I have mixed feelings about it. It is at once a privilege and duty as a citizen of a democracy, but at the same time nothing about our current society or the way the system is enacted make it an appetizing prospect and easy to want to do. I’m sure there’s no easy solution to a middle ground.

You make it sound like such a drag, Chris. It's not that bad. Just go in with an open mind and it'll all work out. :) (y)
 
Shave #279 (809 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL California Sunrise AST, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!

Up for church!

Great shave this morning. Just one little hiccup on the mustache area on the ATG, but it closed up quickly. Some fresh, clean citrus scents to send me on my way.

Church this morning, maybe the annual Avocado Festival for a short bit to see what’s good…then back home to chill until…birthday dinner time! Going out to a favorite fancy Chinese spot locally. Need to recharge the rice batteries. 😂

Have a blessed Sunday all!

Great shave this morning at least! Nothing super special, just solid results and some office appropriate scents to close it out.

Overall great b-day. Dinner last night was awesome as always. B-day cake ended up being a yummy strawberry custard tart.

No instruction last night or this morning from the courts to report yet. So there’s that!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Shave #281 (811 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Simpson Duke synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and Fine American Blend to finish!

Busy day yesterday…at least the weather has been a bit more cool.

Great shave this morning! Making a little progress on the soap…I maybe have gone through 1/8th of it? Still a ways to go 😂. Finished up with Fine AB FTW!

Most of the work day today will be spent at the EOL facility, checking in on folks. We had hit max census for a little while but, as things go in this field, it didn’t last long. It’s good in a way though, max for our little crew can be a bit hectic.

Happy Tuesday all!
 
Shave #282 (812 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Captain’s Choice Venture AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!

Man, the week is moving right along. No jury duty yet, just a couple more days to check in *knock on wood*

Great shave this morning. The Feather Pro is a tad rough on the ATG but seems to still be performing OK overall. Finished up with some dupe scents.

OT workout tonight, likely followed up by a takeout dinner. Hell Week challenge coming up towards the end of the month. I hope the shirts are better material this year! The last two I got are a bit cheaper and stain really easy…not good for a workout shirt!

Have a great Wednesday all!
