We’ve had a nice, steady downpour since yesterday afternoon. It’s great!

Well, I was the last juror called for the day yesterday, to sit in the tentative panel box and be questioned. Then we were let out for the day. The jury still hasn’t been finalized. Probably a good chance I’ll be selected. Fortunately, there’s only court 3 days a week for this particular court!
 
Shave #37 (1137 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, CBL Barba AST, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial to finish!

OT workout last night…followed promptly by In-N-Out.

Unfortunately, due to a soaping accident by the oldest, my Fresh Vetiver soap ring was demolished and became unusable. So the remainder was relegated into the clown puke. Gonna struggle with some more LNHC for a while…Ocean Mist. A rather country store, oceanic potpourri type scent. Different for sure. Hopefully I can dial in lather this time around, though I’m not convinced.
