Really enjoyed my use of The Stallion last week so I did it again! Complimented with JPG Le Male for a nice, creamy elevation of its base scent, still leaving room to sniff those spicy top notes.

Have a great Friday all! One more push to the weekend!

How do you like the Parker Injector?

Sorry Brian, totally forgot to address your question. It’s a great modern injector razor! It does have 2 issues - first it’s highest setting, 5, should have been it’s middle setting…it’s a very mild shaver and I pretty much keep it cranked up 100% of the time, a decent BBS is achievable for me though after I got some practice with it. Second - the geometry of the end tabs of the razor contribute heavily to its mildness; the tabs stick out slightly past the cutting plane, so the edges of the cutting plane are not as efficient as the center. If those issues were fixed, it’d probably be a modern day Schick M equivalent! Still a really nice investment I’d say.
