    Thank you, Tim! It is different than my other scents and is also good, so that makes it a good one to have in my den.

    I couldn't remember if I had seen you shave with one before. The first several times I used an Injector, I had the same problem you are describing. Then I got the angle figured out, and it was easy DFS+ everytime. Now, since I don't use them very often, I have to relearn. I was hoping that was the case for you, but sounds like this is just different.

    Thank you, Clint. It was a decent day at work. I miss the lunch time naps I used to have with my 4 year old, but I get more done now.

    Thank you Joe.

    Thank you Tim. I am struggling a bit with having too much on my mind and the Enoch extracting a price for my lack of attention.

    So today was my final day of training at work. Ended up working on the actual work floor today after I finished up the training and did fine surprisingly. Wanna say I had a 7 hour shift. Gotta go in tomorrow for another 7 hour shift and Saturday as well. Next Monday will be my long shift. Wanna say that one is about 9 hours. No shave today, might try to get one in tomorrow. Happy Hump Day. Noticed one of the stockers had a Gillette box.. hoping it's that new king c de razor. might keep an eye out.

    Good evening guys! I just finished my evening shave.

    Shavette shave #160
    Dovo shavette
    Rockwell 1/2 DE Blade (2)
    Jayaruh Silvertip Badger #386
    Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS
    Nivea ASB not pictured

    I decided to be unconventional and use the awesome Stirling Christmas Eve soap. I just love that evergreen scent! I used the dry loading method, but I didn't load enough because my second lather was wet but it was too translucent and it caused 2 weeps on opposite sides of my moustache as I was doing a fool's pass. I also shouldn't have done that pass when this blade only had one shave prior to this one. Any way, styptic took care of it. On a 34 hr stubble, the result was an IBSS+ without irritation, but with the weeps. Applied a liberal amount of this awesome aftershave and did get feedback on the mustache. Finished with the Nivea. Did I say that I love this scent? Have a good night fellas! 20200520_201333.jpg 20200520_201333.jpg

    Thanks Myles! It was just happenstance that it was a mixup shave because my theme is Modern May. I am only using razors that were made within the decade. However, I believe in using seasonal soaps any time of the year. My philosophy is that if I like the scent and the soap performd, then why not use it.

    Thanks buddy... I don't know about being a hero at this point. I just try to keep my patients alive ... Now when I was active duty USAF - that was more heroic lol.

    We are just thankful that our area hasn't been hit that hard and that we are healthy and safe. The same wish I have for all of you guys and your families!
