Shave #177 (981 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Simpson The Duke synth brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, CBL California Sunshine AST, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!

Cooled down some last night, so that was great!

Great shave this morning. Only one little forming zit I decapitated. It closed up quickly though. Finished with a nice sporty scent combo.

Only supposed to hit upper 70s today…we’ll see! Starting the morning off with an IDT meeting, then most of the day at the EOL facility.

Happy Tuesday all!

Teenage Gear used electric razors unfortunately.

During summer time…probably more than likely in a deep video game bender.

Good shave this morning. A couple small nicks in the trouble spots but no major damage. A couple more shaves on this blade then the final swap out that should see me to 1k!

Finally getting in an OT workout later this evening, after a week and a half of zero. Probably gonna die

Have a great Wednesday all!

Tough OT workout last night…especially given the last week and a half without. Made it through though!

Great shave this morning! Decided for the fresh, barbershoppy finishing combo of Skin Bracer and Sartorial.

IDT this morning and then what should be a fairly normal work day *knock on wood*.

Happy Thursday all!

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Trotter Handcrafts Taurus A brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Barbasol Pacific Rush AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!

Typical Saturday in progress for once! Bit of a sleep in, then OT work out, and some light breakfast after.

Great shave this afternoon, while waiting for some laundry loads to finish. Was a fairly grey and moderate marine layer morning, but that’s all burned off now, so bright and blue was the perfect ticket, finishing with Barby PR and Sauvage!

More chores to get done, then chill.

Happy Saturday all!
