SoS; April 2018

Serenity of a Sunday shave, mid-day... Afternoon delight!

 

You got me. I reserved a Tesla Model 3 2 years ago, and last week my number finally came up. I configured my car and they said 3-6 weeks. I had to go with the red. Hopefully it doesn't become a ticket magnet!

I'm a car guy near the motor city and have been in the business my whole career. In my latest role, I am responsible for electrification in NA and manage non-traditional OEM accounts like Faraday, Tesla, Lucid, etc. I also support the big 3 accounts as they focus on hybrids and fuel cells. I was just out in San Fran about a month ago and finally had the opportunity to see the Model 3 in person at the Tesla HQ. It looked great and it fired me back up for my car. I'll be honest, I'll miss my V8 Hemi, but am eager to try the new tech.

Great shave tonight. Figured I'd mix it up a bit for thus one.
Used the Injector, and I will use it the rest of the week, until I get it dialed in just right.

 

Great Sunday shave after about a 15 hour hibernation.
I figured I'd break out the Injector and give her a go this week.
Loving the new scent and the new brush.

Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Well, it was bound to happen. The Qshave on a wide open 6 had to bite at least once in three shaves. Can't blame the razor or the blade, though. It was all operator error. Working on the second pass on my left jaw thinking about who knows what, totally complacent and self-assured in my skills and I opened up the gap and felt the bite. Took a bit to see blood but it was obvious once it started. Now, as to the rest of the shave? BBS baby. Just that one stupid technique error. Just a reminder to pay attention when playing with the big boy toys.

The JR54 and Arko, of course, were a no problem winner. That will do it for the Qshave this time around. Tomorrow I have a razor lined up (yes it's adjustable) that I'm pretty sure nobody has shaved with this month.
