Shave #11 (861 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

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, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Comme Des Garçon Avignon to finish!

Having quantum leapt back to the correct year, things resume as normal.

Great shave this morning. ProGuard is beginning to have a bit of trouble on the ATG passes, though it feels quite fine each other pass. May swap it out Saturday, we’ll see. Finished with Avignon FTW!

IDT meeting this morning, then a day of adventure…seeing where the needs of the people takes me 😂

Have a great Thursday all!
 
Shave #12 (862 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Proraso Red AS, and Amouage Jubilation XXV to finish!

Holy smokes…Friday already?! Thank goodness!

Great shave this morning. All cylinders firing in time. Ended up being a fancy Friday shave I guess. Reached for Jub XXV and gave a couple extra sprays over my usual. Extravagant!

Headed to the EOL facility this morning, after grabbing a professional cup o Joe somewhere. Celebration of life to drop by at later this afternoon.

Happy Friday all! Almost to that weekend!

Shave #13 (863 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL Barba AST, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

Of to a typical Saturday start! Bit of a sleep in, then a tough OT endurance day work out. Coffee and baked goody afterward, then back for clean up and chores.

Pretty good shave this afternoon. Whatever the count was on the previous blade, I went ahead and popped in a fresh one today. Still often have trouble with fresh Feathers and warm water shaves. Seem to get way more little follicle nicks than I ever would with cold water and a settled blade. Oh well, nothing too bad. Finished with the fresh barbershop combo Barba and Sartorial!

More laundry to get through, then some chill time hopefully!

Happy Saturday all!
