Fine SS - Fresh Vetiver
BSSW Disco - Hybrid Badger
Osiris 10/8
Terre d’Hermes AS & EdP
Several days’ growth mowed down today with the Osiris 10/8 shave hatchet. 2.5 uneventful passes, BBS smooth. Last half pass is what gets the right jawline and neck done, an awkward blade rotation and grip, toe down, nearly ATG, using light landings, along with buffing strokes from ear to chin. Fine’s SS and the Brad Sears Shave Works hybrid badger produced an awesome fragrant & slick lather, used a mix of bowl and face lathering today. Finished with an awesome favorite that lasts all day and into the evening, Terre d’Hermes AS & matching EdP.
Historic weather event we’re having here in Texas, it’s 8 degrees Fahrenheit, feels like temps in the -10F range. Pretty much the same (or colder) for the next 24-48 hours. And….TX’s power grid is overwhelmed. Rolling power outages statewide, we’ve lost power a few times already today, 45 minutes to an hour and a half at a time. Some areas have had outages even longer. Woke up to another 4-5 inches of snow. Today’s image doesn’t come close to showing what’s around. We’re pushing 7-8 inches in our yard & neighborhood. Probably no big deal to most northerners used to this, but for most of TX….literally getting shelter in place emails, texts, phone calls & warnings from city and county departments. Crazy. We’ll be fine…have portable generators, gas fireplace, and plenty of goodies. And….obviously cell service!
