Ok so this morning I did an hour of sauna (20 minutes) then a quick rinse in the shower followed by a cold plunge (2) minutes. They call it the Wim Hof method. Joe rogan does this shit or something. I dunno, I’m not trying to sell anybody minerals that purify your blood, I have no idea if this is actually healthy, but it feels really fucking good. Came home, splashed hot water on my face, then got a great shave in. Easy. Peasy.

SIDETRACKED (I/Teufelskraft)

Radiohead is a great band that I feel like I missed in college. While lots of other people were discovering them, I never game them a listen until a few years ago.

Fun fact about High and Dry - Thom Yorke originally performed a version of the song with a band called Headless Chickens.

Happy Sunday to all.

#UNCHALLENGE

Austere August, Day 14:

Feather Artist Club razor non folding

Feather Professional blade (8)

GFT Violets soap

RazoRock Beehive 28 mm Plissoft

After using the Professional blade daily, I'm sensing that the blade is behaving more consistently and smoothness is holding up nicely.

I'm spoilt with choices, and many times it us difficult to stock to a set-up without such opportunities; I'm very happy to be able to participate in AA2022.

SOTD for August 14, 2022

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Maggard Synthetic
• Razor: RazoRock Game Changer 0.68
• Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
• Lather: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man
• Post Shave: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man balm

Night shave after a sweaty day. Thought it would be cold and windy at the park, it was actually balmy, and my poor clothing decisions made that worse.

One pass, no nicks, no cuts, feeling good.

Knee is bothering me, so I don't know if I'll be running again soon. It's totally fine in the normal range of motion, but if I have a straight leg it lights up, which is really odd, I'm not sure what I've done to it. Should probably try and figure out some other kind of fitness plan, or I'm liable to turn into a blob person.
