Shave #248 (434 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick L injector, Schick blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Stirling Christmas Eve soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, and Back to Black Killian clone oil to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 173:
Already at work. Shave was a bit rough but I slapped on a bunch of witch hazel mix, so hopefully it doesn’t last too long.
Thankfukly didn’t have nightmares about digging up drip line last night...sadly more of the same today though.
Have a great Friday all! 3 day weekend soon!

Shave #249 (434 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Schick Twin blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm brush, CBL Barbershop soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Skin Bracer AS, and Enigma to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 174:
Took full advantage of a relaxed morning and slept in. Boy was I beat. Wake up was a two cups of coffee affair...one cooled down cup o regular and one dialga over almond milk. Got my chores for the weekend going. So glad I finished the lawn work Wednesday, today is going to be over 100.
Nice shower n shave just before noon hit. A great, mild 3 passes with some cleanup, trying not to push too much as my face felt a little tender. Skin Bracer and this Enigma frag (not sure which specific one it is, it does smell very close to SB though) really work well together.
Other than chores, no real plans today. It’s a shame work has to interrupt my 3 day weekend but I do get Monday off at least.
Tomorrow’s service is going to happen, though it’s projected to be a record high of over 110. Thankfully the nights and early mornings have been pretty cool at least.
Have a great Saturday all!

Almost!
110? Is that where the heat went? We're sitting at 90 right now. What sorcery is this?!

Shave #250 (434 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick M Adjustable injector, Schick Twin blade, RR Big Bruce brush, JoHS Turkish Bath soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, and British Sterling to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 175:
Still doesn’t feel right to be up this early on a weekend
Good shave this morning. Brought out Jeeves of Hudson Street Turkish Bath (called Barbershop now) that hasn’t seen the light of day in a while. A nice warm talc, almost baked goods kind of modern barbershop. Used the Schick M again as something still feels a bit off on my skin in certain spots. Just a kind of tenderness felt only during the shave.
So, work/service this morning. Then possibly heading out with the family to the in-law’s for a quick visit to my niece’s surprise birthday.
Gonna be a scorcher today.
Have a blessed Sunday all!
