Here it is for Saturday's planned shave**

Prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Ultimate Clean)-in shower
Shave-Rise Super Foam
Razor-the blue Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-TSD Splash(Russian Leather added)*
*-we're in the middle of a chilly period-The TSD oughta warm me up some.
**-Gonna try it with the bathroom lights on-I'm getting sick and tired of Hallway Shaving. I'll go back out there if they flicker on me.

 

How's the lighting in your kitchen? I prefer the higher counter, better water flow, & deeper sink. Not sure how SWMBO would take it but I don't have to deal with that here in my Manly Shave Den of Solitude.

 

kitchen lighting's fine. In fact, I did it there once or twice a few years ago. ....had to bring my bedroom mirror in(it doesn't hang on a wall). Might try that again. Landlord will be here Wednesday.

 

Great picture, Richard!

 

Thank you Jim! There are lots of teachers here giving me lessons every day.

I have a plan of attack to catch up around here. Starting tomorrow I'll go through 15 pages as well as new stuff and, if I can keep at it, should be fully informed again in just a few days. I planned to start that today but we got two new beds in that had to be floored, priced, etc., so no chance. We're in that early summer stage at work where sales aren't quite popping like summer yet but the floor is in constant motion with new beds showing up and discontinued ones selling off floor models. Chaos reigns!

Second shave with the Aristocrat and Sharp Star and if I ever decided to go totally minimalist this would be a contender for the setup. Add the JR46 with the Maggard synthetic knot and there's little to complain about. Really nothing. The Route 66, of course, was thick and slick and I'm still trying to figure out which would be my "one" soap between Route 66, Stirling and Soap Commander. The Fat might still be the top contender there. I have no plans to go minimalist at any point in the near future.

Every time I use a Sharp Star it makes me just a bit sad they were only in production for one year. I need to reassess my supply, multiply by the number needed for 20 years of daily shaving, and buy to match. This is the one blade that I would put on top of the Voskhod. The best of the best. Top dog....or, in my world...........

Have a great weekend!!!!!​

Excellent photo. Looks like a fantastic shave. With my new 1912, I have a deep appreciation now for the GEMs. I have to try the Holy Black. The scent profile just sounds outstanding.

It's a pretty good soap. I really like their Gunpowder and Spice. Just like Old Spice with a little kick.
