Shave #77 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, generic blade, Graydog Art Deco brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!
Body still hasn’t adjusted to the time change. I’m pretty tired, even with the extra hours sleep yesterday and today. Le sigh.
Great shave though. Not sure what it was yesterday but the blade already in the Parker felt no bueno, so I swapped it out with a fresh generic. Seemed to do the trick, along with the reminders to myself that even as mild as the Parker feels, you still can’t put pressure and you just have to accept that you’re only going to get a reasonably close shave in most cases. So today was much better!
Church this morning. Grocery shopping later. The eldest has his first Sunday work shift.
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Good gosh man! I don’t know if you sound like an 80-year-old man or such a finally tuned athlete that any variation throws you off. I’d suggest a danish to see if that gets you on track.

Shave #78 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, generic blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Fine American Blend AS, and YSL Rive Gauche to finish!
The day that shall not be named, is back.
Great shave at least! If anything could give a pick me up on a Monday it’s a good shave and Rive Gauche!
Busy work week ahead. One negative aspect about the workload in this field is that a lot of admissions happen in evenings and especially on late Fridays and weekends…when there’s minimal non-medical support, leaving that non medical support in catch up mode. Yet another reason to dread Mondays. Oh well.
Let’s git er dun!

Shave #79 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, generic blade, Simpsons The Duke synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme ‘20 to finish!
Heeey Tuesday!
Good shave this morning. Did push it just a tad much, but thankfully not too much visible irritation. Finished up with the office safe DH ‘20, since I’m largely in a facility today.
Work morning will kick off with an IDT meeting and then me at our EOL facility through mid day, then I’ll be able to make some visit around town. Have to put the finishing touches on a memorial service I’m helping with tomorrow.
The older two kids both have home games…so going to be a long day in that regard. Also have to get work done on a sermon for Sunday.
Busy is the word of the day!
Happy Tuesday all!

Shave #80 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Parker Adjustable injector, generic 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!
Two great school games played yesterday, the boys’ teams won both!
Great shave this morning! Usual suspects for the most part. Decided to amp up the scent juice today and wear Sauvage!
A nice foggy marine layer settling over everything this morning. Should burn off by this afternoon though.
A memorial will be taking up about half my work day, then a couple other visits around town. OT workout later this evening.
Should be a decent day!
Happy Wednesday all!

Great shave this morning. No issues to note. Finished with the sweet, boozy vanilla of Moustache EDP!
IDT this morning then a bunch of home visits around the area.
Happy Thursday all!
