Saweeet!!!!

Great looking kits Gents..... down right awesome!

Dominica and Meehan are my top two actually 3 as I like regular and Lime Dominica's followed by Royall from Bermuda, St. John, Ogallala Lime and Peppercorn, X2 strength rest follow in no particular order. The double strength is pretty strong, cologne strength as noted on the body but not overpowering and the old apothecary look is an added bonus. But as we all know YMMV.

In a different thread I said it would be 3 straight-momentarily forgot I'd be using another type with my 3 Rise days, so that adds up to the 6.

Thank you!

Thank you Gus.

Today's shave was with a newly acquired, restored, and honed razor. I had one of the best 2 pass shaves, in a while, that left me BBS. It went against the grain about as smoothly as with the grain.

Razor- Otto Deutsch's Hans
Brush- B400 By Tom. Whipped Dog Boar Knot. 10 hairs shed this shave.
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

Looks very cool. I'll have to check it out. Thanks Tim. I have been thinking of making a cabinet since the wife is not happy with my piles on the sink. It depends what we replace the vanity with. I would like to go with a stone top, built in wall type unit with darker wood and upper side cabinets, but since it is in the master bath, it is lower on the priority list and I might just build a tall custom skinny cabinet for now. Alway a million projects, so little time, and the money vacuum of college for the kids! The car thing is got me occupied because I have to clean out the garage. This is a big project since it is full of everything from camping gear, tools, lawn care stuff, snow blower, etc. I'm getting an EV so I want to park it in the garage (Imagine that), and install a 220 circuit for quicker charging. I was hoping to do this once the weather was better, today was ice storms in MI, but my number came up for my order sooner then expected. I thought I'd have a few more months. I'm not complaining, but it has me busy!

What make EV? Tesla is the one manufacturer that pops to mind that's running a backlog on orders.

I'm a gearhead car guy outside of this shaving thing...

Single Pass Evening Head Shave: the Cliz-matic*. This is just great. More aggressive then the Clix but also way more efficient and still very smooth. Loud loud loud. Fresh BIC.
