Almost out of Ideal Cologne, yikes!

Go easier on the sprayer man!

Not this!

This!

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!

They’re doing really well!

I realize now I had my games mixed up. Mahomes was in a different game. Still a though.

I’ve been savoring this one a while. Only had a 10ml decant!

Ah, that makes sense. Isn't that one discontinued?

That particular iteration of it is. I think they repackaged and renamed it to “platine prive”. Lots of folks saying it’s very similar. Not sure.

I know folks rave about it, so good there's something out there, but with 'prive' in the name, I can't imagine it being the same price.

Shave #23 (873 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Simpsons The Duke synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and Fine American Blend EDT to finish!

Only Tuesday? Boooo

Great shave this morning. Swapped out to the dupey goodness of American Blend. 3 smooth passes with the Essence. The soap now has a substantial amount of bottom-of-the-tub showing! Woohoo!

Attending the second EMS software demo today amidst my usual duties. Should be interesting!

Happy Tuesday all!

Hey, makin progress…it’s Wednesday!

Great shave this morning. The blade faltered a bit on the ATG pass, but still pulled out a nice, close shave. Should make it through Friday at least. Chose more dupey goodness today via Venture/Platinum combo. Smelling great!

Another meeting to kick off the work day. Then a rush of home visits to try and get done a bit early for my OT workout later.

Happy Hump Day all!

Dude, don't play this game with me. I know what's going to happen. You get us all built up for the weekend, and them BAM! You hit us with another Monday.

You can’t cheat the system forever!

Meh.

Wrong journal for that baggage!

Looks like biorhythms, TBH. I looked into that stuff in the late ‘70s, coincidentally (?) in the Bay Area. Followed it for a bit, but eventually stopped, as it was proving to be inaccurate. Found it in a bookstore. Beserkley had some great bookstores near UCB. Excellent clubs and restaurants too.

It's showing how a sine wave is generated by turning the radius vector 360° around a circle and taking the height of the triangle it forms. Yay trigonometry!

Shave #25 (875 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 Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

We’re makin it now! Back half of the work week!

Tough OT workout last night but I was rewarded with Chicken Katsu from L&L Hawaiian BBQ after…worth it!

Great shave this morning. Not a whole lot to report. As soon as the soap gets too hard to load or becomes a bunch of free floating pieces, in the the Clown Puke tub it goes!

Another meeting to kick off this morning. Then some facility visits.

Happy Thursday all!
