This was a quick shave for the challenge. Ended up BBS, but there is no fun in shave town when you're just doing it as a chore. Interesting what a big difference a couple of minutes can make.

I'm get
ting bummed about those couple of days I couldn't shave last year. If not for those, I'd have a boatload of consecutive shaving days piled up.
 
Yea, I definitely missed my luxuriating shave this morning. Most days, I’m willing to wake up that much earlier to get it done the way I want, if needed.

Coming up on your 200 consecutive days shaving token!

My first dollar razor shave was captured on video for all to enjoy. Today it was a quick slide downhill. With the first pass I thought things were better than yesterday. It seemed like the blade was smoother and I was actually getting a good(ish) shave. Come the second pass start the roughness and some tugging and come t
he third pass I was getting flashbacks of Graham Field. There was less alum sting than I was expecting and I got BBS on the cheeks and DFS+ on the neck. I would have like to have a couple clean up stokes from the Timeless on my neck, but at the time I was assuming I would be lit up like a forest fire.

Busy weekend back on the ranch. Made a trip to the dump, washed the car, sealed the tile in the shower and got a lot of edge trim painting done. I'm ready for a day off!
 
Sounds like a productively busy weekend! At least you had the shave to help...oh, nope, never mind.
