TFIF!

I think my wife and I are going to a shoreline cleanup day this Saturday, but otherwise having a chill weekend at home.

I hope to make more progress in Hollow Knight: Silksong over the weekend. It's a great game, but I can't play for very long in a single sitting.

Very nice haul. The Master is probably my favorite barbershop scent from the ones I’ve tried so far.

Ace also sounds fantastic, and that razor head looks very interesting. Somewhat more rounded than other designs I’ve seen (?).

Congrats again on the achievement!

Verdigris is a nice scent for a warm day. Today's our wedding anniversary, so I went with my wife's favorite splash/frag.

After a week of shaves on this razor without stropping, it's still going strong. If anything it's settled into a more comfortable place, though I did slice myself pretty badly on my upper lip (user error). At least I know it's still sharp.

I'll continue to push the edge to see when I can notice it start to drop off.

Good luck with the Monday y'all!

Premium++; it's so good.
