So I totaled my car yesterday. Some freak windstorm blew a construction barrel onto the freeway. I swerved to avoid it (NEVER SWERVE!) and lost control of my car. After sliding across four lanes of traffic, a girl in the far right lane couldn't help but hit me. I slid along the barrier for about 20 feet and came to a stop. Both cars were totaled, but amazingly no one was injured. I'm so glad that no other cars were involved, and that a Kia Spectra hit me instead of a semi truck
And so I live to shave another day. Let me tell you gentleman, I appreciated today's relaxing, calming shave more than any other before it.

Prep: Hot Shower
Lather: CO Bigelow + Shave Secret Oil + Glycerine
Brush: Heritage Shaving Pure Badger Hair
Strop: SRD 2" Latigo
Razor: Dovo Silver Steel
Astringent: Thayer's
AS: Burt's Bees ASB and Clubman
Comments: First shave in over a week due to some crazy life events. It was so nice and relaxing to get a shave in - I remembered why we do this. Really clears your head for the day. It was fun and felt really nice taking off a full beard. First time using the Burt's Bees ASB, can't say I loved it. ASBs seem to leave my face extra greasy. Happy shaving everyone, have a great weekend.

A long hot shower this morning.
I chose the Omega 48 to lather Benton Clay, as always it did a stupendous job of lathering.
Today was the fourth day for the Fat Boy (dialed at #5) loaded with the "Black Ninja".
I have have impressed with this combo and how great the shaves have been.
After a great three pass shave I had a warm water rinse. Then a North Pole splash. Crowned the shave with Colonia.
Summary a DFS.
22 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
