Nurse Dave's Journal

[Dave in KY]

Interesting. Thanks for the info, but Hope seems like an odd name for that soap!

Not when you consider what Cole said about the performance

 

[NurseDave]

The names come from people the maker knows.

Oh well that's cool.

 

[Dave in KY]

Not seeing the video yet......not that I'm anxious

 

[NurseDave]

So...... I had thought off and on about playing someone else's video in the background while recording a shave. Never did it and @Dave in KY beat me to doing it. So I figured I should get another idea I had. Adding commentary to someone's shave video! And what a video it is. 3, three, THREE cadre members in one!

And the run of straight shaves continues.

Shave was better after the change of blade. I’m at that plateau with the SS where I wonder with the anatomy of my neck if I’ll actually be able to get a DSBBS. But history shows you just give it more time and things will click into place when you’re not looking.

Chore day today. My wife ran over a brick with the SUV and I’m at the tire shop having the flat looked at. Hoping it’s not a rip and we’ll be buying two new tires. Later it’s packing up Christmas decorations and the my sous vide equipment should be showing up. Have some steaks waiting to give it a try if it gets here soon enough. More 5,4, 3, 2, 1 videos while I wait.

 

[GearNoir]

A brick took out a tire? That must have been quite a brick!

 

[Smattayu]

I think I’ve gotten my most effortless shaves with a Feather SS with a ProGuard in it. Great combo.

I doubt I'll keep going that long, but I just figured out if I can get this SS streak up to 15, that will be 200 straight shaves. It ain't much, but it ain't nothing. I'm dragging my feet on some home chores. One of which is reorganizing my soap again. I think I'll have to dedicate an under-bed box to one or two brands to open up a big space in the drawer.

Back to the 5 day work week. Sad. And I forgot my coffee beans so I'm on Keurig today. Sad again.

 

[Dave in KY]

Nice stuff Dave! Don't sweat the work week, I'll take a day or 2 off for us.

 

[MilkCrate]

Nice work on the shaves! I can relate to the 5 day work week.

You're always there for me!

I know people with a lot of PTO can go through streaks of taking every Friday or Monday off for a while. I think I'd like to throw in some Wednesdays as well. Weeks like that you're never having to make it more than one more day.

 

[MilkCrate]

I work what they call a 9/80 schedule. I work 9 days for 80 hours and get the 10th day off. That is my Cadre Friday.

 

[Graybeard57]

Five day work weeks should be outlawed, IMHO.

Oh, I'm well aware and try not to get to jealous

 

[Smattayu]

IA Cape Heartache is good stuff, and probably the longest lasting frag I’ve ever used. 20 hours or so on my skin.

You sir, are a lady killer!

Don’t forget to smell each and every one!
