Shave #245 (1300 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather ProGuard blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Proraso Green soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!

A beautiful marine layer over everything this morning. May get a bit more rain the next day or two.

Happy Monday all!
 
Nicer day for a run today. Marine layer starting to come in off the coast and an occasional cool breeze. More miles today, only a stop half way and another half way back…no complaints here!

Boy did we get our lightning/thunder storm last night! Rolled in about 10:30 and kept up for a good portion of the night. A healthy dose of rain too. It’s all gone this morning though, leaving some nice cloud cover and cooler temps.

OT workout later.

Tough OT workout last night.

Long day ahead…but only 4 hours of it is work! The missus and I leave in the early afternoon to head down to LA, where we’ll find some decent dinner and be in attendance at tonight’s Rams vs 49ers game! The first time we’ll both be attending a pro football game. She had won tickets some time back at a work function. So yay us!
 
If you see a very drunk guy in the parking lot with a coors light in his hand.......that's my buddy.

Oh wait....that will be half the parking lot. Nevermind.
