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

[Graybeard57]

a meh-ishly good shave, if I do say so myself.

Meaning it met/exceeded the high standard set by Astra?

After a night of tossing and turning while trying to get in at least 20-30 mins of sleep each time, it was a 7am shave with no elliptical workout as we were finishing meal prep for an afternoon pot-luck outing to support one of my friends who had a remembrance / celebration of life for her husband who passed away a few months ago. We met him just a few times, but he was a friendly chap who was very easy to get along with. After a few hours at the lakeside and catching up with some folks I had not seen for 10+ years, they headed out on the lake to sprinkle his ashes while most non-family or super close friends made their way home.

Shave-3 with the Derby this morning and, while it was a nice and easy shave, it's not as good as the Astra SP. Is it bad? Nope, it's more than adequate for a quick shave if you're not looking for BBS (which I do not).

With the use of a Derby, Sam officially left "meh" for "ugh".

I think it’s a Canadian thing. Why stay satisfied if you don’t need to.

Another Derby entered into duty today. I also threw in a head shave with a Schick Xtreme3 that I picked up at Costco this morning as they were on sale (avg $0.65 each).

A simple 2-pass shave this morning (NS-SN is my norm) provided a simple result to kick off the day. Temps have dropped a little, which is great, as I was sweating up a storm moving the lawn with our old reel mower yesterday. We'll pick up a new mower once the end-of-season sales hit.

A no-workout early shave today as it was the executive meeting of my chess club from 10am-noon to plan for the upcoming year/season, which starts in September. We run during the school year from Sep-Jun and take Jul/Aug off.

Other than that, not too much else planned for today. In other words .... meh.

Making the rounds is easier when you gotz wheelz!

Swapped over to my 37C this morning with a fresh Derby blade. End result = nice and smooth, easy peasy shave. Head shave again this morning with the Schick Xtreme3 (2) after 3 day's growth and another 2-pass comfortable shave with that as well.

Bridge club this afternoon! Woot!

 

[woodpusher]

Bridge was nice yesterday and we had lots of fun for just over 2 hours. Today's shave was nice, but neither as much fun as bridge nor as long a duration.

I enjoy your literary choice of comparing two dissimilar things that are so different in the unit of comparison to add humor.

Early no-workout shave this morning, as we will soon head out for mid-morning eye exams. Save-3 on the Derby was nice and easy , but 3 is enough for the blade.. Strangely, the Derby seems to pair nicer with the slant than with the ASD2.

Today's shave was nice enough but a little awkward due to me doing too much yard work yesterday and regressing my right arm strain. Managed to put in a head shave with the Schick Xtreme3 for the third use of this cart, which was pretty good.

We're having some family over for an afternoon get together to belatedly celebrate our nephew's 37th bday. Lots of veggie dishes already cooked up by my wonderful wife.
