“The TSC’s Napping Beefcake”
Only on Mon, Tues, and Fri. Wed and Thurs I get to play catch up with work and serve minor prejudice.
Once you go pro, you can't participate in the hero Olympics.

Shave #44 (1144 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, LNHC Ocean Mist soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Lucky Tiger AS, and Comme Des Garçon Avignon to finish!
Had a good light rain Monday evening into Tuesday afternoon. Last night through now has been much more robust downpour, though still not violent thankfully.
Hit a surprise personal goal this morning. First time I’ve been under 170lbs in over a decade. It was morning weight and likely to keep fluctuating but it’s great!

Shave #45 (1145 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, LNHC Ocean Mist soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Proraso Red AS, and Amouage Jubilation XXV to finish!
Well, not gonna get the extra half day of rain we were supposed to but yesterday’s downpour was pretty healthy.
Almost out of Proraso Red AS. Feeling like I’ll probably order more the next time I need to get AC blades, which should be in the next few months I imagine.
Back to the courthouse this morning.
TGIF!

Are you saying you don’t watch this, or its spinoffs? And you’re sitting on a jury?! How will you know what to do?

About one month till race day!
Still looking for help with the marathon friends! There is a fund matching campaign now through Monday…the catch…I MUST raise a brand new $500 amount or more to qualify! Not a cent less!
Please donate if you are able and/or share my fundraising link! You can read more about the World Vision water project there also! Thank you so much!

Today was a 9 mile training run. Surprisingly felt better than last week’s 8 but was still super tough.

Fundraising update…$225 more to go until I hit that new $500 mark to have the funds matched! Over half way there! Amazing!
Will it happen?! This may be the last fund matching opportunity before race day hits!
