I always thought that certain ātrucksā came with the required chewing of tobacco to maintain ballast in the spittoons.Shave #91 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

OKā¦itās not that bad! Iām at least attempting to get up while being dragged.
This may or may not be known to happen to my passengers at times
Well I donāt chewā¦but I do have a healthy layer of dust and grime on the dash an console for character

My Toyota Tacoma has indeed served me well for the last 16+ years. Just over 150k miles and still going strong (knock on wood). I think Iām ready for something different/new though lol. If it werenāt for this darn processor chip shortage I might have taken a leap already
Are you quivering as well??Wellā¦possibly something worse than the ride-along has happenedā¦the ride-along has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict. So now instead of getting it over with I get to wait in anticipation of whenever theyāre going to ask to reschedule
Uh oh, now the spittoons are going to get light and start rolling around.Wellā¦possibly something worse than the ride-along has happenedā¦the ride-along has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict.

Shave #92 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Sir Irisch Moos AS, and Guerlain Ideal Cologne to finish!
Typical Saturday in progress! Workout this morning, chores, chilling, and a nice cool, sunny day.
Pretty decent shave this afternoon. Havenāt used an OC much less a my more aggressive razors for quite some time. So I got a couple little nicks, but nothing serious. Another light scented shave, giving excuse to use a heavy dose of the Moos and follow it up with the very nice Ideal Cologne.
Hope youāre all having a great Saturday too!

Shave #93 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Proraso Red AS, and Tom Ford OmbrƩ Leather to finish!
Beautiful day shaping up outside as we get some costal cloudy weather. Up for a shave and off to coffee and then church!
Excellent shave this morning with much better results (no nicks). My Paladin called out to me with the luxury of a top notch nat hair lather and did not disappoint! Sadly, lost a couple hairsā¦as seems to be common with all the nat hair brushes I get. Itās unfortunate that they canāt be set as solidly as synth brushesā¦or maybe I just have bad luck with them. Iāll enjoy them while I have them thoughā¦theyāre all certainly still far from being anemic at this point, thankfully.
May get in a little beach time today amidst grocery shopping and other adulting duties. Supposed to drastically warm up this week, hopefully temporarily!
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Shave #94 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Sir Irisch Moos AS, and Guerlain Vetiver to finish!
Ah Mondayā¦nemesis of the working modern working person everywhere.
Great, freshie shave to start the week. The 50 SoV should go relatively quickly Iām thinking. This was a basic formula that emulated MdC I think. Super easy lathering and Chris added some soy I believe to pump up the face feel. Makes me want to grab some MdC at some point for sure! Finished with Moos and Guerlain ftw!
Hope you all have a great Monday!
