October 16 Gillette Super Speed Red Tip (A3) Feather (1) JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle with Omega 10098 boar knot Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Alt-Innsbruck Cologne/Aftershave I used JR#160 this morning in honor of Jayaruh's 70th birthday yesterday. He crafted the handle from a "bat nib" obtained from the lathe at the Louisville Slugger Bat Factory, and he harvested a boar knot from an Omega Pro 98 brush handle. It is one of my favorite brushes and a treasured addition to my den! I hope you all have a great Monday!

These are good to have on-hand for a super quick no-hassle shave. Achieved a nice 1 pass DFS this morning. Bada-boom! - and out the door. I really love the scent of the Barbasol Sensitive cream. I can still smell a hint of it now, hours after the shave. Happy Fall to all in the northern hemisphere.
