Thank you Brian!

 

Clint.

 

Terrific picture, Doug!

 

That is one advantage of having a 10 year spread between kids. I realizes exactly what you are talking about with my oldest. With my little one, I am able to enjoy the now much more.

 

Great picture, Jason!

DECember 29 SOTD:

PAA Atomic Rocket Brush
Razorock Son of Zeus
Gillette Toggle
Stirling Unscented PSB
Fine L'Orange Noir

A late afternoon shave for me, as my wife and I are headed out for the evening. Last time I wore L'Orange Noir, she really liked it, so I thought I would go this route for today, which meant using the Son of Zeus soap. It all paired nicely, and the Toggle delivered another BBS. I am feeling smooth and smelling good, so I am ready for the evening. I hope everyone is having a great day.

 

Beautiful photo Jim ☺️

 

Thank you, buddy! Have a great day!

 

Wow. Great photo Jim. Enjoy your evening out.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

I do not shim blades in anything. I have really found no need too. I liked Igor on his highest setting. I made a couple of videos actually. I really enjoyed the shaves.

 

Mr. Scotty said it would take a week. As usual I gave him an hour. Chop chop Scotty!!

 

My evil plan to take over the world proceeds. I am getting into their heads.

Face and Head shave
Pre-shave: copious cups of black coffee & a hot shower
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft Synthetic
Cream: TOBS Eton College Gentlemen's Shaving Cream
Razor: Gillette Fatboy E-4 (setting Neal)
Blade: Feather (1)
Post-shave: Thayer's Lavender WH, Mont Blanc AS Balm, Mont Blanc edt

At Rick's @RyX suggestion the other day I loaded this E-4 Fatboy with a Feather blade, and cranked 'er up to setting Neal. I had a week's worth of head hair to cut down, and only two days worth of face whiskers.... I flipped my normal routine and went after the scalp shave first. The Feather blade sliced through 7 days of growth on my scalp without feeling any resistance at all. Other than a minor nick it was an uneventful head shave... except it was CCS!

I moved on to the face, again mindful not to touch the goatee, and I achieved BBS after two passes and some clean up on the neck. Besides the BBS shave, I had some blade rash on my neck but it cleared up an hour later. Overall, a very nice shave.

The TOBS Eton College scent is a favorite of mine. The Mont Blanc aftershave products were Christmas gifts from Mom. I can't explain anything about the fragrance other than I find it very pleasant and masculine. The Bride really likes it so big plus.

This talk of revolution, cookie rebellions and world takeovers is very distressing. Let's focus our efforts on achieving world class shaves! Have a great weekend everyone!
