Two+ days of being very sick lead to lots of stubble that needed clearing this morning. Combining two of Charles excellent soaps helped me accomplish this task to a magnitude that gamma radiation particles are bouncing off my ultra-BBS face this morning! Still sick though, oh well.

Family vacation. Hurricaine season. Raining and thunderstorms predicted for the week! There'll be no variety in this posting for the next two weeks.

After a weekend of finishing phase two of the backyard redo, going back to work will be, well, if not great and wonderful, at least not physically taxing. Man, my shoulders are killing me.

The shave set up for the week is:

Olive oil soap as a pre-shave,
1940's gold Gillette tech (a lot of the plating has worn off)
Crystal Blade, first time using one of these
Palmolive green
Dickinson's witch hazel
Euphoria ASB (figured out the scent of it, verbena)

The Crystal and the Tech go well together. That old razor has been used a bunch in the past, but it still shaves as if this is the first day. I will have a BBS shave to get into work and whine about my sore muscles.

Coffee: Cameroon Caplami Java, home-roasted, hand-ground, and brewed in a Bodum French press
Music: WMUD, streaming over the Internet here

1921 Gillette silver-plated "New Improved" w/Israeli Personna blade
"Frank", Sterling-silver pure-badger shaving brush
"Nora", Sterling-silver shaving mug
SCS Sandalwood Rose shaving cream
No styptic pencil

Music: the sound of a downpour after a nice and sunny weekend
Drink: Imber living water
