Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[HMan]

If that was a “nice” walk…I wonder that a bad walk is?

Mr. Santa Barbara couldn't possibly understand.

You'd need sun for that first!

Boom!!

 

[GearNoir]

Hey…it’s a little foggy today!

Had a nice walk myself today, it's about 20 minutes to the clinic where I got a flu shot. +7°C and WET. It was kind of fun. I forgot to take my mask off when I left the clinic, for extra fog.

Nov.04: ASD2 w/Voskhod(4) ............ Paladin Sumo ......... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Captain's Choice Lime balm

I would be very hard pressed to have to choose between the Paladin Sumo and the Chubby 2, synth brushes. Both are simply wonderful lathering machines!

Today's workout was:
- 1 hr trail walk (yesterday evening)
- 40 min roundtrip to the post office

Nov.05: ASD2 w/Voskhod(5) ............ Paladin Sumo ......... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Captain's Choice Lime balm

Last shave on this Voskhod blade and, even though the shave was okay, I have no regrets on discarding it. Happy Friday!

Today's workout was:
- 30 min elliptical

Happy Friday Sam!

Nov.06: ASD2 w/Voskhod(1) ............ Paladin Sumo ......... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Captain's Choice Lime balm

New Voskhod blade this morning (@Graybeard57 would be semi-proud of me! ) and, as expected, a VERY nice shave to start the weekend.

Today's workout was:

VERY nice shave to start the weekend.

Let’s make them all that way. You deserve nothing but!

What I really ‘gots ta know’ is dat ASD2 really as good as the folks in dees parts make it all up ta be?

 

[woodpusher]

It's a mild razor, @Bill M , but that does not mean it is inefficient. @BarberDave has called it ideal* for when you need a brain-dead, easy peasy, zombie shave.

When you do it the right way, good shaves result.

Nov.07: ASD2 w/Voskhod(2) ............ Paladin Sumo ......... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Captain's Choice Lime balm

It's Sunday, which means....... It's Laundry Day! The time shift simply meant that I was up "earlier" than normal, had my coffee and was ready to rock'n'roll with laundry as soon as my wife got up.

Today's workout was:
- 30 min elliptical

 

[GearNoir]

Did my clothes and towel laundry yesterday…a mere 4 loads

Sheets today

3 loads is our general weekly wash, but then again, there is just the two of us.
