Shave #40 (890 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Acqua Di Parma Colonia to finish!

A chill Saturday in progress. Missus gone and me needing to get the oldest to his lacrosse team pick up point this morning for an out of town game meant no OT workout…instead a bit of a sleep in…and still managed to be able to pick up a coffee and breakfast burrito, weird that 🤔

Great shave though between otherwise normal chores. Back to being bright and sunny out and for most of the week it looks like. So I grabbed some Colonia and sprayed generously for a little pep to the day!

Hope you’re all having a great Saturday!
 
Shave #41 (891 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Tom Ford Oud Minerale PB to finish!

Up for church!

Great shave this morning. Sooo coooold to have a cold water shave…but such it the state of things. Still went well…and excellent results! Finished up with a spray of Oud Minerale to the chest. Just enough for a nice, personal bubble of scent.

Well the missus may miss the Super Bowl after all. She updated me last night that the group she’s with was planning to leave early afternoon and not in the morning as she’d thought. Still TBD I guess. She’s disappointed but she’s a good friend.

Have a blessed Sunday all!

Shave #42 (892 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and Fine AB EDT/YSL Rive Gauche to finish!

Man that game yesterday. 🥵And now it’s Monday?! 💀

Great shave this morning at least. Not much to report, just excellence! At least that went right. 😂

Full week ahead. But should be sunny and warm up to bearable during the days.

Happy Monday all!
 
Shave #43 (893 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Prada L’Homme to finish!

Ended up being a busy day indeed yesterday. Phew. Today shouldn’t be quite as bad hopefully, but one never can tell really in this job.

Great shave this morning. 7 more to go until the big nine oh oh. Hopefully the blade stays strong and comfortable! Finished today with the soapy iris of Prada L’Homme. Powdery but still manly!

Spending most of the day at the EOL facility. This evening will be busy for the family. Eldest has a lacross game out of town and middle son has a practice at his school. Mom and dad are gonna have to tag team!

Happy Tuesday all!
 
Shave #44 (894 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP to finish!

It’s Wednesday! Happy Valentines all you star crossed lovers (hint hint gents, don’t forget!) and blessed observance of Ash Wednesday!

Great shave this morning. Familiar pit crew and quick* and excellent results. Only a couple small nicks on those angry hair follicles. Crossed the finish line with Rochas Moustache EDP!

Shifting our usual Wednesday evening OT workout to tomorrow, so that we can get the oldest dropped off to his early dinner date and get ourselves out for some artisan pizza and a thing called a “f-rosè” (yes, as in frozen rosè wine). That was the missus’ choice, so that’s what it is 🤷‍♂️

Happy Wednesday all!
 
Shave #45 (895 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!

Phew… pretty rough day at work yesterday, unfortunately centered around some common misunderstanding around what chaplains represent. It came to a good resolution as things were clarified, but boy did that drain me. Valentine’s Day evening dinner date was a success though!

Great shave this morning! Dragging a bit, but it did help me feel better overall. Hard not to get a little boost when you are wearing bro-fragrance Sauvage!

Another full day ahead. Hopefully can wrap things up in time for an overdue OT workout.

Happy Thursday all!
