    Remembering that freedom isn't free, and that many gave everything, I salute them all. My dad was 101st Airborne and dropped in from time to time all over Europe in WWII. Thinking of him on days like today I remember watching him with fascination as he went through his daily shaving ritual. So in his memory, and for all of our band of brothers, I salute your sacrifices. God bless you all, and thanks Dad! Nice shave today, and my Dad loved grapefruit and Old Spice! My Mom was in the Army-Aircore and just turned 91! Thank you Mom for keeping us free.

    Thanks! The Colt is a polished stainless Officers model from 1985. My gunsmith totally worked it over, full guide rod, hand checkered front and back, and a 3.5 oz trigger pull. Oh yea, laser sights. I've had it since new, and it goes where I go.

    Taking time on this Memorial Day here in the US to honor our brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their life to defend our freedom. May they never be forgotten!!

    Pre - Hot shower with Neutrogena Men's Invigorating face wash
    Razor - Birth year (1964) Gillette Slim Twist (Really love this razor)
    Blade - Astra SP (2)
    Brush - For the first time I used my Ever Ready 100T - I was surprised how well it worked. I don't think the previous owner fully broke it in. If all goes well, I will use it for the next several weeks.
    Soap - Proraso Green
    Finished with a warm rinse, Maggard's alum block and Lucky Tiger AS & Face Tonic

    A wonderful two pass shave with just a few touch ups.

    Mondays shave

    I needed something that would mow down 2 days if growth. The R41 with a feather blade proved to be the perfect for the job. I had a wonderfully comfortable shave that left me feeling super smooth. A fine way to start the week.



    Razor - R41
    Blade - Feather
    Lather - MDC fougere
    Brush - Razorock Plissoft
    Aftershave - Nivea balm

    M-1911 is a great weapon. Mine looked a little beat up, but never let me down.
    Outstanding post Don. :happy096:

    MONDAY
    Mid-morning holiday shave today with a vintage 'Pipe' razor from Geo Wostenholm & Son. Smooth & 'noisy' 'extra-hollow' blade is a dream to use, although the über-thin bone scales feel 'smallish' in my large hands. The Stirling 'Coniferous' soap is strong in menthol and provides great 'face-freeze'—terrific on a hot day such as today. Wm Neumann balm to finish a super shave!
    Have a great Monday, all!

    Thank you very much Mark. I keep in touch with the Mother of a Marine who was KIA right beside me. She is in her 90's now. She is so grateful I was with Ricky Lee at the time of his death.
