The Deets worked, @MilkCrate ! Or at least, partially so. Going to need a few more days of them to get my sleep fully back to normal.

A very relaxing late morning shave today. I am off work today, but had to get up early for some lab work. Grrrrrrr. Got that out of the way and it was time for a shave. This is a really nice scent, but I am reducing the rotation. So once it’s gone, it is gone. Whipped up a really nice lather and got to it with the Trotter Handcrafts Dimensions.
20 laps on cotton and 60 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Ah … just the way it should be. Did I ever mention that I really dig the hot lather? Those three smooth passes left me BBS for the win!
Wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Had a few other errands to run and I may go hold down the couch for a bit. Life is good!

Still banging away on this 3017 soap. I hope that doesn’t sound like a hardship, because it is not. The soap lathers well and checks all the boxes. As does all of my equipment. Great times to be enjoying our niche market. All of that to say it was another great shave. I do have some honey-do’s to knock out today, but that should be relatively easy. Had a fender bender on Friday, so hopefully I can get that resolved without too much of a hassle. Life is good!

My wife was surprisingly calm … I am worried.
