Good shave to kick off the work week! The Brain Freeze has just enough chill to wake me up and get me alert in the morning! I like the way it builds. It doesn’t get nearly overwhelming like Frost Byte (although I like that), but it does get pretty icy. And topping it off with the mentholated Fine Platinum just keeps it going nicely.
Tossed a Shark Stainless blade in the New Long Comb. It’s a pretty good combo. The last time I used a Shark it was in my Tech head, so I was curious on how it’d do in the New. I wasn’t disappointed. While still not one of the sharpest blades, it was pretty smooth in the New. No tugging or skipping. I did get one unexpected small weeper but I think that was due to me using more pressure than usual. Like I said, the Shark isn’t the sharpest blade so I had to hit a couple areas more than once. But still ended up with a DFS.
Sunday turned out to be an adventure. Ended up at a place called Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park. It’s a small wild life refuge kind of stuck in the middle of farm country west of Grand Rapids, MI. Surrounded by dairy farms I was skeptical, especially because it didn’t look that impressive from the street. Well that was before I saw the bison! Oh and this guy…
Now that expression on his face is gonna be stuck in your brain all day! have a great Monday 😉
