Shavette Shave #14
Okay. School closure till April 13th--the place is a ghost town. Teachers locked away in their rooms trying to come up with a month’s worth of meaningful assignments for students to work on. Honestly, I could have come here in pajamas, but that feels like admitting defeat.
Instead, I threw on my favorite pair of slacks, a dark grey button up shirt, and tied my gray, black, and purple striped tie in a trinity knot. No virus is keeping me from doing what I do.

The Shave...
A 2 pass shave today with some chinnish touch ups. 1st pass (WTG) went well except for a spot under my chin that I wound up catching with the blade--there was blood, and it kept bleeding after the 1st cold water rinse… buh, buh… BUHHHHM! It disappeared by the end of the shave, so no styptic. Huzzah!
Pass 2 was the standard hybrid of XTG/ATG, and that went without issue other than a minor weeper that disappeared before I even got to the 2nd cold water rinse.
Rinsed off, cleaned up, threw on some AV (almost no sting), and I’m at a DFS with no irritation. Great results, but I went slow and steady today. I take that back; I went
sloooow and steady today.
I think I might just stick with 2 WTG passes for the remainder of the week and see what that feels like. I’m a fickle little monkey, but for now that sounds like an interesting idea.
Have a fantastic day and week, and keep on being awesome!
14 down, 86 to go!
