    Late post due to an enjoyable family day at Splish Splash, LI’s water park. Anthony had a wonderful time with his cousins.

    I am keeping with the by rum theme on the days that I do not work on the 1508.5 Project. Today’s selection is preparation shave for the upcoming Fall season. I do enjoy using this scent throughout the year.

    Jck Skully whipped up a nice lather for the three pass shave with the AC type Shavette. The razor delivered a close and comfortable shave. I did develop weeper but the left side burn after the first pass. Miraculously s it paper, it disappeared in the same fashion before I was finished with the second pass.

    I will be shaving predominately with a straight razor, including the Tedalus Essence, for the remaining time prior to my surgery. Of course there will be Micromatic Monday. Post surgery I would imagine initially I will rely on my DEs, GEMS and injectors until I have same movement in the right shoulder. Regardless, I will receive excellent shaves.

    Have a great day gentlemen.

    Thank you Joe. Glad I finished all of the wood splitting chores. Yesterday I finished painting the walls of the bathroom. I have to finish the molding. The worst part.
    Yesterday was not overly hot but I worked up a hell of a sweat. I am either going to have to attack the molding early in the morning or wait until early next week.

    Very nice shave Danny. Don’t you just love it when you have to become n engineer to fix a flaw in the design of a newly acquired tool.

    Glad you are feeling a little better this morning.

    Great shave Joe. I figured with your limited mobility after your surgery that you would rely on your safety razors. Hopefully, you will be back to straight shaving as soon as you are able. I keep thinking of Bobby Darin when I think of Splish Splash. Glad you guys had fun at the waterpark.

    Great shavette shave, Joe! I think you’ll find the Tedalus when loaded with a Feather Super shaves as well as any of your straights.
