Today, I was running late, so I just did a quick 2 pass shave. The Cella lather needed a little more work, but as I was rushing, I called it good enough. The first pass wasn't very slick, so before the second pass, I rinsed my face and left the water on there. This pass was much better. Again, not a great lather, but good enough to get the job done. I went and felt my face afterwards and I was DFS+. That works for me. There are a few areas that need the third pass to get completely smooth. The Fine did let me know that I had a subpar lather when I slapped it on though. It has been a while since I felt that much feedback. Even though this blade has a few more shaves on it at least, I think I am going to bin it. The rust on the blade, although not near the cutting surface, makes me apprehensive. I may also get a jar of alcohol to keep on hand too, that way, I can dip it in after each shave to get the water out of the tight spots.
A la Mancha, Elijah loved his birthday. He chose to have chili dogs for dinner. Then we did the whole cake and presents thing. His expressions were great as he was opening everything up.
Have a great day everyone.

Today, I made sure I had enough time for at least a 2 passer with the Waterville. I missed using it. Well, I got the shave in and it went very well. I have really got those first 2 passes down pretty well. The only hiccup that I had was when I was doing above the lip. I went in at a slightly different angle today and ended up not cutting as much as normal. It had slightly more S movement than normal. I could have went back and touched it up, but settled for the CCS there. I wasn't wanting to tempt Mr Murphy. Everywhere else is DFS. The after shave went on and very little sting. I have to wonder if it is just left over from yesterday's shave.
Speaking of Mr Murphy, he tried to make me drop my razor in the sink. When I was rinsing it, the water hit the blade just right and made it rotate and slide a little. Luckily, I had used alum on my fingers, so they had a better grip than normal or else it may have ended up dropped.
A la Mancha, the visit from the FIL is going well. We have hit our stride. No arguments or unpleasantness has ensued. I got word that Tammy's sister is going to be arriving late tomorrow night and they will be leaving Saturday morning. So, just a couple more nights and everything will be back to normal in the house. This will be a good thing because even though we haven't had any issues, the revised sleeping arrangements (he is in my son's bed and my son is on my daughter's trundle) my kids have not been getting the right amount of sleep and are acting like it. My son has melted down each of the last 3 days. Today, it started early. He refused to take his inhaler and allergy meds, almost hitting me in protest.
