The Shave-
Early morning shave and I am running the same gear, so no pic for you. If I can manage, this will be week #2 of settling back into my pre-Rona shave routine. That routine is using the same setup during the work week and random kit on the weekends. And with that, day 2 is now in the books. Since the soap is new to me, we are spending the week checking each other out and so far so good. I have great shave again with minimal loading. Man, this stuff can lather. I was running a bit wetter today, based on the lather that I was slinging about. It's all good. Had a great shave and walked away BBS for the win. I still can't determine what that opening note is on the AS, but again it's nice and settles down quickly. Oh yeah, this one is a keeper. Life is good!

Getting back to some sort of normalcy is awesome. Good stuff.

Thanks Ben. I had already switched back to my regular schedule. The only difference is how I soend my time that I was setting in traffic.

I dig the scent, just not sure what to match it with. I need to play with that more.
You reminded me of something, thanks.

The Shave-
Early morning shave again and mixed the kit up just a bit. Today I substituted in a boar, because ... reasons. The soap does equally as well with the boar and cranks out a lot of lather. The Zenith did shed a hair today just to spite me, but oh well. Had a very nice shave, but missed a smidge by the Adams Apple, so we’ll call it a DFS for the win! Lept the rest of my routine the same and after splashing on the AS, everything was right as rain! You know it. Another hreat start to the day. Life is good!
Home Front-
Had the day scheduled off, but I am covered up with work, so ... I’m working. Oh well, there is always the weekend. Other than that, it’s been fairly quiet around the casa.
Dude
Not cool, dude. Crank up the tunes and make the best of it!

The Shave-
Just a quick update. Late morning shave ... IKR? Go up, grabbed a cup of coffee and was ready for a shave. Got an email that our overseas users were having connection issues to Dallas. So work began.
Took an early lunch and shaved. Same setup as yesterday and a great shave! Life is good!

Got my early morning shave on today ... yay me! Needed a quicker shave, so I grabbed a DE and that did the trick. Kept the rest of the kit and had a great shave. And I’m BBS for the win! TGIF Life is good!
