I arose very early and enjoyed a warm shower and a fantastic two-passer with my focus gear. I've used my 2019 30DC LE brush for the last few shaves. The handle is just about perfect, and the SynBad knot is my favorite synthetic so far. The tips are very soft, and it has just enough backbone to get the job done well. I don't soak the knot prior to use. I just run water on it, load for 5 to 10 seconds, go into a face lather, and I'm all set. Since I'm not soaking the knot, I'll often skip the brush scuttle as well. I finished up the usual stuff. The Floid Vigoroso provided a mild powdery menthol hit, just about perfect for a cold Saturday morning. My Bride likes the scent of Vigoroso, so that's a plus.
We turned on the furnace for the first time this morning...and it worked! It has been a nice morning of relaxing, Bible study (I use the
McCheyne Reading Plan), and catching up on news. We're already into the second pot of coffee, and we haven't ruled out a third pot later today. I heard rumblings from the Boss that a roast; potatoes, carrots, & onions from the garden; beef broth; and cream of mushroom soup may be going into the crock pot this morning.
We're hoping for a quiet and joyful weekend. I hope you all have a great one as well!
