Old school for a twelve year old

 

Thanks Clint!

 

Thank you kind sir

 

I have to say, broheeme and broteamshake are new to me-let alone homeslice.

 

I grew up in the inner city of Miami, born and raised, I'm soon to be 42 and that's always existed.

 

ohhh ok..perhaps that;s where the ad was filmed(for Geico)

No, that was inspired by meatheads!

 

My goodness Guy!

 

Thank you Sir Robert!

 

Thank you Paul. I have indeed split my fair share of logs in my lifetime, seeing as we supplement out heating with a wood stove. Also, I have visited Abe's boyhood home in Indiana. His mother, Mary Todd Lincoln is also buried there. It's worth a visit.

 

Terrific set up Guy. The Steampunk As-D2 is looking great!

 

Thank you for the advice. I saw that they sold out soon as it was released a while back. I will check these out for sure on saturday. Really looking forward to meeting the people behind some of the great artisan soaps on the market.

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: MLS Sandalwood pre shave butter
Razor: Gillette Black Beauty (6)
Blade: Silver Star (2nd shave)
Brush: omega s synthetic
Soap: RazoRock Tuscan Oud
Post: Osage Rub/ County Club Southern Oud aftershave



2 pass shave this evening. Love the scent of Tuscan Oud, the performance of the lanolin formula is excellent as well. The Silver Star Blade has been working pretty good, even though Blade testing can be rough. Ended up with a decent shave, and finished off with Southern Oud. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Thanks Joseph!

MAYhem 2016
May 11
Razor - Rimei
Blade - (2)
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Soap - Arko
Post - Cold Rinse, Alum, Nivea

Miracles do happen. Charter managed to get internet back up and running so look out, I'm back! Busy day today with two rounds of storms, massive hail in the first round, massive lightning in the second. All we were lacking was a tornado. Can't win 'em all.

@Drygulch picked the shave today, with the help of the shaving gods, and it wasn't horrible, wasn't great. Another day on the Shark, the second this month, and I'm still not impressed. The mild Rimei stopped any chance of bloodletting but the blade is not the smoothest for sure. The Arko lather with the Silvertip though, perfection achieved. So if it's any consolation I was left feeling a bit irritable by feeling that Shark do its thing and only get me to high CCS. I thought I'd give it a barely DFS but I can tell now that it didn't do that good given the amount I'm feeling already.

So, another "meh" shave from a "meh" setup and we're off to tomorrow's @PLAla shave. And, with the exception of one item, it was nearly a dream shave!

Blade - Dorco 300
Razor - Aristocrat
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Wolf Whiskers

Take out that Dorco and I'm dancing in the den! Oh, what the heck, I'm dancing anyway. Next up after tomorrow is @Joe Babb and his pick of all 1's. More on that tomorrow! Hope you all had a great day. Sorry I'm running late. I'll make sure Charter understands that massive lightning storms are no reason to delay access to TSD! Idiots.
