    I had his actor name confused with his real name-Bill Shatner.

    One of the reasons I stopped working for a large corporation years ago, now I work for private equity investors running mid size businesses. It removed the politics and greatly reduced the overly long navel introspection conference calls.

    SOTD 3.7.2018 (Williams Wednesday)
    Face Shave (2 days) & Head Shave (5 days)
    Pre-shave: hot shower
    Brush: Barburys synthetic
    Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Razor & blade (face): CJB pain stick & Feather Professional (4)
    Razor & blade (head): Merkur 1904 OC & Family Dollar DE (1)
    Post-shave: Thayer's Lavender WH, Nivea Men Sensitive PS Balm, Jeris Musk AS / Cologne
    Background: 1977 Dean Friedman album

    4th shave this month with the pain stick.... today it went extremely well. I did not bleed at all. No nicks, cuts, weepers or anything. It's still a challenge on the neck but I just take it easy and take my time. I'm doing no more than 1 pass on my cheeks (really don't need more than that), and 1 pass on the neck with some clean-up. If I try 2 passes overall I have some irritation. No irritation today, however. The Williams lather performed amazingly well. The Jeris Musk was the perfect conclusion to the experience today.

    I forgot I had this album. I bought this one (for the price you see on the it) when I was in high school because I liked the song Ariel.

    Finally, before the Cookies vs. Fruitcake conflict gets out of hand.... I have Banana Bread! :eatdrink047:

    Happy shaves, all!

    I seem to remember several of you guys mentioning Oleo Soapworks. Anybody have the duck fat version and/or have thoughts about the scents?

    That’s what I’m talking about Dan! Throw a slice of that banana bread in the toaster and spread some cream cheese on it, and you are making the cookies and fruitcake crowd look like the proletariat!

    That is with the possible exception of anyone who got those thin white iced cookies that people make at Christmastime. Those are my favorite, and it’s rumored that Boris is quite good at decorating them.

    Congrats on the blood free shave with the pain stick. You are mastering it very quickly.

    Cold water

    ATT S1
    Astra SP (5)
    SOC boar
    B&M Soap
    Thayers Witch Hazel
    B&M Reserve AS

    Good evening all. A lot of nice shaves and mmmm banana bread!!
    Two pass shave with touch up. DFS. The alum was just a bit more noticeable with this shave but not bad at all. The Astra was a bit tuggy, she's done. I'm enjoying the scents and performance of the B&M soaps. I always whip up way too much, I need plenty to get up my nose and in my ears. :)
    Looking forward to my next shave and reading about all of yours!

    Thursday shave:

    This brush was made Jason and he filled it with a Omega Pro knot. I have been breaking it in and today was it's first use for a shave. The Tabac resfuses to die and seems to be regenerating despite my heavy loading. The J West is a shorty but a heavy grind so it has some weight to it. Four passes and a nice blood free, irritation free shave.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A Smoothness A+ Sharpness A

    Razor: J West
    Strop: Dry Gulch black latigo
    Brush: Handle by Jason with a Omega Pro knot
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Tabac
    AS: Speick AS, L’ Occitane ASB
    Scent: Zoologist Rhinoceros

    So this morning the shavette bit me. Got a nice little cut on my chin lol. But other than that smoothest shave I’ve gotten so far.

    Drat! We don't have any cream cheese on hand.

    Hey.... Vanilla ice cream! Maybe some banana bread a la mode!

    That's what we're talking about!

    Thanks, Clint!

    :cool:

    She is beautiful, and you are a lucky man.

    My youngest just turned eighteen last month, college has been chosen, and it honestly just about floored me when I realized I have five months left.

    You, me and Clint. Am I missing anyone?

    Much appreciated. The saving Grace is that she plans to go to school locally.

    @NCoxSTL , just when things start going well, someone creates a new revolution and starts causing trouble. The Cartel is aware and all baked goods imports to Florida have been halted.

    I'll send Natalia with Ivan to "discuss" the issue with our errant comrade. Good work to you. You have proven your loyalty to the Cartel.

    Trying to get caught up on all of these posts.... terrific set-ups and photos as well, guys. For those who didn't have the best of shaves today, remember there's always next time.
