Sounds like a great day, Jim!

 

Sounds like you are best served either by a boar brush or by the Semogue badger-boar mix. If I remember rightly, you have one of those Mistura brushes, don't you?

 

Thank you Clint!

Thank you, Clint!

 

Happy Friday (evening)! Great photo of the boys, Andrew!
And, since I’m here...another good comparison shave and report...and gear shot!

 

I hope she’s bouncing back to normal, Rick! She’s a trooper!

 

Friday evening November 16 - back on track with a roadmap again...



Gillette Ball End Old Type undated (1921-29) / GSB (3)

Renaissance Faire style horn quaich lather bowl
Fendrihan Lavender Sandalwood soap sample
Alum and Jeeves Mountain Rain splash

I spent awhile yesterday going back through my posts and writing down what I used, so now I can continue with No Repeat without confusion. I am starting on my second round with my brushes (I have eleven in regular rotation) and have repeated postshave products a couple times, but can now do razors, soaps and splashes/balms to month end without any further duplications.

Today was one of several Old Types. My usual two passes brought me my usual DFS+ with less squawk from the alum than I got from yesterday's Blue Tip. I can only conclude that I treated the Old Type with more respect - or the Blue Tip with too little.

Jeeves makes great splashes and today's finished the shave in fine form. I have three sets of Jeeves soaps and splashes with Mountain Rain as the "splash only" odd man out. I think I will make the next three days Jeeves shaves now that I have started today with the splash.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

Another cool photo, Jim!

 

You rock, Doug! Love the photo!

 

Great shave and picture, John.

Very nice photo, Jason!

 

I do have and like that brush, and I actually like a pretty wide variety of knots, John. My favorite brushes are two band badgers, which make up the majority of my collection. Its not that I don’t like synthetics; they’re just a bit too soft and fluffy to serve as my everyday drivers. I still have a few for variety though.

 

Nice picture, John!

 

Thank you, Bruce!

 

Great photo and shave John.

Agree 100% on the Jeeves splashes, John. Pretty much love his soap base as well. Besides Tobacco/Bay, I'd be hard pressed to say that any JOHS scents are in my top choices, but the quality of his software vaults them into the top tier for me.
