Slept like shit last night so didn't want to think too hard about the shave. Traded in the MOAR BOAR this morning for the teeny tiny boar that punches way above its minuscule size. Ended up being a damn fine shave to put me in a slightly better mood.
I'm in desperate need of coffee and doing a whole lot of nothing today. Have a great day all!

Late post as I forgot I was going on a little trip this weekend. The Numbers' joined another couple for a bit of day drinking at Lil Beaver Brewery yesterday afternoon, before heading to Arcadia and the Pinball Palace. Unknown to us at the time, MCLean, IL is a dry town. So that meant we had to travel to Atlanta, IL for more beers and some food last night, before returning and overnighting in one of the Hotel Arcadia spaces. It was a fun little trip.
Going to stick with this tube of Proraso Red for the rest of the month. This tube was part of the April 2022 run, and it's about finished, so I hope to kill it off this week.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This WR4 feels amazingly comfortable and BBS 2-pass shaves (without any cleanup) are effortless. This may just be the best safety razor I've used. I'm going to shave with the Vector tomorrow to see if I'm just fooling myself.

Some more Batavia Barber to finish out the week. Solid scent.

It's 33 degrees here, I'm melting. Things should cool down a bit two days hence.
Have a good day!

Good shave and some powerful menthol after. Very hot day and lot’s to do outside, stay cool people.
Enjoyable shave overall, my last with this particular blade, and it paired quite well with the Old Type.

Adagio is good, really good. It's very much a warm weather scent. Cherry and lime make for a clean, fresh lather.
The 7'OC-SS felt a little rough tonight, and I'll probably bin it once I get home.

The menthol in this balm, though light, should help with the heat outside today.

Super mild and nice. Got a great lather even with hard water. 2 or 3 more shaves left in this tub.
