Mar.23: Injector I2 w/Personna(9) ...... Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Captain's Choice Lime balm

After WFH for most of the past 10 months, my wife is back in the office for a 2-week rotation. House sure is quite and I keep waiting for the mid-morning callout to make more coffee.

Workout and shave were good again this morning.

Today's workout was:
- 150' @150lb farmer's walk
- 3x7 @75lb bench press
- 3x7x2 @50lb dumbbell rows
- 35 mins on the elliptical

What's really funny is that my wife loved that mini-series.

- 3x7 @75lb bench press

Spring weather is starting to become semi-normal here, so it's almost time to work on the yard and get the box gardens ready for planting.

How is your pile of tomatoes in the bucket doing?

 

[woodpusher]

No bucket-o-seeds this year. Last fall, I kept each type of tomato separate and let them rot down before taking out the seeds. Twas quite stinky in the garage for a few months but at least we will have an idea as to what kind of tomatoes we will be planting in each bed.

Another lever action guy, do you ever open it? I've read that they don't really get very dirty in there.

 

[woodpusher]

I open the lever generally on two occasions:
- after 2 weeks when I get ready to swap the old blade out, I rinse it "open" to get out any crud, let it dry overnight while open, close it the next morning and insert a new blade
- if my lather was too thick and I do not see full light between the blade and guard after rinsing. (maybe once per week)

Other than that, the lever stays closed. It's the head geometry that does it for me, so an I1 would be just as nice to use.
