You inspired me, Chris. Just gave myself two spritzes of a clone purported to be close to the original: Al Haramain L'Aventure. Love the smell. Hope Sheri stays upstairs for an hour or so...

Hey wait, I'm the man in this scenario!
It's faded enough now that I'm safe from discovery from casual contact. We were in about 10 ft of each other and no problem. She's back upstairs again now.

Shave #7 (650 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade, Yaqi Moka brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Chiseled Face Sherlock AS, and Tom Ford Ombré Leather to finish!
Forgot to post my shave earlier! A fairly typical Saturday, full of chores and other things, but a good day.

Shave #8 (650 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Dior Homme Parfum to finish!
Didn’t forget todays post! Up and at em for church!
Great shave this morning. Not much to take care of as far as stubble m, given the use of Vector and the lateness of yesterday’s shave…but I went fully through all the motions anyway! A bit of a scent experiment today to finish things off…the extremely in your face fresh barbershop of Barba with a couple partial spritzes of the sophisticated and deliciously dark DHP!
Main chores are done for the weekend, just some grocery shopping left for the week ahead. Other thank that, should be a decent day! Had some light rains come in last night through this morning. Another storm watch for tomorrow and Tuesday!
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Shave #9 (650 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Pitralon Classic AS, and Dior Homme ‘20 to finish!
Rain picked up late last night and some moderate winds…the dump has kept up all the way through now and should continue through the whole day! Didn’t lose power thankfully and the yard’s a puddle but no flooding into the house. Needless to say, not the best nights rest though!
Great shave this morning at least…even if the rain will wash off all the scent when I step out
. Pretty well used scent combo for the setup today, these things just seems to go well together. Easy peasy.
Day shouldn’t be too bad I think for a Monday. It’ll be battling the elements that will be the worst of it.
Happy Monday all! Let’s get it over with!

There are absolutely no gifs with shaving in a rain storm - I am truly disappointed in the internet now.
But should the rain get worse and you have to break out the life rafts….
Have a wonderful Monday Chris!

Should be interesting driving around visits today and seeing how the rest of the area is doing.

Mostly the old burn areas right now though there have been a general warning sent out. We’re good atm.
Uphill from the flood area, I hope!

Shave #10 (650 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine Platinum AS, and Dior Sauvage Elixir to finish!
Heavy rains continued on and off through this early morning. Lots of flooding all over but thankfully none in the immediate area of home. Everyone except the essential essential workers got sent home from work early afternoon yesterday to ride things out so they didn’t get stuck in office buildings or elsewhere. Should be starting to clam through today. Remote work today.
Great shave after an extra wink of sleep. Only nicked myself once on the chin. Finished up with Fine Platinum AS and a few healthy spritzes of the nuclear Sauvage Elixir to make the whole house smell good today
Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday so far!

Could never be the fault of the most decent weather man alive!Al ain't doing you guys any favors...
And you thought my idea of getting an inflatable boat to put in your trunk was silly
You're really a closet 3017er, aren't you Chris? I'm seeing a lot of repetition here...
