    A late but enjoyable shave today. Two passes with very little touch up for an excellent BBS shave.

    Thanks Doug, one of my new shave towels as background. New puppy seems to like chewing on my older ones.

    Sounds like you need to put some pepper grounds in one of your towels and let the puppy chew on that. :)
    Should turn him off towels real quick.

    :happy102:

    You want pepper corns, so the pup has to bit into it. Then I would wash the towel before using it. :happy088:

    Haven't had time to post lately. Always something else consuming my time.
    Here is one for Williams Wednesday - yesterday (I think that's a real thing - right)?
    Matador_WilliamsAV.jpg
    RAZOR: Matador Toro Mastiff Largo - gold; this is an EXCELLENT DE razor. Geometry is aggressive, you can really feel the blade - shave with care.
    BLADE: Dorco ST300 - reasonably decent blade. I have been trying these out on a variety of my DE's since I got them for a great price.
    BRUSH: Ever Ready 200T - bought this one new back in my youth. Good boar brush- a little to much loft for me but builds a respectable lather.
    MUG: Old Spice Shave Mug - was my Dad's shave mug. I have another one just like it. Bought both of them new back in the day.
    SOAP: Williams Mug Shave soap - one of my staple products. This soap always delivers for me.
    PRESHAVE: Rite Aid Renewal Skin Cleansing Cream - a Noxzema clone - nice beard prep with cool menthol feel
    AFTERSHAVE: Aqua Velva Ice Blue - sweet cooling menthol with just the right amount of burn (due to the aggressive razor)
    BALM: Maison The Collection MOROCCAN Mint Tea Hand Lotion - MORE menthol

    Maybe I should have had this shave on Menthol Monday - OH Yeah. I did!
