Shave #66 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Gillette Super Adjustable, 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 Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!

Still tired but at least not feeling quite as gunky. Was able to get in a workout yesterday evening, got those vitality energies going.

Great shave this morning! Just enough quiet active time to wake up a bit more and clear the mental fog. Finished the shave with Sauvage!

IDT first thing this morning, then a bunch of home visits. Hospice is hoppin!

Eldest has a lacrosse game last night, they got annihilated again 😂 bummer. Middle son has a volleyball game against their city rival tonight; hoping for some wins!

Happy Thursday all!
 
Shave #67 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Gillette Super Adjustable, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Comme Des Garçon Avignon to finish!

Ahhh Friday! Finally!

Unfortunately the volleyball teams lost to the rival last night. Bummer, but some good games were played!

Great shave this morning to top off the week of Super Adjustable use. 3 quick and easy passes over the velvety Stirling lather. Magnifico! Today’s frag of choice was Avignon! ⛪

Ready to close out this work week fo sho!

Happy Friday all!
 
Shave #68 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Chanel Bleu De Chanel EDP to finish!

Fairly typical Saturday in progress! A bit of a nice and much needed sleep in, OT workout that was a doozy, coffee and baked goodies after. Then back home for chores while the missus is out holding some open houses.

Great shave between laundry loads. The Vector/ProGuard combo had the monumental task of nearly a day and half’s worth of stubble…but it was handled with relative ease! BDC EDP to finish up!

More laundry to do. Later the missus and I have a date night, going out for a little bite and then to some Irish folk song concert she wanted to see. Should be good!

Happy Saturday all!
 
Shave #69 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

Great concert last night with some moody and also some rousing pieces.

Not much for the Vector to take care of this morning, given yesterday’s late shave. Went through the motions anyway, because it’s what we like! Finished with Sartorial!

Church this morning. Thank goodness for clocks that automatically correct themselves!

Have a blessed Sunday all
 
Shave #70 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather ProGuard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and YSL Rive Gauche to finish!

Eww Monday…and after a leap ahead time change no less. Nightmare!

Good shave this morning. Blade did feel a little rough today. It is well used from that Tedalus afterall 😅 Maybe I should pop in a Proline for tomorrow?

Busy Groundhog Day week ahead…let’s get it done!

May you all have a palatable Monday! 😂
