Shave #14 (864 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, Barbasol Pacific Rush AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!
A blessed Sunday to you all. Up n at em to go pick up goodies for church.
Have to help lead study for today’s passage unexpectedly. I severely dislike being unprepared and unpolished when doing such things. That’s why I pour many hours into preparation and word smithing otherwise. We’ll see how it goes though…duty calls!
Have a great day all!

I’m with you. I’m comfortable with public speaking. I can wing it when necessary, but believe I do better when prepared. You’ll do fine regardless.

Great shave this morning. Only one little nick. Smelling great too!
Our agency is demoing two new software platforms for patient management and record keeping. I get to be a part of the process! The first demo is today. The second next week. Wonder if I’ll get this unicorn free lunch Dave always speaks of?
OT workout later this evening. Gonna be a tough one…it’s the “Inferno” theme.
Happy Wednesday all!

Sorry, wrong day. The farmer's market is today. That means a pupusa for lunch!
Hmm, in the “old days” you definitely would be treated to lunch, but nowadays it might be frowned upon. Depends on your institution, most likely. Good luck!

Ended up being coffee and bagels. Meh. At least the bagels were soft and the coffee was not Folgers.

Shave #18 (868 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme ‘20 to finish!
Pretty decent day yesterday. The EMS demo was a while load of info…but fine. Definitely some drawbacks, as I’m sure any system may have depending. Still improved over our current system though.
Really tough OT workout phew! But I made it through and the reward was takeout from Flavor of India! Mmm.
Great shave this morning. Pretty much the same as yesterday, except the frag. I even forgot to swap the brush out!
A full day today of running around town on visits.
Have a great Thursday all!
