Wait, you didn’t get the matching tonic???
Good start! I’m on shave 135 on my Personna as of today.
I’ve evolved to a 2 pass shave. With the grain, followed by Against the grain. Took me a bit to be able to go ATG without any Across the grain passes.
Nope. Not ready to start doing tonics. I ease into the pool.
There might be something to this one blade challenge of yours. You are the forward thinking Spider.
Just for fun today...I tried to do a third pass. Stopped almost immediately. I don't think my beard grows in a linear north/south direction so every pass is with/against the grain at some point. As a result of my just for fun moment....I got a weeper on my neck. And yes...the Alum told me it was a weeper.
Trust me, you want to try CBL's Aftershave Tonic. It's awesome!
So the wife and I started on the final room that needs to be gone through for downsizing......and its her sewing/craft room!!! So I'll see you guys in about a year with news of being finished in there. Not really but it felt that way after only an hour. The problem is that she takes something out of a drawer...looks at it and says. "no...I don't need this....I'll get rid of it"....then thinks about it for a minute...then reluctantly puts it in the "getting rid of" box...and then takes it back out and says, "well...this was my great-aunt's left-handed doohicky and even though I've never used it (and its broken)......it was special to her...so I'll hang on to it". I think we made it through about 1/1000th of the room after 2 hours. I might need to start drinking during these events.
Shave Journal:
A rare back-to-back journal entry.
Been using my new Semogue boar brush. Took a few shaves to get it to soften up and relax and its now giving me wonderously thick lather. It's a keeper.
Everything else was the usual: Pre-war British Tech with a Wilkinson Sword blade. The whisper-thin vintage Williams puck is going....going.....not yet gone. But that could change any second now.
Tried a splash of Stirling Sharp Dressed Man aftershave. So I'm smelling extra nice today. But I do feel the urge to play some Texas blues while hanging out with supermodels.
See ya Later.

I figured it would take 10min. “All this stays”
Oh...I wish. She's dedicated to the idea of purging stuff from the room. She just can't bring herself to actually do it.
Sounds like me and my house.
I think you're mistaking purging, for continuing to collect with abandon.
I'm not purging my collections.... are you crazy? I need to purge the other stuff to make room for my collections to keep growing.
FIFY
I remember my high school days too

Could definitely be worse!
Ah yes, a good drenching of Polo. Guaranteed chick magnet.
I hear good things about Axe.
