Shave #77 (1392 lifetime Open Blade Shaves) of 2026:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Schick Proline blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Proraso Green soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!
The last bits of the Proraso Green got folded into the Clown Puke tub after today’s shave. On to the next soap!
The youngest’s volleyball team has been having a good run. Another win last night!

OT workout last night included another 1 mile benchmark and I did good enough to PR again! 7:19 is now my best so far.
