Happy Thursday Everyone. I decided to sleep in the morning. I need the rest and after all it is my birthday. I lounged around the house after Greyson and I went for a walk. After Maya returned from errands she and I went to the park with the pups. She brought her retired greyhound, Cody and I took Greyson. We had a fantastic time. The dogs enjoyed the outing and I certainly enjoyed the time with Maya. It has been very nice having the girls home for Christmas break. The shave was another drama free automatic near prefect shave. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Happy Sunday Everyone. I did shave yesterday but didn't take the time to post. I just enjoyed the day with family. I am continuing to sink the soap. The soap will be done and dusted. It is down to less than 3 grams and I am using on average a little over 1 gram a day. The CG razor continues to impress me more with each outing. I really enjoy its blend of smoothness and efficiency. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

It has been a rough week to end 2021. Work was stressful as I expected. As if that was not enough drama for the week, my wife and oldest daughter came down with Covid. Both are improving and their cases have been relatively mild. Maya and I tested negative and thus far have remained symptom free. I was still rough trying to get the year end work done remotely. My home office setup is not as efficient as working at the office. I can see myself upgrading the computer hardware here at home over the next several months.

Throughout all the drama I only missed shaving one day. I did manage to finish off The Dead Sea soap. I don't have much of the matching aftershave left so I will use it when I use a neutral scented soap. I have continued to use the CG Lvl 2 razor. I admit I am smitten with this razor.

December 2021 Recap

​

I knocked out The Dead Sea soap this month. Without going back and counting that is either 5 or 6 soaps or cremes I finished this year. Sadly I added more than I finished. Otherwise the shaves this month have been drama free and nearly automatic. Given everything else going on, automatic drama free shaves are a huge plus. As usual hanging out with you guys has been one of the highlights of the month. Hopefully things will return more to normal in the New Year and I can catch up on all the journals. Thanks for letting me hang out and Happy New Year TSC.

Happy New Year Everyone. I have not decided but Mike's Vetiver is a strong candidate for the next soap I target for sinking. Whichever soap I pick, the plan will be to use it several times a week until it is finished. Overall another automatic near perfect shave to start the new year. I really can't ask for better. My wife and daughter continue to improve. I hope we will be through this sometime next week. I hope everyone has a fantastic day and Happy New Year.

Happy Sunday. I was moving slow this morning. I did get up and take Greyson for a long walk but came back and we both took a very long nap. I don't think I am sick but I am certainly not on the top of my game. The girls wanted me to cook ribs before the returned to school. After getting the ribs on to cook, I decided a shower and shave might be ticket. Everything worked well together delivering a drama free near perfect shave. I hope everyone had a great day. Take care.
