SoS; January 2018.

I’ve been experimenting with my yellow/green Thuri by incrementally adding time and strokes on each refresh to feel the impact of a few minutes more each time. Tonight was the third iteration on the stones and the Big Napoleon performed wonderfully. A two pass shave on a two day old beard is a great test bed and I’ve got that face-rubbing thing going on.

An excellent shave with this beast. My favorite TTO of All-Time. Nothing but a BBS finish after 2 passes and minor touch ups. The Stache Soapworks has a very nice aquatic scent with better than average performance. Not top tier, but certainly more than capable of holding its own. Have a great evening and shaves Gents.... ​

 

Classic setup & handsome photo Dan!

Much better, thank you! Got his catheter and surgery site gauze absorbent stitches out and off. Still a bloody mess, taking pain pills and sedatives all day long, but home, alive and inside getting attention! Good thing too with the temps where they've been this week in North Texas. He doesn't care for the cold as much as I... I think he needs more fur!

This shave was simply amazing ! The soap was awesome and the scent was really nice! It did smell like air freshener pine scent but then the spice and sweetness kicked in. The post shave was simply awesome. This razor and blade combo was magic! Smooth as silk !

 

I am very glad to hear that! He looks so cute lying there resting. He looks quite content in spite if the issues he’s having. I wish you both all the best while he gets better. Thanks!
