• Brush: AP Shave Co. 26mm G5C
• Razor: Blackland Vector
• Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (AC) (12)
• Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Homecoming
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Homecoming

Today’s theme is all about fall. To give y’all some insight into my life, I want to showcase our local/state take on a national tradition. As a current Texas high school teacher, and former Texas high school student, there isn’t really a time more important in the fall than Homecoming week. Usually held in October, Homecoming is marketed as a chance for former students to come back and interact with the community. In reality it’s a week long nightmare built to infuriate me as an educator. Y’all these stupid fucking mums are the worst. The kids where them all week long, they’re covered in literal bells, whistles, and other distracting items, and half of them are bigger than the child wearing them. If you haven’t tried taking a test while your neighbor jangles like a cat every time they shift, I don’t recommend it. The week culminates in a school dance, and a big important football game that 12,000 people will show up to watch your terrible school team lose. Don’t believe me? Check out this video. That is not my district, but I teach at a similarly sized school with an even larger stadium for high school football. I’m one of those weirdos that thinks school exists for knowledge and not for experiences (aka a math teacher), so I’ll never understand the appeal of Homecoming. But I wanted to take the Fall theme day to shout it out anyways.

Today’s shave was great. 2 pass head shave with a quick 1 pass face shave to finish off the lather. The picture is gross. This is probably going to be my AA software.

Healthy Activity of the Day: The PBs are rolling in. 7 miles today, probably could’ve gone more if the temp didn’t break 100F. LG Mileage: 53 miles
