Shave #109 (1409 lifetime Open Blade Shaves) of 2026:

Gear: Tedalus Essence, Schick Proline blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, some kind of AS, and Dior Sauvage EDT to finish!

Such a long day yesterday. Didn’t get home from the tournament until about 7. My son’s team won though! Lots of close calls but undefeated, 6/6 games (2-3 matches per game)!

The eldest also went with the missus for the day down to tour the CSU he’s going to be transferring to at the end of summer. Looks like it’s going to be a good fit. Now to figure out how to pay for it all. 🥲

Have a blessed Sunday all!
