SoS; January 2018.

Steve.

 

Wonderful shave this morning, loaded the Mamba with a Personna Lab Blue, smooth and efficient. Blue Fougere whipped up very nicely with the RazoRock 400. Ive always face lathered up until I got this soap, having to use a bowl has given me some of the best suds I've ever had. I'm all in

Have a blessed day.

 

Happy Birthday Douglas! I hear Chesty Puller is stopping by for some cake. Best save him a piece.....you know how he gets.

 

Happy Birthday Doug

 

Thanks very much. Don't worry I'll save lots of cake for Chesty. He can have it all if he wants.

 

Thanks a bunch Clint. You got your Georgia vs Alabama match up. Should be a great game.

 

It will be interesting for sure. We are a house divided with my wife and I being Georgia Alumni and my daughter attending Alabama.

 

I hope it all works out.

Happy Birthday my friend...

 

Thanks very much. I appreciate your kind words.

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Maseto 24mm ST
Soap: P&B Solaris
Razor: Treet SE
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Cella AS

I bought this razor for the handle, also thinking it was Treet's version of a 1912.
But when I received it, I noticed the safety bar was actually more akin to a Clog Pruf than a 1912. I don't know which came first, the MMCP or the Treet. If anyone could tell me, I would appreciate it.
Well after all that waffle, you might want to know how it shaved?
Not bad, very smooth but it struggled with the grey sections of my stubble and it wouldn't be my choice as a daily driver.

 

Happy Birthday Douglas.

 

I probably wrote this before, as I think it was you who wrote once before about your "house divided", but on the Thanksgiving 1971 "Game Of The Century" Nebraska-Oklahoma, we had some division working. It was like a Ping-Pong match, with my Aunt(OU alum)and my Dad and his brother(they lived in York and Lincoln for many years of their childhood)going back and forth with "YAAAYY!".

 

Thanks amigo! Have a great day Doug!!!

 

Happy Birthday Amigo!!

 

Happy Birthday, Doug. You are ten months older than me.

 

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Col. Conk Amber
Jayaruh #144
Gillette New Improved
Astra SP
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Barbasol AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Col. Conk Amber Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. I did two passes with the Gillette New Improved and an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
