The process-
Late morning shave this morning with just a brush change up. Same consistent results. I got 3 passes today, but I missed just a smidge. We’ll call it DFS for the win! Did a mix of the WH and Deep Woods cologne too make an AS. Very nice. Life is good!
Home Front-
Not much going on today, it’s a bum around day. Just taking our meds and trying to heal up. Everyone have a great day

The process-
Another very nice late morning shave. I did switch up brushes and razors for a bit of variety. My soap weight isn’t moving very fast, so I may just stop watching it. I went with a 30 second load time and whipped up a bunch of lather. Had enough for the 3 passes and a post shave lather
Typical 40 laps on leather and I was ready for action. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Man I love days like this. Outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! That JNat edge is still rocking right along, smooth and sharp.
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a drip dry. Followed that with the WH and Deep Woods mix and everything was right as rain. Oh yes it was. Man that was a great shave and I’m digging the Avon Deep Woods. Life is good!
Home Front-
The missus appears to be doing worse. Everything is breaking up, but her mucus has turned yellow/greenish. No good. May have to get here back into the doc. My stuff is breaking up too. Yesterday I coughed so hard and so much that I think I pulled a muscle in my chest. Damn it hurts, I would swear I broke a rib. Stupid thing hurts just breathing. But coughing is the worst. That’s all I got for you today. Have a great one!
Coughing and muscles hurting is no fun. Hope you two are on the road to recovery soon!

Sorry you and the mrs aren't feeling well. I've coughed like you've described, with the same result. When the next coughing fit hits, try raising your arms above your head. That seems to help avoid the pulled muscle (?) pain. Hope you both are feeling better soon.
Not cool, dude. I'd definitely take her back in a tomorrow if she doesn't start getting better today. I hope your chest starts feeling better too.

Sorry to hear for you two.
Thanks Eric!
Prayers for good health for both of you.

The process-
Back to the grind today, so an early morning shave. It's day 6 and I'm not bored with the 3017 yet, so that's a good time. Maybe because it and the Avon Deep Woods are new to me, so I'm just enjoying the whole experience. Taking some sage advice, I decided to stop daily weighing of the soap. The whole watched pot thing and all. Anyway, needed to knock a few minutes off my prep time this morning so the DE got the nod. I also grabbed the Semogue, which hasn't seen much action lately. This brush hasn't seen much action in general, so I may use it all week. We'll see. The brush this morning may have had a touch more water in it than I have been using, but that didn't cause any issues. With a 30 second load time, I whipped up a lot of lather.
Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! Those easy peasy shaves are the best and I am starting the week strong. Something of interest, the Wizamet is on shave 10 and still going strong. For me, I am usually changing Astra SP blades about day 5. Anyway, just thought I would mention that. Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a pat dry. Followed that up with the WH / Deep Woods mix and everything was right as rain. Man oh man, a great start to the day. Life is good!
Home Front-
The missus appears to be doing better now, so that's a relief. She physically feels better and has her appetite back. Also the yellow/greenish stuff has cleared up. So hopefully she is well on her way to recovery. What a difference a day makes. I am about the same ... congested, coughing and cursing. I don't physically feel bad, it just all the congestion, then runny nose and drainage and then coughing that is driving me nuts. Ribs still hurt, but may be a touch better today, we shall see. That's all I got for ya today.

No chance of that.
@MilkCrate glad the wife is feeling better. Hope your not far behind.
Thanks John! I am getting better as well. The coughing tip that @Brew shared actually works. It doesn’t eliminate the pain, but does lessen it.
