Happy Friday Everyone. This week has really gone by quickly for me. While I am not 100%, this has been my best week since having Covid. I hope this progress continues. Back with the Supply Pro again today. I went up on the setting from 3 to 4. I am not one to change so I just left it there for all 3 passes and touch ups. The shave was still smooth and perhaps a bit more efficient. Overall another excellent shave this morning. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Take Care.

Happy Saturday Everyone. Back with the Asylum Rx V2 after playing with the Supply Pro for a few days. I decided to go with a Feather Pro blade this time out. For me I find that keeping the face of the razor flat on my face works best. Paying particular attention the angle resulted in a wonderfully close and smooth shave. A splash of Barberry Coast Havana aftershave and I am off with the wife to run errands. I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. Take care.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Everyone. An early morning shave with an early afternoon recap. I told my wife I would go to the grocery store for her this morning. I asked that she give me a list. Unlike her, I only buy the stuff on the list so there is no need to wander up and down every isle in the store. Back from the store I fired up the smoker and prepped the chicken wings. Something about football, wings and adult beverages just makes me happy. Now that the wings are on the smoker, I can get to the shave recap.

I kept pretty much the same lineup from yesterday. After all, there is no reason to mess with success. Three passes and touch ups just missed the baby. I am really starting to get the hang of the Rx2. When I am doing my part the shaves are smooth, close and drama free. I really can't ask for more. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

I’m the same way at the grocery store. It’s tactical, get in and get out without browsing.

Wife can’t understand why my grocery runs are quicker than hers.

Curbside grocery shopping rules. I ask my Bride to make a list, and I take it from there. Ain't no goin' back to in-store shopping.

This is what it looks like when I get to Piggly Wiggly.
