Mar.08: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(1) ......... Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive
My Nivea balm is just about done with maybe 1-2 more days use left. It's really nice and making me think about switching from splashes to balms.
Today's workout was:
- 150' @150lbs farmer's walk
- 3x7x2 @50lb dumbbell rows
- 35 mins on the elliptical

Simple and easy shave this morning, just like they're supposed to be.

Thanks, Chris. Mom is back in the saddle again and feeling much better. She has a history of IBS and diverticulitis, so these issues are not unexpected, but are still unwelcome.

I’ve liked the few balms that I’ve tried, but I always miss that alcohol burn that you get with with a splash. I feel like the shave isn’t done until you get that feeling haha!

Yeah, Captain's Choice Cat'o'Nine Tails has a nice, refreshing kick to help ensure you're awake after shaving.

Mar.10: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(3) ......... Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive
My bottle of Nivea Cool sensitive balm finished this morning. It was good enough for consideration as a re-purchase down the road. Up next is my Captain's Choice Lime balm.

First use of my Captain's Choice Lime balm and it was great. Absorbs fast and is not greasy, with a delicate lime scent. Seems much stronger taking a whiff from the bottle, but I like it!

How did that happen? I thought our borders were closed except for essential travel.

Day-2 with the Captain's Choice Lime balm and I appreciate how this product is working. The scent is light and steps into the background rather than being "in your face" and that's a good thing, as it is an aftershave, not a cologne. My wife can detect it on my if I ask her to smell me (she usually runs away when I do that
), but my nose becomes accustomed to it by the time it is absorbed fully into the skin. And that's the other great thing about it; it is quick absorbing, non-greasy, and leaves me feeling nice.

Mar.13: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(6) ......... Chubby2, synth ....... Palmolive stick ...................... Captain's Choice Lime balm
Even with 2 years after purchase, the Captain's Choice Lime balm hits the face with a wonderful , light scent. By the time I am done dressing, my nose is accustomed to it but the skin benefits continue nonetheless.
Workout-wise, rather than alternate the bench press and dumbbell rows per day, I did both today and will try to continue in this vein.

Mar.14: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(7) ......... Chubby2, synth ....... Palmolive stick ...................... Captain's Choice Lime balm
Felt a little woozy through most of yesterday, starting when on the elliptical. A good bit better this morning, but not entirely back to normal. I thought about forgoing today's exercise, but since I am doing doing anything potentially dangerous with high weights, I decided to go for it. I was fine until about 5 mins on the elliptical, when my slight bobbing and the room a little tipsy if I closed my eyes. Solution: keep my eyes open. Feeling okay now (~1.5 hrs later) but still going to take it easy for the rest of the day,

Stable at 156 lbs for most of the past two weeks.
