If the game hadn’t taken 2 hours…and it was freezing cold out…it would have been much more exciting.I'd pay money to see that.
Rude, I know!
All of this builds character, Chris. To say nothing of the memories you’re making.

Indeed. There are already days where I have a reflective moment and wonder where the years have gone.All of this builds character, Chris. To say nothing of the memories you’re making.

Shave #53 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, twin blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Amouage Jubilation XXV to finish!
The weekend is wafting in! Can you smell it?
Great shave this morning. Seem to be making some decent progress on this soap. Hard to tell of course but it’s feeling like I’m going through it a bit faster than CBL OG wagyu formula. Decided to finish fancy today and reached for Jub XXV! I really need to invest in more Amouage!
Busy day yesterday and a tough OT workout. Was rewarded with some good Pad Thai though!
Another busy end to the week today, running around town on visits. Can’t wait to cross that finish line!
Happy Friday all!

Shave #54 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 OC, Astra SP blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!
Somewhat typical Saturday, at least for me. Missus and middle boy are at an out of town day volleyball tournament. Had an OT workout this morning with requisite coffee and baked goody. Now back running laundry loads and running the other two kids around.
Great shave this afternoon at least! Brought out the GC .68 OC and it did an excellent job whacking off the little extra stubble from a long morning. Finished up with DHS!
Finishing up the rest of the chores. Working out a frag trade elsewheres…it’ll mean Heeley Cardinal goes bye-bye, but I should be getting a bear brand new Amouage out of it - Portrayal! Hoping it works out!
Happy Saturday all!

That she likes on me?
Probably Oud Wood. It’s the only one she’s bought for me.
She’s got a funny nose and thinks most frags smell too much like vanilla or powder.

My wife's favorite scent is .... 
But since we mainly use a credit card, she settles for the smell of freshly ground

Shave #56 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 OC, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!
Man, short weekend feels like. But here we are.
Great shave this morning at least. No issues and great results. Decided to reach for a strong frag to start the work week off - Sauvage!
Busy day ahead. Work, a wedding and reception to go to early afternoon, kids to drop off/pick up, sports practices. Ugh!
Decided to pick up Helldivers 2 yesterday and take it for a spin. Pretty fun! It’s pretty much the Star Ship Troopers movie in a game. Should be interesting to see how much further they develop it.
Happy Monday all!

Shave #57 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 OC, Astra SP blade, Simpsons The Duke synth 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!
Busy day yesterday but a fun way to end it, getting to be at that wedding. Such a happy occasion!
Great shave this morning. A bit groggy waking up but a cold water shave will sure knock those sleepies out of the eyes and brain fast! Great results and smelling great too!
A plethora of things to get done today. Hopefully I can wrap it all up in time for the closing bell!
Happy Tuesday all!

Phew…chuggin right along!
Excellent shave this morning. This setup seems to be a regular in my rotations lately. It works!
Guess what’s ahead today? More busyness! Surprise, surprise! At least there’ll be an OT workout later, which also increases the possibility of take out from somewhere! There’s light at the end of the tunnel!
Happy Wednesday all!
