Guess what’s ahead today? More busyness! Surprise, surprise!
Chris's life pretty much these days..

Are you still rowing your boats? At least choosing the music for rowing your boat ought to be easy.
Yep! Rowing is at least some part of every class. Instead of nursery tubes though, our coaches are cool and keep us motivated with electronica/dance tunes and remixes.
 
Shave #59 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 OC, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Amouage Portrayal to finish!

Tough OT workout last night…but the reward came through - Chik-fil-a spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries!

Great shave this morning! Kept things pretty tame so I could do my first full wearing of Portrayal. Lovely frag, light an airy, for a fairly intimate personal scent bubble, otherwise a spicy, starts a bit green but settles to more almost white floral, with some woods and other smooth base notes. Seems like a winner and a great addition to the so far lonely Jubilation!

Another busy day ahead. IDT meeting I’m covering for and a lot of home visits. Middle son has an in-town volleyball match later in the early evening. Hopefully I can wrap things up before then!

Happy Thursday all!

Such a shame. I much prefer the classics from my youth. How about a rousing round of Bingo? B.I.N.G.O. B.I.N.G.O. B.I.N.G.O. And Bingo was his name-o! (You’re welcome)
 
Shave #60 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 OC, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP to finish!

Man, busy day yesterday is an understatement! But 4 sprays of Portrayal had me getting good whiffs all day long! Yum! Middle son won his volleyball games as well, so that was great too!

Great shave this morning to wrap up the OC shaves for the week. Decided to play office safe and go with Moustache to finish, given that I’ll be at the EOL facility over half the day.

Been doing my part an hour or two or three most evenings this week, fighting back the bug hordes from invading Super Earth on Helldivers 2. It’s been great fun! Only a few sour puss folks that I’ve encountered here and there (it’s co-op PvE, with friendly fire).

Happy Friday all! Almost there!
