SoS; March 2018

Everybody knows the German word for Menthol is "Munthil"

 

I think this is a Jeff imposter! I never heard the phrase “too cold” used in a sentence by said gentleman. I do not believe it.

Thank you Jim. (had as much fun emptying the bottle as I do using it as a SR receptacle)

 

SOTD - 16 March, MMXVIII A.D.



Have a great evening!

 

Ach so - bist Du sicher?

Also denke ich, dass mein Deutsch nicht so gut ist wie die Norm. Jeder macht Fehler - mich eingeschlossen. Und zu denken, dass ich so hart daran gearbeitet habe. Donnerwetter...........wenn mein Vater jemals hören würde, dass ich "Munthil" sagte, würde er meiner Mutter so etwas sagen, "Skandal, schlag in, verdammt nochmal!" lollllllll

 

I'm better at francais than German

 

Ah bon?

La langue française confond même les Parisiens les plus sages. Il peut être ahurissant pour eux mais c'est la vie, mon vieux.

 

Sehr komisch.

 

Tonight's shave was with a Smiling Wade & Butcher. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. No issues, just smoothness, all around. The Silvertip Badger knot, by Whipped Dog has been breaking in nicely. Its no longer smelly, and is getting softer. It's a very nice brush, to face lather. Enough backbone, and soft. It also holds a lot of lather, yet easily releases it.

Razor- Wade & Butcher
Brush- JR#262. Ebony/Birdseye Maple, w/Silvertip Badger by Whipped Dog.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech
Blade: Lord Platinum (2nd shave)
Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetic
Soap: Turtleship Te Java
Post: Dr. Jon's Propoganda A/S



Super smooth BBS shave this afternoon. Turtleship makes a excellent soap base, scent of Te Java is sweet and reminds me of milk & honey. Finished off with Dr. Jon's Propoganda which paired well with the soap. No burning from the A/S which was surprising. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

I hope to get a 33% bonus on the Clubman at ,my next pickup, but CVS has only had the regular 6 oz. for a long time.

 

I should correct myself-"history" was the wrong word to use for the Rte 66.....I'm sure I'll get another one sometime.
