You’re almost there, Chris. Almost.

Shave #19 (869 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 vintage Ralph Lauren Chaps to finish!
Ahhhh Friday!
Great shave this morning. Did not forget to swap some things out! Went a bit old school with the scents. Simple shave, finished up with a powerhouse 70s frag!
Another day of adventure out there in the world. Starting at the EOL facility, then seeing direction the hospice wind blows me towards. Maybe I’ll get to head home a bit early…wouldn’t that be nice *knock on wood*!
Happy Friday all!

“Some things” belies the fact that you clearly do not stray far from your comfort zone of winning, preferred shaving gear. I don’t blame you, Chris, I simply wonder how long you’ll stay in denial.
Be well.

Shave #20 (870 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, JT Spartan Burl brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Acqua Di Gio Absolu Instinct to finish!
Typical Saturday in progress…plus rain! Finally! Tough OT workout to start the day, plus coffee and baked goodies, after of course.
Great shave between switching out laundry loads. This soap is still hanging in there. Just when I think I’m working it down, I reassess the following week and it seems to have been worked down less than I thought. Oh well, it is what it is.
Probably gonna be some football on shortly as the missus and kids cheer the 49ers upward and onward to the Superbowl. That means snacks for me at least!
Happy Saturday all!

Sorry to inform you, Chris, but I have it on good authority that GB will prevail. Well, at least I hope that they will.

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, JT Spartan Burl brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme Eau to finish!
Wearing his one of the hidden gems of the older DH line today. It’s discontinued as far as I know and not seeing it around as much on the grey market…gotta use my 50ml carefully!
Church today, then grocery shopping for the week. I’ll be playing PS5 while everyone else goes crazy over whatever football games are on
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Shave #22 (872 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne to finish!
And excellent rain overnight that should continue through this afternoon. Not the best nights sleep though
Great shave at least, to help wake me up. Almost out of Ideal Cologne, yikes!
Some interesting football yesterday. Bummer the Lions lost. I’m not a Mahomes fan. The dude is talented for sure…but every time I see him on screen, he’s so angry and yellin or otherwise. Dude needs some therapy.
Long, busy week ahead…too bad it had to start on a Monday
Have a good one all!

Hey! This is the one game I got right! I think the Lions worry you, and this is wishful thinking on your part. Go Lions!
