Shave #86 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic injector, generic blade, Razorock Big Bruce synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Dior Homme Sport ‘19 to finish!
At least it ain’t Monday! Phew, that was busy!
Great shave this morning. No issues to report. Just very, very slowly wearing down this soap. Have to be approaching 50% or so by visual guesstimate. Another couple/few months to go maybe?
Spending most of the day at the EOL facility today. Shouldn’t be quite as bad as yesterday in terms of busyness.
Happy Tuesday all!

Wednesday!
Great shave this morning. Felt a little more rested than the last few days had brought but still takes a bit to clear the sleep out of my eyes and brain. Shaves give me enough time to do just that! 3 passes, no issues.
Should be a relatively simple day ahead, with a few home visits, OT workout later this evening, and some yummy take out likely.
Happy Wednesday all!

Shave #88 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic injector, generic blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Amouage Portrayal to finish!
Tough OT work out last night, but the reward was a great chicken charsu bowl! Worth it!
Great shave this morning. Thankfully not quite so tired as yesterday. Decided to be fancy and spray Portrayal Man to finish things up!
Busy day ahead with visits and then also helping one of my patients do a Commitment Ceremony for them and their partner. Special day!
May take the family out to the movies later. Toss up between the new Kung Fu Panda and the second chapter of Dune.
Happy Thursday all!

Shave #89 (900 Open Blade Shaves) of 2024:
Gear: Eversharp Hydromagic injector, generic blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Stirling Agar soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Brooklyn Grooming Anchor AS, and Prada Luna Rossa to finish!
Great night out last night with the family. Ended up doing pizza and then watching Dune Part 2. Phew, that was epicness. Worth watching in the theatre if you like the genre or Part 1. They’ve done a good job with the material I feel. It seems to have become what the LOTR movies by Jackson did for that material.
Great shave this morning! Last one for this go-around on the Hydromagic. Finished up with the nice and super fresh Prada Luna Rossa.
Supposed to get some more rain starting this evening and through the weekend. More flood warnings in effect for our area and LA. Should be exciting!
Happy Friday all!

Indeed!Pizza is always good!
Looking forward to seeing part 2
I find the new movies the best and most accurate to the books
I read Dune in high school and loved it. Of course, the movies have amazing effects, which are cool. The political intrigue woven throughout the story in the book is fascinating and very well done.
