    I already responded to this, but it;'s a reminder that this Saturday is "National Clear The Shelters Day." Lets hope a lot of pets get adopted into loving homes :).

    Just to follow up.......I know Massachusetts is honoring this, but now that I think of it, I don't know if the whole nation is. Sure hope so.

    Tuesday morning August 14

    Supply Co V.2 interchangeable injector on plate #2 / Personna ( 3 )
    Jason's non - 30DC cypress badger brush (Maggards 24mm two - band badger knot )
    Kent / MWF in beechwood tub
    Alum and Thayers Witch Hazel Original and Soapy Bathman Cup of Joe menthol balm

    The brush and soap were a pleasure to use. After the first quick pass with the injector, I was already DFS and close to BBS and could have ended the shave. Instead I did another pass for the sheer pleasure. That was a mistake. I may not have skin stretched tautly enough while going XTG; I felt the irritation immediately afterwards. The alum stung in half a dozen places. However an application of non-alcoholic witch hazel soothed the burn, then the balm doused it -- especially after the menthol kicked in and left my face frozen.

    Oh well, tomorrow I try again for that high-grade DFS without the irritation....

    This has the look of razor burn. Too much pressure...shallower angle.

    Razor: Timeless .95 SC
    Blade: Shark Super Stainless (2)
    Brush: Rick Montalvo mixed
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: PAA Sangre de Drago
    Lucky Tiger face tonic
    AS: PAA Sangre de Drago

    Tobacco Tuesday!

    Good evening my friends!

    Great shave this evening! Two pass with touch up left me near BBS.

    First use of the soap and aftershave. The scent coming off the puck is nice but very subtle, or in other words, weak, at least to my nose. The aftershave on the other hand has a bold masculine scent. I would describe the scent if I could but I'll just say I like it, I like it a lot.

    Have a good night! [​IMG]

    Sorry today’s shave didn’t go a nicely as you hoped. Tomorrow is another day to nail the shave. It happens to us all from time to time - just to keep us humble, I think.

    Nice picture and gear Jim. The PAA line has a very large selection; amazing artwork. Sandalwood and Oud sounds good.

    Thank you, Joseph. I'm calling it a tobacco Tuesday shave because tobacco absolute is one of the scent ingredients.

    Ready for the ultimate insult a photographer can hear when someone looks at their photo(s)?
    Wow. You must have a really good camera.

    Top job, Jim!

    Another great photo Jim. You have quite the soap and aftershave collection.

    Thank you, Clint.
    Every time I get a new soap and/or aftershave I tell myself that it's going to be the last one until I use one up. Hasn't worked for me.
