Bunch of running around on errands…but at least it’s been fairly relaxed. Thanks Brian! Hope you had a good one too!

Shave #311 (611 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro AC blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Lucky Tiger AS, and Bvlgari Tygar to finish!
Not the best night’s rest unfortunately, hopefully my body can adjust to the time change quickly.
Great shave this morning at least! No hiccups or battle wounds. I tentatively seem to be back on the open blade bike and wobbling my way to 650. Finished up with Lucky Tiger and Bvlgari Tygar FTW!
‘Twas a busy weekend at work judging by the email stack awaiting me. Going to be a busy day!
Have a great Monday all!

The Wolfman (I am probably really dating myself now) dedicating a song to Mr. Gear today…..
Damn you for getting that awful song in my head

I remember a jockey called Wolfman Jack! They used to play him on the rock stations early morning when I was a kid in Modesto, CA. Don’t know if it was recordings or the real dude though.

Yea…too bad I don’t have a secret backroom to go fall asleep in like I did at my previous job…not that I ever did that of courseChris all day..
Regardless…one of a kind. One of the most iconic modern radio voices for sure.
I enjoyed listening to his show when I was a teenager in the '70s.

Shave #312 (612 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro AC blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine Platinum AS, and Prada Luna Rossa Ocean to finish!
Had some nice, grey skies and light rain throughout yesterday. That should thankfully continue today!
Great shave this morning per usual. Chomping at the bit to use the honed GD and balsa strip Bill sent along for me to try, but waiting on a strip base and leather piece to finish the set before I give it a go. Meanwhile, no complaints about the Essence! The colder weather, bundling up, and continued mask wearing for work has my skin drier than normal, so needing to use a bit extra moisturizer. Finished up with Fine Platinum and PLR Ocean!
Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Shave #313 (613 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro AC blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!
Yesterday finished with some nice, soothing bouts of much needed rain storms throughout the day/night. Unfortunately that’s it for the extended forecast. It was nice while it lasted!
Great shave this morning! Perfect conglomeration of lather provided by the Clown Puke tub. Decided to go all in on the Fine Aventus clone combo to finish up. No sprays of the real stuff though…that’s for weekends!
IDT meeting and some visits today. Got asked to do a short reflection for work’s annual holiday event, so I have to work on that too.
OT workout later this evening. Still pondering what to get my Rudolph buddy…it’s a tough one!
Have a great Wednesday all!

At least you got some. Here's hoping you get a couple more days of gentle rain.

Is this allowed for my weight watchers? I am on the wrong program if it isn’t!

Good question! Maybe it all balances out…paid it forward with a workout beforehand
