Shave #26 (876 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, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Tom Ford Ombré Leather to finish!
There’s light at the end of the tunnel!
Great shave this morning definitely time for a blade switch tomorrow if I want my ATG more comfortable. Went bold with my frag today…Ombré Leather! Though I did only spray twice so as to reduce the amount of overwhelmingly good scent my coworkers and patients may perceive.
Another meeting to start the day. Then most of the day at the EOL facility. Will be glad to call this busy week done.
Happy Friday all!

I really hope you don't shout that when walking into your clients' rooms today.

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!
Another Saturday going down in the books. OT workout this morning, followed by the usual coffee and baked goodie. Then back home to clean up and get chores going.
Great shave, post shower. Guess who forgot to swap the blade out before hand…this guy
. Yep…definitely a red shirt type. I’ll take care of him later.
Oldest has his first job interview as I type this. Entry level stuff…but gotta start somewhere! We’ll see what happens!
Have a great Saturday all!

Up here in Canada, it seems like many young'uns have the expectation that a first job means starting as a manager making $90k.

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Acqua Di Parma Colonia to finish!
Great shave this morning after a decent nights rest. Church in a bit. A little 49ers cheer party this afternoon to watch the game. Should be a good day!

Go Lions!

Absolutely!
I checked, and you’re allowed one cheer for the other team in the Lions’ game. I wouldn’t waste it early, but maybe you’ll get a field goal or something. It’s a bit of a conundrum for you, Chris, as there won’t be many opportunities for you to cheer today.

You’re totally right…I wouldn’t want to be seen as rude and gloating when we take the win. I’ll save my energy for when we win the Super Bowl.

Shave #29 (879 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and Fine AB EDT/YSL Rive Gauche to finish!
Let’s not focus on the fact that’s it’s Monday. Fun day yesterday with friends and a good game of the ball that really seldom touches the foot. The missus made some killer slow baked ribs that were a game day hit
Great shave this morning to freshen and wake myself up. Will this soap make it two more days without needing to be relegated to the Clown Puke tub? It’s getting much harder to load…we’ll see! Starting the week off right with the
of frags…Rive Gauche!
Fairly full work day ahead of me.
Happy day after Sunday all!

Shave #30 (880 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, CBL California Sunrise AST, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!
Ended up being a decent workday yesterday!
Great shave this morning. Not a whole lot to report except my face is stubble free and I smell great!
Spending today’s work day at the EOL facility for visits and support. It’s either going to be a fairly chill day or it’ll be crazy. Usually rarely in between.
Happy not Monday all!

Shave #31 (881 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!
Chuggin right along!
Great shave this morning. Still lacking somewhat on the ATG with the blade…but should make it to Friday. The soap made it to the end of the month! If I remember to later, may mash the rest and move on to the next tub. Not sure which yet.
Usual Wednesday on the books pretty much. Some home visits, OT workout later this evening, and as a switch up to the last couple days of 70s weather…some good rain and a cold front are supposed to move in tonight with the cold and maybe even the rain sticking around into next week. We shall see!
