Be sure to maintain social distancing; word is that there are a lot of boys in the yard.
We have this Food Truck coming to our neighborhood today! That is...if it stops raining...

The Shave-
Early morning shave and I kept most of the kit, but I did switch up razors. Once again I was behind the 8 ball and needing to shorten my shave time. Oh the humanity! I didn’t oversleep, just reading too long before getting ready for work. I have done several 3017’s on soaps. I usually waffle between knocking out the soap and moving on or wanting variety before I finish the 3017. Anyway, I know some are doing a 1508, but I am going to try a 754. Hm ... we shall see. If I make it through the week, I’ll be off to a good start. Loaded the badger heavy again this morning and whipped up another really nice lather.
Be prepared to be shocked and amazed folks, but I went with a two pass shave today ... what? What?! That’s right WTG and ATG, knocking out a pass and taking a few minutes off the shave. The shave was really nice and I was almost there. I missed just a smidge on the jaw line, so we will call it a DFS. Good stuff right there. Had a ton of lather left for the post shave lather while I cleaned the shave gear. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. A healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Ok so I now know that a two pass is doable, but I dig the three pass shave ... so. I think that’s all I have for you at the moment. Life is good!

My two pass shaves are pretty good as well. Maybe not quite the same...but good enough if I am in a hurry!

Same soap every 4th day ?
I thought I would just use the soap til it’s about 1/4 less. I didn’t weigh it or anything, I don’t want to be all scientific and stuff.
