Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Silver Blue still in the Gillette “Black Beauty”. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave.

I kindly thank you @SHAVEWIZARD420 !

Focusing on creating and relaxing in that small zen space may surely help to balance those daily items beyond my control.

 

A belated Happy Birthday amigo...

A formidable combination the El Jefe and Feather Pro. Great blade feel but, still buttery smooth and good on the skin. Definitely the WSP soap helped in calming the ferociousness of the El Jefe. A 2.5 pass shave that was pure bliss. Finished it off with an Aventus clone that is remarkably good and resembles the earlier, smokier versions of the famed elixir. Great day and great shaves to all..... ​

Thank you. Pink Floyd one of my favorites of all time. So innovative at the time couldn't help but grab my attention.

 

See the surgeon this coming Wednesday and hope they change out both braces to smaller ones and allowed to start driving again. Hate being dependent on friends and uber/lyft to get around town and home again.

 

Thank you!

I performed two easy passes (WTG and mostly ATG) with the Parker SRX for a DFS shave this morning. The Parker is fun to use, and it just reminds me a well-built tool that does the job. For $30, it's one of the best shaving values on the planet. All things considered, I'll take this for the first shave of my new focus. I look forward to the next month of shaves with the SRX.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

 

Thank you!

 

Praying all goes well Wednesday!

Been a while since I took the Wolfie for a spin, paired with a US Personna. Excellent two pass BBS.​

Another Christmas soap, performance wise, very good. Scent wise it reminds me of Deep Heat or some other liniment lost deep in the recesses of my memory.
Happy Shaving one and all.
