    I prefer Tito's Vodka out of TX its smoother and cheaper. I'm a CNA and a licensed Med Tech. I also have had Combat Life Saver courses I have completed. I have medical supplies overflowing a closet. Maybe you should move closer to me for when Ivan gets cheeky?

    It's not often that I shave twice in a day. Today started very early with a shave with my Type D before heading to the airport. Tonight I had a business dinner and realized it had been 17 hours since I shaved. Time for a touchup, so I got out my G-5 travel razor and did a one pass shave which is all it took to get a DFS after the BBS earlier in the day. My 21 hour day is over. Good night

    It's another no shave Monday for me. I am still at a CCS level of smoothness after yesterday's wonderful shave. I am heading in late this morning as I am taking the kids to school. Hope everyone has a great Monday.

    March focus shave 13

    Prep: Warm shower
    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick G1 Injector
    Brush: Satin Tip 'ThePurest' synthetic
    Lather: Proraso Green shaving soap
    Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero after shave, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Cold Water.jpg

    Nice shave this morning with the Schick G1. It mowed right through a 2-day beard growth. One pass with touch-up leads to a CCS. The cold water, Proraso Green, and TSD SubZero all combined for a chilly, invigorating start to the day.

    Hope your Monday is a good one!

    Second shave with a Feather in my Birth Quarter Super Speed and my first shave with Chiseled Face Sherlock. I really like this soap. Very slick, nice aroma and it provided very good cushion. Did my typical 2 passes and touch up. The reduction was very good. I chased the baby for a bit and thought I might have caught him. But once again wound up with 2 spots that still have stubble. Kind of strange. When I hold my head normally or stretch my neck and feel, it is all BBS. But when I hold my chin to my chest and turn my head, I'm feeling a small amount of stubble at the end my neck on both sides. :signs002:

    I hope everyone has a nice Monday.

    After a weekend of sub par shaves, it was nice to get back in the grove with a great shave to start the week. I am starting to get this brush dialed in on the water/soap ratio. The knot is so dense and holds so much water that I have realized I need to squeeze the water out of the knot before loading. With this trick in mind, the Tiki lathered very easily and the strong scent helped eliminate the last of the badger funky smell in the knot. Going with a 2 pass shave, XTG & ATG, with minor touch ups ended in a near BBS. This is more than good enough for a work day. Finished off with a splash of Fine L'Orange. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    Fantastic shave. It feels great to go back to the first DE I bought, and to have great shaves. Valobra Almond is very nice, think Cella but a tad better IMO.

    I had never considered my own private medic, but I like the idea. Saves time and blood loss.

    Soap: Route 66 Frozen Margarita
    A/S: Booster Barber Shop Classic Iced Lime

    Excellent lather today with the Frozen Margarita. This soap has a juicy note of Mexican lime and sea salt, light hints of plum, berries and apple over mid notes of rose and jasmine; anchored with earthy, freshly cut hay, topped with a light dash of cooling menthol. It is long lasting, slick lather protective cushion and glide soothing post shave conditioning.
