  13. I'm back after a long weekend that included a late night trip to the emergency vet and the death of a friend's father. Crossing my fingers that this will be a quiet day.

    Today's shave was an early post-War Tech (steel baseplate and fluted ball handle) with a vintage Spoiler. Soap was a mix of Williams and the contents of the mystery cup. The result was a very nice DFS with zero issues, despite four days of growth.

  15. 2 June was a no-Shave Day. I spent a few hours in the wind and sun working on a project, and was too dried out and burned up, so I gave my face a break. Back to the basics today. I'm traveling again this week, but will pack the basics and stay in theme.

  20. Matthew, you think the Omega 49 is your favorite now, wait another 3 to 4 months and you are going to really be over the top with this brush!
