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

Feb.03 Injector I2/Personna(11) ... Paragon synth ......... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

3 hours chatting over a food court supper last night with some friends. The Tom Yum soup was better than I expected, given the fancy dining establishment. LOL Picked up a yoga mat for me as well, so I will feel better than simply using a bath towel for cushioning my joints while doing our new now-normal 30 mins of yoga and stretching every morning.

Post-yoga shave was pretty good and nothing to complain about at all. The sun is even shining, so that's a bonus!

Uh oh…Sam’s falling down the yoga rabbit hole. Pretty soon he’ll be wearing Lululemon!

Feb.04 Injector I2/Personna(12) ... Omega boar, Sue ..... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

A post-noon shave today as this morning was tied up with coffee, chess, and laundry. The last load of the latter is just about done in the dryer.

Even 10+ years on, the Omega B&B boar continues to shine as one of the best knots I have used, and that includes badgers and synths.

Feb.05 Injector I2/Personna(13) ... Omega boar, Sue ..... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

A late shave afternoon today, as I didn't get around to it until just past 4pm. I'd blame it being Monday, but that would be just a cop-out for my laziness. Let's say I was channelling my inner Bruce .

I’m more than happy to continue to mentor you . First, embrace your Inner Peace and always work to get there. The Inner Peace is out there.

Work, eh? Hmmmm

Sam inside Bruce Meh

You pervs! It was that Sam was inside Bruce’s head and Vice versa! You sickos

 

[Graybeard57]

Work, eh? Hmmmm

I use it in its retired meaning. “Work” is relative , as you are aware. When retired, anything out of the ordinary can be considered “work”.

Feb.06 Injector I2/Personna(14) ... Omega boar, Sue ..... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

A post-yoga shave just before noon, making it #14 on the blade, which is my normal target for a Personna. I can stretch it to 3 weeks if need be, but there's no need right now.

Local chess club with the kids this evening, so it should be a fun day.

Feb.07 Injector I2/Personna(1) ..... Omega boar, Sue ..... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

An evening shave at just after 9pm today means that tomorrow morning's shave should be super easy. Mind you, with a fresh injector blade today, even a 33 hour scruff was moved down without issue. Gotsta love the stiffness of the injector blades for handling the tough stuff.

Yoga today had an extra 22 minutes added, as my wife wanted to get some extra work in on knees and hips. I ain't getting any younger, so I'm all in!

Feb.08 Injector I2/Personna(2) ..... Omega boar, Sue ..... Nivea cream ........................ Clubman milk

As expected, after 40 mins of yoga, today's shave was super easy, given there was just over 14 hours of growth. A good start to the day, and with bridge coming up shortly and chess in the evening, things are only getting better!
