Shave #203 (1276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Le Labo Ambrette to finish!

Yesterday’s long and tiring day had it’s fun and finished with a nice dinner out with the missus and kids to celebrate our 22nd anniversary.

Another long one today as we enter the final festival day and wrap it all up.
 
Shave #204 (1276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: Gillette Pre-war Tech, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Louis Vuitton Sun Song to finish!

The day I finally would have gotten decent sleep (probably for simple cumulative exhaustion)…a fire alarm got pulled at some ungodly hour and we’re leaving 😂

Sun Song is nice…it’s basically a super duper expensive 4711.
 
Shave #205 (1276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Acqua Di Parma Colonia to finish!

Definitely better sleep getting back home to the proper environs…just not enough of it as I wake up to get back to the work grind.

Have to catch up on chores this evening.

Bougie's next vacation will start on a wednesday (because he has to nap and take it easy the day before he prepares for traveling to his 10 day vacation) and will also end on a wednesday (because he has to shake off the relaxed feelings that the vacation inspired in him). That's a 3 week chunk for a 10 day vacation.
 
Shave #206 (1276 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: Razorock Game Changer .68 SB, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Clown Puke soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

Busy day yesterday with all the catch up. But I think I’m caught up now.

All that remains of the shingles episode are some marks on my skin still, a bit of tooth sensitivity, and continued tiredness (though that is probably just as much cumulative effect of all that’s been going on). Haven’t had to take any pain meds since leaving for the festival.

OT workout last night. Thankfully I didn’t gain too many pounds from the abundance of tasty food this last week.

Warmer week ahead. A bit muggy yesterday and today. Kids are back to school in 3 days. Hopefully everyone is back 100% by then!

Have a blessed Sunday all!
