Shave #364 (850 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Gillette twin blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!
A bit of a sleep in, then OT workout this morning! Followup up by the usual coffee and baked goody of course!
Back home for chores and a shave…which was most excellent (the shave that is)! Nothing too crazy for scents…unless you count Sauvage and me putting on my Depp jeans.
Chill day today as I progress through the many loss of laundry. Seeing what options I have and can easily set up for PS5 remote play on iPad. Fingers crossed!
Happy Saturday or New Years Eve Eve if you prefer!

Shave #365 (850 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Gillette twin blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, WSP Mahogany AS, and Replica By the Fireplace to finish!
A little bit of a sleep in, no alarms to wake me up…the benefits were a little offset by a restless sleep, but just a bit.
Last shave of the old year! Went out with a firey woody heavy smoked bang! WSP Mahogany seems to have macerated some in the last year and become much more smokey and intense…perfect to match with BtF and it’s slightly marshmallow sweet tinged campfire! Smelling great!
Chill day at home today. Supposed to have some folks over later for a get together. TBD!
Have a blessed Sunday all…and an early Happy New Year!

Shave #1 (851 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Simpsons The Duke synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Montale Fantastic Oud to finish!
Starting the new year out…after a sleep in!
Great shave this morning. Back to the open blades for 50 shaves. Undetermined if I’ll take one on the family Universal trip or not. Otherwise, setting out on the road to 900! Great results today, with a blade of unknown usage numbers.
Another chill day for the most part.
Figured out a remote gaming setup for the PS5 after a lot of trial and effort. No extra gear required! Now I can hypothetically play my PS5 anywhere with a solid internet connection, without needing to drag the console along!
Happy Monday all…and Happy New Year!

Shave #2 (852 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine AB AS, and Fine AB EDT + YSL Rive Gauche to finish!
Gonna be a busy day today. Flurry of catch up activity from the long weekend and before I head out again.
Great shave this morning however. A couple minor scrapes that closed up almost instantly. Rive Gauche to finish…what’s there to complain about after that? Nothing!
Happy Tuesday all!

Shave #3 (853 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Feather SS folder, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Speick AS, and Chanel BDC EDP to finish!
Safe and thankfully brief journey to the Universal side of LA.
Let the open blade shaves continue! Brought along the Feather SS…which I haven’t used in years. Transplanted the Pro Guard from the Essence before I left. Still an excellent shave!
Likely hitting the major themed sections of Super Nintendo World and Harry Potter World most of the day.
Avadakadavra!
I mean…have a great Wednesday all!

Hope your visit is dry (or as dry as possible), looks like we are due fro some rain today. I haven't been to Universal forEVER, last time I was at a Universal park was in Florida in 2000 and it rained so hard water was 3 inches deep on the ground...needless to say we didn't stay long.
Enjoy

Shave #4 (854 Open Blade Shaves) of 2023:
Gear: Feather SS folder, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Speick AS, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!
A bit of an extra sleep in after yesterday’s super long day of nearly 10 hours at the park. I’ll tell you what…if you want to really get your money’s worth, go with someone who can get a disabilities pass. We were able to get about x3 as much done as without.
Great shave this morning to freshen up. Just swapped out the frag.
One more nearly full day at the park, then back home for us, late tonight. Beyond legs aches, they kids and their cousins have had a great time so far!
Have a great Thursday all!

Gear: Feather SS folder, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Moka 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!
Home safely at the stroke of midnight this morning. Up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready for work. Overall a fun trip for the kids and that’s what counts!
Great shave this morning. One more go around with the SS since I didn’t have time to swap the blade out and back to the Essence. Reached for the Aventus dupes this morning to close.
Crossing my fingers and knocking on wood that today’s workday won’t be too bad. We’ll see!
Happy Friday all!
