The Double Edge Adventures of Somnos...

[Graybeard57]

Out with my Bride for some antique stores and General shopping and chillin out in the country!

I think you win Friday, Ed!

I think you win Friday, Ed!

Well really every day we wake up on this side of the grass is a win! But I’ll take it Bruce!

 

[GearNoir]

Fun day out! I love antiquing!

Apologies I went all Hobo meets Saddam for bit there. I am glad to report I have shaved the dome and face and have returned to my normal…and velvety smooth appearance. Let the ribbing from @NurseDave begin….

What an excellent shave all around!

Hey Ed, I just want to say I'm glad you seem to be enjoying some downtime and it appears you had a terrific shave today.

Oh, well then pull yourself together man!

Socially distanced natas do not seem too far off.

Yes!

Socially distanced natas do not seem too far off.

…AND SOOOOOOOI YEEEEEEEEES!

You know @woodpusher (Sam) that was so good an idea I will headed out in the morning to grab a few at Caldense down the road! And for you that don’t know Natas are Portugal’s gift to the world!

Back to the land of the well groomed. A lovely shave. I am truly enjoying the adjustable(s) again. Start off on setting three for the first pass and back to two for the remainder. Excellent results. Rainy day but not bad otherwise.

Something kind of ethereal when a Red Tip meets a significant amount of stubble. Just pure easy shaving…
