Thank you. I’ve actually been to the office in Sacramento this week and have family here. I’ve had two nights of nice visits. It’s been nice.

 

Decadent December!!

December 5, 2018

Razor - '46-'47 Gillette Aristrocrat
Blade - (2)
Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Shave number two on this decadent setup. The Aristocrat and Voskhod - always a great combination since I first put them together in January 2015. You certainly can't go wrong with a Jayaruh brush and #54 looks as good as it performs. Stirling Iced Coffee? Unbelievably decadent both in performance and in scent. Can't wait until he puts this one back in production. Yes, Rod, I know you need to reformulate it a bit so I'll be patient, but man is it a good one.

Two passes and touch ups and no blood. Just baby butt smooth. The scar from the pain stick is slowly healing. Caught it just a tad tonight but no blood at all. Just have to keep working around it until it's finally healed up. One of my better efforts that one.

Day off tomorrow starts with doctor visit, then a bank visit, then a day of waiting on Amazon packages to show up. My wife has been on a shopping spree for things for the new car, new things for the apartment, and I have been on a spree for new phones and a few other goodies. Friday should be Stirling day as our package shipped from there today. It's almost like it's the holidays or something! Have a great Thursday everyone!

 

Great looking razor!

 

great looking setup! Iced Coffee is a Stirling offering I definitely want to get if and when it's re-released.

 

Psycadelic man.

That sure is going to be a beauty of a home Charlie

Oh just wait till May and you'll see crazy

Hahaha, still got it and used it a few times since Mayhem.

Nice shave Rick

Iced coffee ....interesting. I am a coffee lover. Great setup btw.
