Thanks Brian!
Yeah yeah, rub it in
No, I just rolled with it. Got a little bit better sleep last night. Hopefully not fighting something off. May have to “work” from home tomorrow

Shave #14 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL Sir Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Skin Bracer AS, and CDH Parfum to finish!
Welp…I started developing some real cold-like symptoms yesterday evening. So doing what I can to work from home today. It did afford me an extra half hour of sleep
Still well enough to shave too! Definitely the last shave for this blade. I’ll probably swap razors too…been missing using the Brass General! I’m now basting in the dark glory of CDH Parfum!
Thank goodness it’s Friday!

Hope the WFH day coupled with the weekend does the body some good and you feel better, Chris!
Here’s hoping it doesn’t brew itself into a full fledged cold!
Have a great Friday!

Should be able to…trying to work that out with my office, since it’ll affect work for the next week (or not, hopefully). They’re slammed though trying to find coverage for nurse visitations at the moment with the weekend coming up, so I’m low priority right now.
Ya, some of my staff we have helping with swabbing so RNs can come back after that 5-day window if they can.

Shave #15 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Colonial “Armored” Brass General, Feather Pro blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL Steel Grey Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Prada Luna Rossa Ocean to finish!
Well, cold symptoms really set in yesterday afternoon through now. Got a little extra sleep this morning; of course no work out, sadly. Trying to get a few normal chores done so I can chill the rest of the day.
Nice, cleansing shower relived me of symptoms for a few brief moments. Tissue in one hand, razor in the other, a pretty darn good shave considering. Topped off with the last of the very nice Prada Ocean sample. Debated going for gold by topping off with Oud Minerale…but decided that since I wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy it, I passed.
Hope everyone else is having a smashing Saturday! Take an extra sip of your whiskey pour on my behalf…since I can’t!

I am a sissy when it comes to having a cold; I’m good with pain- sever my arm - well I have another one…..being sick - I’m a pansy
I hope you recover quickly my friend - and hey, sometimes it’s good just to veg with a book or the boob tube and let your body recover!

Ooooh right, Gear has been working out and finely tuning his body (fat lot of good that did!). Get that man a wheat grass shooter, some bee pollen lozenges, and a tofu/hibiscus face mask. Take your time though, we don’t want to shock his aura.

Shave #16 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Colonial “Armored” Brass General, Feather Pro blade, SV/TSC Il Re Tasso d’Oro brush, CBL Sir Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Sir Irisch Moos AS, and PR Phantom to finish!
Another bit of a sleep in. Feeling much more with it today, but still on the mend, so no church in-person for me this morning sadly.
Super shave though! Broke out the Golden Badger King, loaded heavy, and put it through its paces. Great fougere theme topped off by more sample killing sprays. Not quite a match with Phantom…but not clashing either.
Another lay low day. Debating calling in tomorrow, since I don’t get the holiday. We’ll see how I feel in the AM.
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Better than expected! Taking one more day to let some of the congestion/junk clear up.
