    I really could have held off shaving until tonight or tomorrow, but I decided that I needed some aromatherapy because it is gloomy outside. I chose Stirling Satsuma to brighten up my day!
    I believe this is the first time that I have used the VDH razor more than once in less than 30 days since I joined TSD. I don't use it much because I like more aggressive razors. I only use it when I have just a little over 24 hrs growth. Anyway, on a 2 pass shave with a lot of buffing, I got a nice BBS shave without incidents. Hit the face with the alum and there was very little feedback. Applied the witch hazel and the wonderful smelling aftershave and I am all set. Somehow, I tend to like scents that have the letter c in the beginning, like citrus, cologne, Christmas Eve and Cella. Mmm! Have a great day guys!

    MICROMATIC MONDAY
    Next to last work Monday. Wooo hoooo! I finished off another sample of soap that was in the accompanying mug. My focus this week and perhaps next will be mug soap shaves on the off 1508.5 Random 3 days. This soap offered up a slick, yet thin lather. If worked well with the MMBT with a new blade to give a close and comfortable shave.

    It is finals week at work. Significantly different than previous years due to the pandemic. It the past, after the final exam the students were dismissed which allowed us to do the grading and any other end of year work. This year the students stay for the remainder of the day with shortened periods.

    I wonder what next year will bring. Oops, I forgot, no my worry. :git:
    Have a great day gentlemen.
