Didn’t realize it had been a few days since my last update. I have been lurking, but not posting. Things have been the usual crazy busy at work and shaves have been the calm in the storm.

Weekends have mostly been honey-do’s and chilling. This week I have been kicking it mostly old school with the shaves. Life is good!

This morning’s shave was kinda different. A very good shave was had, it was just the process of choosing what to use. I probably stood there for 5 minutes trying to decide and Avon won the day. A nice, relaxing three pass shave left me BBS for the win! Life is good!

Today I woke up mid-morning and drank a pot of coffee, just to ease into the day. Yes … today is a chill day. Once I had both eyes open, it was time for a shave. Ethos sounded good, so it got the nod. The Aust and Shavemac delivered as well.

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. Nice … very nice! Threw in the witch hazel after the post shave lather and a rinse. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!
