Shave Time!
2 shaves, 1 entry...
Saturday:
Razor: Rockwell 6c Plate 4
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Oz Shaving Co. Tik Tok
AS: Oz Shaving Co. Tik Tok
First shave on the One Blade Challenge. I chose the Ladas Super Stainless to push to the max this month. I only have 2 of these, so we'll see if they last the entire month. I have a feeling I'll get through just fine. I've used this blade previously in my Tech II and really liked it, I got the same result with the Rockwell, but may have gotten a bit of a closer shave.
The Oz Shaving Co. Tik Tok continues to baffle me. One shave I get a great lather, the next it seems to be the hardest thing to do. The brush could have been part of the problem. So far I'm not really enjoying the boar brush all that much. It doesn't seem to load quite as well. It could be that it's not broken it at all yet, so I'll continue to use it on and off and see if my opinion changes. Can't complain for $10 though right?
Sunday:
Razor: Rockwell 6c Plate 4
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless(2)
Brush: WWBW Jingle 2 Band Badger
Soap: Oz Shaving Co. Wicked

For shave number 2 of the One Blade To Rule Them All, But Just For This Month Challenge I decided to do a 4 pass shave. I haven't done one of these in a while, and lately I've even stepped things down to 2 pass shaves because I've gotten better results irritation wise. But off I went, really paying attention to technique and growth direction. No issues, but I have to say for the time it took to complete the shave, it wasn't really that much closer than a 2 pass shave for me. I'm still not 100% BBS. I did manage to get a way without any irritation or blood loss so it was ok, but not something worth doing repeatedly. At least not for me. Back to the 2 passer tomorrow!
In Other News....
I'm starting to really feel like I'm over whatever cold I was beginning to get. Erica still feels like she's in the middle of whatever she has, so it must be something different. Either that or my immune system is way better than hers ???. Getting ready to sit around and be a bum for the big game today. Hope the Rams win because, anyone but the Patriots! I might do a bit of my continued education that's due in April for my real estate license before the game starts. We'll see.
Tomorrow at the day job we have a new hire starting. She is supposed to eventually learn to do what I do with the vehicle titles and help me when I have time off and when volume picks up. We'll see how that goes. She knows the guy that owns the tow company we're contracted with that brings all of our vehicles in, and he says she'll fit right in with our group.
Willie World:
William has been doing good, but for some reason he keeps waking up multiple times through the night but we can't figure out what he wants. He doesn't do anything when we take him out, he'll always eat but he doesn't seem to be starving for food, he doesn't attempt to get a drink of water. We have no idea what the deal is. Otherwise throughout the day he seems fine. He's a weirdo sometimes.
