July 8, 2023 – Maggard Monday, right?
- Brush: Maggard 24mm Tux Synth
- Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed
- Blade: Bic Chrome (2)
- Lather: Maggard Razors – Orange Menthol
- Post Shave: The Holy Black – Tangerine Creeper
Got up this morning and went out for a 10 mile run. It was 80 degrees and 88% humidity because Florida is trying to kill me. Somewhere around the 6.5 mile mark, my back suddenly started feeling cold. I figured the ice in my hydration backpack had shifted. Nope, the water bladder had sprung a leak and started dumping water down my back, which ran down my legs, which soaked my shoes. Fun times.
Had a nice cold shower and then broke out the Maggard Razors Orange Menthol soap for a head shave. Got a nice lather built up in the scuttle and then did a single ATG pass with the flare tip superspeed. I’ve apologized to this razor many times. I thought it was a crappy razor when I first got it but it turns out I just had crappy technique. It’s actually a lovely little razor.
Now I’m sitting here with my feet up watching it rain and thinking about how good my long run day ice cream sandwich is going to taste this afternoon. Older daughter stole one of my ice cream sandwiches earlier in the week and I had to tell her that she could have one any time she walks or runs 10 miles. She hasn’t touched them since.
