Shave #342 (498 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Feather AC folding SS, Feather Pro blade, Colonial “Armored” General, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Proraso Red soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Proraso Red AS, and TF Noir Extreme to finish!

Ahhh Wednesday! Tired, but the week is scootin along at least.

Pretty decent shave today. Soap is going to get one more shave in its native tub, then it’s done. The AS still has about 30% left though lol, so I’ll be able to enjoy that for a while yet.

Wife got her COVID booster shot last night and youngest got his first vaccination shot. No I’ll effects for either yet except sore arms, thankfully.

Living the #pending life! Happy Wednesday all!
I hope it was a Haply Wednesday!
 
Shave #343 (499 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Feather AC folding SS, Feather Pro blade, Colonial “Armored” General, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Steel Grey Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence to finish!

Man, I’ve been pretty groggy the last few mornings. Not sure why. Maybe lingering effects of the booster (which I haven’t felt anything really as far as I know) or maybe just in need of a break. I did have a workout last night before going out for ramen but that doesn’t explain previous mornings.

Good shave this morning though! Some nice, clean, unassuming scents to kick off the day.

We had one good half day of heavy rain toward the beginning of the week, but sadly the rest that was forecasted did not come. Some lighter showers are forecasted through next week, hopefully they come. CA really needs it!

Have a great Thursday all!

Shave #344 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2021:

Gear: Feather AC folding SS, Feather Pro blade, Colonial “Armored” General, Feather Pro blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Proraso Red soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Proraso Red AS, and JPG Le Male to finish!

A great way to finish the week! It’s Friday, I made 500 recorded open blade shaves, and finished a soap!

The shave wasn’t anything celebratory but it was nice. 3 smooth passes. Put the rest of the remain soap bits into the Clown Puke tub and I’ll fold them in later. Topped things off with the creamy sweet JPG Le Male. With my goal count reached, open blade shaves will probably be on hiatus again till at least the new year.

Happy Friday all! Hope it’s a good one!

Congrats on both fronts, Chris- the shave goal and the soap. You’ve only got me on open blades by about 470…:cool:
