I've always wanted jury duty, but I never get picked because of the jobs I've been in at the time. Before I can even get done saying where I work they are already sending me out the door.

I found it to be interesting. Plus, in Allegheny County, PA you get compensated for your time. I think last time I made $12-13/day for each of the three days I served, and lunch was free on the 3rd day when we were deliberating. Considering parking was $16/day, I don't think I cleared much. I'll check on that and get back to you.

Shave #286 (814 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Captain’s Choice Venture AS, and Dior Homme Original to finish!
Hmm…messed up my shave counts somewhere once or twice…boop, fixed.
Happy Friday all! We’re almost there!
Great shave this morning. The blade will be replaced for the next set of two weeks. Probably could go longer, but I really need it to do a bit better ATG. Finished up with a scent I pretty much hadn’t touched all summer, not out of dislike, it just never felt like a good day for it until today…DHO!
Jury duty free for the next year’s time!
Most of the day will probably be spent at the EOL facility. Work laundry and ironing to do first thing after I’m home. First things first though…gotta go find some coffee!
Have a good one y’all!

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Skin Bracer AS, and Tom For Mandarino Di Amalfi to finish!
Typical Saturday in progress!
Shave went excellent. My current Tom Ford selection really seems to hit the spot when I need something special.
More laundry to get done…maybe some sermon prep.
That’s about all she wrote! Hope you’re all having a great day.

Shave #288 (816 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, JT Spartan Burl brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Proraso Red AS, and Chanel Bleu de Chanel to finish!
Up for church!
Great shave to help knock the sleep from the eyes and make for a refreshing start to the day. 3 excellent passes with no battle damage. Finished with a mix of Red and Bleu today. Don’t think the end result was purple…but I do smell good!
Usual lineup of suspects today…church, grocery shopping, and then hopefully some more down time. Feeling pretty tired and the weekend just isn’t long enough these days!
Anyway, have a blessed Sunday all!

Ugh, Monday already. Not the best night’s rest, but here we are.
Great shave at least! Basic shave was same-ol, same-ol. Just switched up the brush and finishing scents. Slowly using up my Fine products.
Not sure all that’s going on today. A few things on the books…but the rest of the workday will unfold as it will. Here’s hoping for good things!
Happy Monday all!

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Simpson The Duke synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!
Yay not-Monday!
Great shave this morning. Not a whole lot new to report. Just consistency!
Well, you leave your schedule open for adjusting to meeting people’s needs, and that’s exactly what happens. Had only a couple things on my to-do list yesterday for work and then as the day got going it went from 0-100 real fast. Thankfully it all got done in a timely manner.
IDT today and more time at the EOL facility. Hopefully a little bit of down time to work on Sunday’s sermon!
Have a great day all!

Man, midweek already? I mean it’s great being that much closer to the weekend…but phew, days seem to be flyin!
Great shave this morning. Decided to opt for Sauvage today, even though it’s supposed to be a bit of a warmer day. Just one spray of Elixir though, under my undershirt…should be enough for the work day lol.
It’s been weird waking up mostly 20 minutes or so before the sun rises. Weather continues to fluctuate quite a bit too. Very chilly nights and days that could be the range from low 70s to low 80s. More weirdness.
I need coffee.
Have a great Wednesday all!
