Shave #347 (850 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic, generic Personna blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Proraso Red AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP to finish!

Wow, it’s Wednesday! Just about half way through the work week already!

Excellent shave this morning! Everything was as it should be. Still chuggin along on this soap…hard to believe I have 2-3 others packed just like it and waiting in the wings. Rug-roh raggy! That’s gonna take a while! Reached for the boozy, woody vanilla today. Yum!

Some home visits today. OT workout later. Likely followed by a take home dinner from one of our fav spots. Should be a decent day!

Hope yours is too!
 
Shave #348 (850 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic, generic Personna blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

Good OT workout last night…just the right amount of effort and that little bit extra. Followed up with a Habit Burger dinner. Yum!

Great shave this morning! Went fresh and barbershoppy.

Another IDT this morning…then a relatively unstructured day ahead. We’ll see what ends up coming on down the pipeline!

Happy Thursday all!
 
Shave #349 (850 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:

Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic, generic Personna blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP to finish!

Finish line sighted!

Great shave this morning. No ifs ands or buts about it! Second use of the Anchor AS I got for my birthday a couple months ago. Interesting stuff. It dries out pretty quickly and has an…interesting…scent. Kind of kelpy/sour/sea/savory with a hint of mint perhaps. Would probably not get again, but I’ll use it up.

Ended up being a pretty slow day yesterday, which I’m totally OK with! Today may be another. Glad it’s Friday though. Last day of school for the kids, for like 3 weeks. Pfffffft 🙄
