I needed to take a nice easy smooth shave today to avoid any more burn or bumps, so I went with the Fat Boy and Chromes today, with the adjustable set on 1. It was very gentle. I needed that today!!
Happy Shaving Men!!!

Thursday
Nice shave this morning with the Schulze Wiener Schaber. Cream was La Toja for sensitive skin. A nice cream but I think I’ll try the ‘normal’ version, I believe it has a stronger scent.
Went to the gym again today, I’m increasing reps and weights all the time, it’s amazing how quickly your body bounces back after a 9 month lay off, even at almost 50!
Cufflinks of the day were silver and some sort of greenish stone. Not sure of the age, they look reasonably modern; these are the most modern ones I have.

A first class shave BBS, i've never had a poor shave from this blade and razor combo, weather quite mild this morning, had the scan test results from my back problem over Christmas, where I was admitted twice in one week, I have two prolapsed discs, L4 and L5, that's over thirty years doing silly things as a Carpenter, strict orders from the consultant no more lifting heavy objects.

You know skipping a day in between shaves seems to make for some really great shaves. I only wish I could make it a habit.

My morning shaving is going well this week, though SWMBO keeps asking me why I need to shave every single day (I don't, really, but then again, how much of this is really about need?). I'll update my Noob Chronicle later today. I'm creeping toward shave #100 and my "graduation" from noob to rookie. Now if I could just figure out this honing thing...

Struggled with lather this morning, but made it work. Seems the hard soaps are really giving me fits lately. This was the second shave with the Friodur, it is one incredible razor.
First time using the Lilac Vegetal. I am not sure about the scent yet, but I think it is growing on me. Loved the cool tingle.
Good shaving and God Bless!

Another fantastic shave today. Last one until Mon as It's hog season!! LOL Seriously the lather was good today but not great. Missing a bit of "something". I just am not a huge fan of AOS products but they get the job done. This razor takes out the "gorilla beard" with ease.
Stay safe all and have a great weekend!

A day in mid-February with a temperature of 37 degrees here in the province feels out of balance. At least I heard the cardinal sing for the first time this season. The cardinal is my favorite songbird. I call him Harry.
