Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Rapira Swedish Super Steel
Brush: Ever-Ready 150
Lather: CO Bigelow
Aftershave: Proraso Green
Additional Care:
Stirling Unscented PSB

Another filter chosen by my daughter, and another good shave with some CO Bigelow. This time, I used the New LC, and it was as smooth as can be. Two easy passes, a DFS, and I am on my way to a good Monday. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

You're daughter did a great job on the filter, Jim!

Welcome! Jump in with both feet and have some fun as well as learning a lot. And thanks for mentioning @Drygulch . I'll add the brownie points to his total for bringing you along.

 

Another fine Stoylin shave this morning. 2 weepers on the second pass, no doubt caused by the fact I didn't give that pass enough time to settle on my skin.

 

Wonderful shave and photo Jim.

Thank you, Jim!

 

Your daughter picked a good filter today. And today I will use the last DE razor in my rotation rack, but you just helped me choose tomorrow's setup.

 

Thank you, Clint! She'll be excited for the kind words!

 

Excellent shave, Charlie! Normally, Mondays look like that for me, but with a three day week ahead. It is a great Monday!

 

More good reports. But you know, Charlie, it's almost uncanny how much that figurine looks like me when I peer into my Monday morning mirror...

 

Thank you, John! It's hard to go wrong with the LC.

 

Thanks Jim! I hope this short week at work cruises on by with nary an issue...

 

Thanks John. I purchased the Happy Monday man at a flea market about 45 years ago. I think it set me back 25 or 50 cents. I just thought he looked funny. At that time, I had no idea what he must have done to look so happy. I have a pretty good idea now. Sounds like you do too! I hope your week allows you to recover a little bit from the weekend.

 

NOvember 19th
Gillette NEW SC w SharpStar
Palmolive Menthol cream
TGN Synthetic/ Mahogany
Thayers
Pinaud Clubman

Next up in the No Repeat rotation- this excellent NEW with the Palmolive cream for a ‘Menthol Monday’. Took the cream to the bowl and was rewarded with the usual excellent lather. This cream punches above its weight class. The only downside to the shave was the need to change the blade out after a pass.
Clubman was up in the rotation today as well, and I’m leaving the house with that familiar ‘Middle Aged and Married’ Pinaud vibe.
Have a great day all!
