Shave #321 (849 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, Skin Bracer AS, and Chanel Bleu de Chanel EDP to finish!

Things are lookin up! It’s Friday!

Great shave this morning. Been finding a pretty good sweet spot most mornings with the Fresh Vetiver, where it just is hanging on the edge of max hydration. Does make for lots of accidental lather flinging action though. Finished up with BDC EDP!

Half day at the EOL facility, then some home visits. Work has also asked me to speak again at our annual Angels Among Us with a short reflection. The event is where we invite families of deceased patients to come and have a time of remembrance. So there’s that iron in the fire now.

Have a great Friday all!

Chris, I'm glad you are the one doing this reflection. It is very important work as these folks work through their grief.

Non-typical Sunday in progress! No church this morning in lieu of Friendsgiving later tonight with those folks.

Excellent shave this morning! Oh how I love the Schick M injector! Such a perfect piece of shave equipment! A few spritzes of the youthful and festive TF TV to send me on my way.

Out for some coffee and goodies with the family. The eldest returns later today from his weekend Young Life winter camp.

Monday…but at least it’s only a 3 day work week!

Great shave this morning. Not sure how many shaves are on this twin blade, but it seems to be doin good! Fine AB scent combo to cap this off.

Excellent Friendsgiving evening get together last night. Overall great weekend, if a little fast feeling.

Truncated week means trying to do the same amount of work in less time. Let’s see how it goes! Oh to be back in school and have the week off like my kids do 🥲

Happy Monday all!
