Today, Thursday, is a good day.
A day to wish for, and smell like, “Victory”.
Brutal 4-mile run, destroyed the back and arms with weights, then 300 shin kicks, 300 elbows, and 300 knees on the banana bag.
Lungs are working like an accordion played by a man on crack, heart is beating like a jackhammer, and the mind is super enjoying the pain signals and gains.
Took a hot shower afterwards, then super enjoyed a face and head shave.
Like I said, today smells of Victory.
Pray for the unborn, our country, our religious freedoms, our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, and for our soldiers. God is ultimately in control.
To God be the glory.

Thanks, Gabe. I have had this Oscar11 handle with a badger knot in it that I wasn't really enjoying, for quite a few years now, so I decided to extract the boar knot from my Zenith brush as I found the loft to be a bit too high and it is working out very well and it looks great in the amber handle. I love these amber handles. Always have and always will. They are so photogenic. You'll be seeing it more often as I am really enjoying my boar brushes as I have reduced the loft, as in this amber handle, and I have contricted the knots on both of my Omega Pro 48 & 49 with elastic bands. :)

Solid!
Woke-up early this morning and went on a fast 6-mile run, hit the weights to destroy the biceps and abs, then did five, 5-minute, rounds of sparring - focusing on 2&3 combo strike routines with knees and elbows. Also worked on the Dracula guard. (It’s a Muay Thai thing).
Took a nice hot shower, then busted-out my newest shave soap and balm - Barrister & Mann’s “Leviathan”. (It was on my doorstep last night).
Scent is super unique: Russian leather, sandalwood, coffee, cedar, musk.
Unique scent. Very subtle.
Wifey also loved it.
I paired it with my Wade & Butcher straight razor.
Outstanding choice.
Incredible shave, awesome skin conditioning, and looooooooooving the new scent.
Life is good.

This injector razor provided a DFS shave at the highest setting.
I probably need to use it again to test my technique with this one as it seems to be on the mild side of efficiency for my beard.
I think this one would be a very good shaver to use for a beginner as one would have to work hard to get irritation.
