Damn Comfortable Shave

Fumbling about.
Monday. Another very good shave.

The ATT X1 is seriously hard to beat. Why have any other razors?

Proline P-30 (~13 shaves on it). I don't flip AC blades.

Shea butter last night. Cube/Tube. Mysterium Serum.

Man, this brush is soft!

Happy shaves,

Jim

We are in agreement regarding the ATT X1 Slant. It is an awesome daily driver! 👍

Continuing with the ATT X1. What a razor!

I am continuing to enjoy the excellent X1.

Yesterday I switched to a new blade. For science.

Well, this ⇡ is wrong. My recent work crisis ate a good bit of my recent vacation. As far as I can tell, the actual-insanity-portion of the crisis is in the past. Now, it's just work. The work though is on top of my already loaded work calendar which means I'm doing what amounts to stupid, pointless-but-100%-necessary work at night, at lunch, and on the weekend.

This will continue for a while, but not forever.

I continue to exercise daily and enjoy my shaves.

Happy shaves to you,

Jim

Praying that you find the best balance, my friend. 🙏

Friday. Proline (3).

Shea butter. Cube/Tube. Mysterium Serum.

The Shavemac brush was the star of the show today. Tons of backbone, super soft, and highly functional, this brush features a beautiful, big handle, and a huge, non-D01 two band knot. The knot was custom ordered in an extra dense configuration which seems to perfectly suit the bristles.

This morning's shave - 14 hours ago - has held up well.

I took the afternoon off work (scheduled), and have been watching episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Happy shaves,

Jim
