Thread: Sunday January 3 ~ Saturday January 9

Awesome shave this Sunday morning.

Only a 1/2 day Zoom class today. (0900 to 1400 hours).

Smoked the two pre-tests.

Next Saturday is a 1/2 day of labs, then next Sunday are our two final exams.

Woke-up early and ate breakfast with my liddle mini-me. Afterwards I took a nice hot shower, and then had a great face and head shave before the class.

Still sticking with my autumn/winter scents.

I am always amazed at how well an almost 200-year old restored Wade & Butcher still shaves. (I totally dig the nostalgia factor of it as well). Just love how quiet it is (almost a full wedge), and what a crazy smooth shave it gives. Definitely my second favorite razor.

Just an outstanding shave!

Crushing life!

Great shave this early Monday morning.

Wanted something a bit different, so I went with Southern Witchcrafts, “Druantia”. (Cedar, Oakmoss, Rosewood, Cypress).

Nice, natural, scent. Organically clean.

Love Southern Witchcrafts soaps. Just incredibly slick and nourishing.

So I went with an unscented soap and balm to pair with the Druantia scent. (I never clash scents together. Just ghetto).

Superb face and head shave.

Crushing the day.
