The Shave...
Today was maybe the closest I've been to a no shave day in
long time, but at 7:00 this evening I decided to throw a quick 1 pass shave together. No chasing, no focusing on missed spots, no buffing, just wipe lather off and call it good. Parts of me are CCS levels; to start a day like this would not be enough for me, but right before bed, and with a 3 pass Slim shave coming up tomorrow morning… I’m gooood!
What wasn’t good was the lather. I’m having the devil of a time trying to get anything other than fluff, and I played it super safe today. Overloaded the brush, very little water, and gradually added as I went. By the end of the shave (and it was a quick one), my lather had the consistency of dish-washing suds--fluffy and dry. I’ve got two or three shaves left , but I’m not terribly tempted to use them. It smells so nice, though, that I’ll try it one more time (perhaps tomorrow… get back on that horse, so to speak).
Looking forward to tomorrow’s Slim Jim Easter shave, and maybe some baby catching. Stranger things have happened
Enjoy your Saturday night, everyone!
39 down, 61 to go!
