Excellent outdoors shot, Jason!

 

Monday July 23 - mildly menthol Monday

Schick E2 / Personna ( 5)
30DC LE Maple Cashmere synthetic brush
Fendrihan Lavender Sandalwood soap sample
Jeeves Bay Rum splash

I am now so far behind this thread this month that I am never catching up.

One quick pass and some touchups took me from a multi-day stubble to a DFS. The Jeeves not only smells nice and has a good skin feel, it contains a mild hit of menthol as well.

 

Randy, enjoy the cool mountain air.

 

30DC Appreciation Shave

JoHS Blood on Steel aftershave


I had resigned myself to thinking about getting Blood on Steel when Jeeves on Hudson Street released it under the "regular" non L.E. name. Instead my fine brothers of the 30 Day Crew arranged for a set to fall into my hands! Much appreciation, kind Sirs. Since the Cartel and associated organizations tend to keep their business under the radar I wasn't expecting it to arrive today. Indeed I had no idea the set was coming, so when I saw the box on my front porch I got the whole anticipation rush all at once! Can you imagine days worth of checking the shopping cart, succumbing to the urge and ordering, then checking tracking every couple of hours - but all rolled up into " Whaa? A package for me?" So I did the only prudent thing. Promptly whipped up a great lather with my 30DC brush, dropped a fresh blade in my fanciest DE, and had a great 3+ pass shave. The huge tub got sniff tested by everyone in the house where we came to the conclusion it smells like apple pie. Same great lather as the generous hunk of Jeeves Bay Rum I received from Adam @Drygulch, and the matching AS although slightly different of scent, still follows the theme. It's now an hour later and I can still catch a whiff of the scent - good stuff. I looked up the mystery ingredients. These are the ones I didn't know;

Labdanum - a species of rockrose used in herbal medicine.
Osmanthus - an evergreen smelling of peach or apricot.
Iso E Super - Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (sandalwood & cedar)
Nagarmotha - spicy, woody, earthy essential oil.

Yup, Apple pie!
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Great picture and report, Rick. I'm happy you got the soap and aftershave!

Congrats on snagging a Blackland Dart, Andrew. It's a nice looking razor!

 

It's a beautiful setting, Randy. Have a restful time on vacation.

 

Thank you. I have everything down to the point that a shower, shave, police the area, and dress is less than 30 minutes taking my time. I can shave some off of that if I am really rushed.

Thank you Jim

Thank you Andrew.

 

Wonderful Photo Jim.

Now that is a freaking fish. Wow.

You really did polish off the Williams and Floid

Beautiful Razor Brain.

Great picture Andrew. Mark and I were texting the other evening about the Dart. His assessment matches yours.

Fantastic view Randy. I hope you and your family enjoy your vacation.

Wonderful Photo Jason.

Great to see you posting John. I hope your leg is still improving.

Wonderful photo and report Rick. Take Care.

 

Great shot, Jason. I hope you all had a great time at the lake.

 

Cool mountain air and a BBS shave have already done wonders for @BaylorGator

 

I splash it on like I hate it.

 

You betcha Clint!

 

Fantastic 30 DC inspired shave, Rick! That's a sharp looking Aristocrat!
