Today was my first shave since Saturday so I had a few days of whiskers to chop off. On Saturday I had used the Gillette Slim for something different so I went back to the Fat Boy which I'm planning to use for the remainder of the year 2017. It was cold out by my house this morning when I got up... minus 8F. It managed to warm up to minus 1F by 10 a.m., so I took the dogs out to mom's house to let them run around there. The temp at her place was about 14F above zero. Although she's only 13 miles away, her place is about 600 more feet in elevation so sometimes that makes a big difference in temperature. I took some of the shave gear I was going to use out there to get an outdoor shot, and ran into some "technical" interference. Blanca decided I needed help setting up the shave gear and provided her assistance.

Of course, she had to study the set-up for a couple of minutes while my knees are freezing in the snow.

My other dog, Shayla, had to give her two cents and make final approval since she is senior dog in the family.

Finally, they gave me their final approval and I took the shot while they ran off to hunt for any man-eating rabbits which may be lurking in the area.

Overall, it was terrific shave this afternoon and very close to BBS. Have a great week everyone!
P.S. Shayla and Blanca say hi. They're offering their services for shave gear set-up to everyone in the 30DC crew for free.
