Back home! Woohoo!!
We logged 5,828 km, which is 3,621 miles during the trip. Put another way, drive from Seattle to Miami and then keep going for another 3 hours.

That would take you about 90 minutes past Cuba, by my arithmetic.

Yesterday's shave was about 37 hours of scruff, so not quite as hobo looking as the pic I posted earlier, but still quite rough looking. They Injector mowed it down last night and it was a tired, but welcome shower and shave. This morning's shave was a quick 2-passer (my normal NS-SN routine) and I'm ready for coffee #3.

As nice as the trip was, it's good to be back home.

 

[NurseDave]

Whew! Must have been good to shake things up when you got home.

 

[woodpusher]

Indeed! Changing up everything last night except for the razor, blade, soap and AS was a shock to the system!

I feel your pain, man. Same thing happens to me.

A 5:30am shave to start the day off on the right foot and just woke the ladies a few minutes ago. Just like Remo Williams, our adventure continues.

I used to couldn't wait for the next Destroyer novel to come out.

I really should go back and (hopefully) dig those up from the local library.

Aug.24 ASD2/Personna(1) ............. EJ STF synth .......... Captains Choice 45th Parallel ... Cella balm

After 2 1/2 weeks (17 shaves) with my Injector, I switched back to the ASD2 this morning with a fresh Personna. Yup, this razor is simply awesome. That doesn't mean that my Injector is bad, simply that the ASD2 is that good. I don't look any prettier, so the result is still a "meh" shave.

But your shave was good, so you look marvelous!

As long as your family appreciates you, it's all good.

Aug.25 ASD2/Personna(2) ............. Chubby-2 synth ..... Captains Choice 45th Parallel ... Cella balm

Swapped over to my CH-2 synthetic this morning and my first impression was that this is a LOT denser than my other synthetics. See, me be goodly big smart! It was indeed quite a change from the Yaqi Sagrada and the EJ synths I have been using. In the end, there wasn't much difference in the shave, so the verdict on today's whisker chopping: ..... Meh, it is!
