The Jack's soap makes a great lather, and the mild Blue Tip mowed the whisker's efficiently, leaving me BBS & AGAIG. Have a blessed day everyone.

Sorry I haven`t been on for awhile. I`ve been experimenting with 1/2 de blades. Just finished the 6th day. At first I was using 2 different razors, alternating every other day but after the second day, that particular razor just wasn`t suited for 1/2 blades, so I finished the next 4 shaves with the Star 3pc tech ( the other razor shaved alright, but was too difficult to change blades). It would probably be all right without shaky hands. And I had computer problems as well. As far as getting good shaves, I`m going to say the 1/2 blade performed just like the whole ones, no difference. Really nice to be back, I really enjoy this forum and the GENTLEMEN members. Best wishes to all.

Happy Friday!
I picked up this modified SC as part of a lot. One of the combs had been removed. It actually gave me a great shave.

 

Thank you, gentlemen.

 

I've been a big fan of Eno since the 70's. This new album, "The Ship", is more art than pop, more ambience than song, but entertaining and engaging nonetheless. I'm listening to the clear vinyl limited edition which is accompanied by four art prints. The music is spread over two discs.

The scent of the Cosmo is addictive and the performance is excellent so it's moved up quickly in the rotation. The Varlet Orion is always a joy to use so it comes up in the rotation regularly. I'm using the Cobra every day for a while to get to know it better, we're becoming close friends quickly. I'll finish with a Saponificio Varesino AS. All good stuff.

Have a great weekend everyone.​

 

Good picture.

Excellent photo.

 

Great shot.

 

Excellent picture. Have to love Lucky Tiger.

 

ahhh, you have the "Country Club"(man ). I think Arlington is now shown on the Clubman website.

 

When mixing two hard soaps, I usually load one onto the brush and rub the other on my face. It works really well for me.

 

Good to know. Thanks.

 

Razor: Merker Futur Polished Chrome 2015 (1.5)
Brush: Rubberset 400 #3 WD 24/50 Silvertip (Jedi Lightsaber)
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream/Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
Blade: Feather (1)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice Lime original Shulton AS Frosted Glass 1960s

Swirled up some Bourbon Jungle into my favorite OS mug. The Silvertip whipped up some nice warm lather. The Bourbon Jungle by Route 66 gives a great slick cushion. The Futur made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. I really like how easy it is to shave with. A little touchup on my neck ATG and done. The Cucumber WH felt good, nice and fresh. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some Old Spice Lime from the 1960s. Nice! Y'all have a good one!

 

Very nice photo @ObiDon. Excellent A/S.

Day 12 in Natchez, MS
Shave #9
Interestingly, The KK is no longer heating up my face by the third pass...technique
So, I had another enjoyable shave that left me with a "rosy" outlook on life.
Back on line thanks to two AT&T techs that worked for two hours to correct some issue.
Carmen has been staged, but now I am dealing with some soloists and chorus members and a virus that seems to be going around.
If it's not one thing, it's another. Oh well, the show will go on.
FYI, Natchez is celebrating its tricentennial this year! 300 years and counting.
Life is good.
Have a great day!​

 

Thanks! The Lime is my favorite
