Jul.20 ASD2/SuperMax BD(7) .......... Eagle G2 ..................... Proraso Green cream ............ Clubman milk

A nice and simple day so far. Laundry is done and my shave just finished. BTW the SuperMax Blue Diamond blade drops off noticeably near the end of its 7-day journey.

Happy Sunday!
 
Jul.21 ASD2/SuperMax BD(1) .......... vintage boar#2 ............ Proraso Green cream ............ Clubman milk

A switched over to one my my vintage boars, which I call "Chip" based on it's handle paint, and while the knot is the opposite of dense, it was able to easily deliver the goods when it came to lather production for my 1pm shave.

Have a great Monday!

Another nice day out today in the low-mid 20s (~75F or so) and a nice late morning shave just before noon to help round out the morning. More weed pulling from between the paving stones in the yard and driveway is on tap, but I think I'm about 70% complete with this wonderful privilege of home ownership.

Happy Tuesday!

A nice enough day outside today, especially since the heat and humidity is supposed to reappear starting tomorrow. As such, in addition to my normal meh-ish meh shave, I buzzed my head down with guardless clippers to achieve the "Hey, I'm Cool!..... No, Literally, I'm Cool!" look once again.

Happy Wednesday!

And just like that, the heat and humidity are back. Blah.

The Women's World Cup chess tnmt is on and the tie-break games in the semi-finals meant that I didn't shave until just past noon. That's okay as it means I will be even prettier (relatively speaking) for bridge club this afternoon!

Happy Thursday!

Another nice morning .... in the house; it's going to be another stick-icky day out today. But that's okay, as I started the day off with a 9am shave (OMG!!!!) and a coffee and have already caught up on my podcast listening. Now it's back to studying on my FP certification course. Whee!!

Happy Day of the Frying!
