Thanks @Dave in KY I'm alright. Some days I just don't feel like dealing with posting my shaves. But I'm old and if I don't I'll forget stuff. I'm sitting here in my dark office, just kind of ignoring Monday and the the WMRK Monday morning "Wake up or shut up" show comes on and forces me to deal with the day.
Starting to really get this SS dialed in. I paid extra close attention to the last strokes on the neck on each side as that's where the shave is made or not. I realized I'm not getting quite the same angle on the left side even though I'm using my right hand. To get there felt super unnatural, but that shows I haven't been doing what I should be to get the dolphins to scream every day. Whole dang neck is super smooth today with the extra care. Decided to pull out my samples from IA and use them up. I know I've worn some, but not all. This one is ok and they have claimed it to be one of their more popular, but very vanilla forward and sweet.
Spend the weekend getting more chairs for the deck and putting up those trendy bare bulb patio lights out there in preparation for having friends over. Well the weekend heat wave never hit us so we ended up inside for the evening anyway. It was nice getting together after hours of me wondering what proper protocol for these things is now. Luckily they are pretty chill too. So we just sat on opposite sides of the room and enjoyed the evening. Now, back to a full 5 day week. It just ain't right I tell ya!

I understand completely Dave. Been having some low periods myself but I just power through them deal with life as it rolls. Down in LaFollette Tennessee checking in with customers and it's still a mixed bag half are ready for me to come back and half are still holding out on opening up there inside service. We trudge on.....
Nice, safe solution.
It was nice hanging out with my mom for a little bit. As much as I hate people I kinda miss socializing. I really only get talk to my coworkers, random patients, and the same doctors and nurses. I'm glad you entertained safely.

Shave #2 with the AS-D2. Again no blade feel at all. It's very weird. If not for the sound of hairs being cut I'm sure I'd be looking to see if there was a blade in there. Again, no problem with getting a BBS with it. Even chased a closer one this morning. Issue was the neck again. It got lit up with alum. Odd, because the shave itself felt smooth. Guess this will likely be headed to chickenlover Dave.
WMRK is taking us back to the days of the astronaut on MTV. Something more to it when we had to watch video after video hoping our favorite might pop up. Now they just loop it on YouTube. Lame. What's even lamer is I keep forgetting to bring in more coffee beans so I'm relegated to Keurig coffee. Before that I did the @Majorrich dog from every town method and combined the bean dregs from three different lots into one last cuppa. Not a success.

Yep, it's smooth but when you go over and over trying to catch a dolphin which you never catch, you pay with irritation later was my experience
