Had an earlier than normal shave in preparation for an evening with the beautiful mrs76 to celebrate our anniversary. And this great shave was a wonderful way to start out the day.

 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

 

Happy anniversary, Paul!

Thank you, Joe. I too praise the Lord for the grace He extended to me on that day...and every other day of my life.

I had taken a couple of very long flights earlier in the year. That, and my weight/inactivity, could have been the beginning of my blood clots.

I did my 35-minute brisk walk and ascended/descended 5 flights of stairs this morning...part of my routine to keep the blood moving.

 

Thank you Joe.
I just tell people that the big guy has me penciled in for comic relief, so I'm good for now..

Arizona? You took the dark suit, right?

 

Happy Anniversary, Paul. Great shave to start the evening!

 

February 9th
Schick G4
28mm Tuxedo Flattop/ Poculi
SV Felce Aromatica SS & AS
Thayers

Shaved late this afternoon after a busy day. Pulled out my favourite Injector, the G4, and the fantastic Felce Aromatica. It was also the first use of the 2nd of my new beehives. This one has a 28mm flattop Tuxedo I just got in. It has a very short loft, and I didn’t want to set it any shallower. If you find a bulbed Tuxedo to have too much backbone, you won’t enjoy this one I don’t think. It was a weird feeling face-lathering with this knot. It did, however, have fantastic painting strokes for the 2nd and 3rd passes. The handle itself feels very comfortable and the wood is very nice. I wanted to try it at least once, but I think this will be an imminent PIF as I don’t need two beehives in the same wood.
The G4 did a great job as always and I am very smooth after 3 passes. Truth be told, I don’t notice a significant difference between my E2, E3 and G4. I love the look of this G4, though. I’ve decided to sell the E2 as it was from the wild, and the E3 and G4 came as part of an early trade between John and I. That means more to me than the E2 from the wild.
Finished with the Glycerin’ed and M Bomb’ed Splash, which is a perfect match for the soap.
Have a great evening, all!

 

Gosh
I have to wear compression socks, even on the highest dose of blood thinners that's safe or I still get clots in the legs. My legs hurt if I sit in a car for long periods nowdays.
Have to walk around bout every couple hours on a long trip.
Funny, never had any pain with the clots, none.

30DC PIF

I’m Piffing the beehive from my SOTD pic above. I just don’t need two beehives with the same wood. The brush has been used once (tonight) and the knot as mentioned above is a 28mm flattop Tuxedo. Fair warning- It is quite stiff for a synthetic.
I’m putting this here and not in the Marketplace thread as it isn’t for the general TSD population (I have a few other PIFs and a few For Sales on there already) but is rather for the folks who frequent this thread only. That’s the only rule- if you are an active 30Day Crew poster, you can just say ‘I’m in’ in a Private Message. I’d define active as multiple posts each month for the past few months. I will draw on Friday.
Here is a another pic:

 

Happy Anniversary, Paul!

 

Very generous, Jason! The lucky winner is going to get a beautiful brush!

Very cool, Charlie! You must be getting very excited as the finish line is in sight.

 

Happy Anniversary

 

Is that Steve Kerr on the floor with Durant? He looks like he could still be playing.

 

Fantastic shave Jason. It is hard to go wrong with the SV Felce in general. When you pair it with a gorgeous razor and brush, you've amped the shave up to WOW status.

 

Exceptional PIF Jason. Someone will end up with a gorgeous brush.

 

That is a simply stunning photo, Rick. One of your very best!

 

Nice shave!
