Happy Monday Everyone After working 8 hours yesterday, I can confirm the weekend was entirely too short for me. Another boring automatic shave this morning. I love zero thoughts shaves during the week. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Happy Tuesday. The Dead Sea is disappearing at a pretty good clip. I really hate loading out of this narrow glass jar so I taking a small amount of soap out and making into my shave bowl. I fully admit I am not much of a bowl latherer but by the end of this jar, my skills on bowl lathering will have improved. Three passes and touch ups ended in another drama free near perfect shave. This setup is just flat working for me. I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday. Take care.

Happy Hump Day Everyone. I was very productive working yesterday. I still fill behind and somewhat stressed. Another automatic drama free near perfect shave this morning. I needed that sort of start to the day. Off to a client site today so I get to enjoy the Atlanta beltway in the rain. I am sure that will be fun. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

I see you are still rocking that Dead Sea, Clint. Is all it took was a little trash talking to keep the focus? Glad I could be of service!
I think it is awesome that you are sticking with it...especially given that you have to use the same product day after day. After day. After day. After day. 😇

I know you don't enjoy that brush all that much, Clint, but the handle does certainly look very nice. Love the grain in the wood and the crisp lines.

Hopefully the soap will be done by the end of the month. I am not sure I really want to continue using it much longer than that.

I like the brush better bowl lathering. The tips are just not that soft. The handle is cool. I just wish they had sealed the handle instead of leaving it unfinished.

Happy Thursday Everyone. A very early morning shave with a mid afternoon post. I was up and Zero Dark Thirty this morning so Greyson and I could get in a good walk. We covered a little over a mile. I had enough time to get in a shower and shave before going to physical therapy. A quick automatic three pass shave worked out great. My lower back my left side has been bothering me for several weeks. So off to see the therapist. A round of being tugged on and punished was followed with needles and electric stimulation. It hurt but seems to be helping now. I hope everyone has a great day.

When you see medical testing/treatment from 100 years ago, it seems brutish and bizarre. What will they say in 100 years about today's practices? I'm glad you're getting some relief.

Glad you were able to be seen! He often do you have to go in for treatment?
 
I am paying the price for a misspent youth. Between the motocross and infantry my lower back is screwed up. The treatments do help provide relief. I usually have to go for several treatments every couple of years to get things sorted out. At some point the treatments or steroid injections won't work and surgery will be required.
