  6. No shave yesterday, but I'm fixin' to go for a ride with my Weber this morning before heading off to see my kiddos.

    We spent a good part of yesterday in the ER with our dear Aunt. She's like a second Mom to my Bride, and we're thankful that she thinks enough of us to call when she needs something. She received some answers to the pain she was having, and they will keep her for a few days for some physical therapy. Nothing serious and definitely treatable, so we're blessed.

    I did manage to have my soft serve ice cream yesterday. You guys were busy 'round these parts. It was fun catching up on the thread this morning. Definitely some cool shaves and much good banter. Big congrats to the Baylor girls for their NCAA win! I hope you all had a great weekend!

  11. April 8th:

    Proraso PreShave
    Proraso SC
    Semogue OC Cherry Boar
    PolSilver Blade
    Voskhod Blade
    Gillette Slim L1
    Proraso AS

    Quick 2 pass DFS for the cheeks, neck ends up DFS or CCS (right side) when in a little bit of 'just do it' mode. 1st pass was with the PolSilver blade on it's 3rd use (6 total passes). It got very draggy and rough feeling. I have come to the conclusion I have tough facial hair. Always told by the barber I have thick hair, in two ways. Maybe it's why I prefer blades that start off sharp/smooth rather than sharp/edgy. While I can use Feather blades...they start a bit edgy for me on the 1st pass and then seem to smooth out for the 2nd-4th passes.

    Today's gear and software is a favorite of Mom's. I think it's an aroma she grew up with, as it definitely reminds me of my grandparents bathroom. The L1 is also my birth quarter (year) razor. The past 3 months I've been wet shaving she's always commented the most when I used this combination of product (aroma), and visited her 1-2 times every day. Yesterday, a rough day. Mom passed away late afternoon. Now, it's time to honor her with a funeral later this week.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

  20. Thank you very much, Randy! I try to use natural light and bring it in from the side to get highlights and shadows.
