Praying for you guys. That GC sounds like a real winner.

Thank you, Perry! Today ended the PAA soaps. I still have PdP and Proraso before the P's are finished.

Glad you enjoyed The Lounge, Paul! Nice shaves.

Wonderful, Chris! Blood on Steel is great software.

Glad you're feeling better, Neal! More Jeeves love. That Bay Rum scent is my favorite that I've sampled.

Four swirls on the soap before face lathering? You are the man, Patrick!

Wonderful photo and shave, Rick! I wish Old Spice or some other company made interesting scents for the current drug store market.

Nice, Keith!

Great shave, Gary!

 

This might be the best post of the month so far. Precise, succinct, direct. Bravo, Chris!

 

Some things just work so well that it seems matter of fact. And it was late and I was tired.

Thank you Bruce.

Thank you, I was having trouble putting my finger on what the scent combo was in it. The tobacco scent was really light, it is very enjoyable though.

 

Thank you Joseph it was quite nice to use. I am planing on picking up a lather bowl or maybe an empty tub to put it in first, shouldn’t be long.

 

I've been advised not to post my opinions about it on Social Media, so I can neither agree or disagree with you. Thank you for the prayers.

 

Some of my favorite products in your shave today, Clint.

 

January Focus

Krampert's Finest~~Simpson Wee Scot~~Gillette New LC~~Nacet
Grabbed the Wee Scot today, something I almost never do anymore.
I purchased it as a travel brush, but find that my CH2 Synthetic is more "travel friendly".
However, except for the fact that lather gets all over the handle and can make holding the WS tricky,
there is no denying that it can whip up a great lather as good as the big boys.

Can you say Clove? That's what you get with the Krampert's Bay Rum. My wife likes the clove; me...less so.
It burns my face.
Forgot to use my left hand on the WTG pass today, but used it on the following two passes.
The Nacet blade/Gillette New LC combo is a winner. No issues.
The Krampert's is fairly slick, with a potent scent.
Followed up with the matching AS.
Is this my favorite Bay Rum? No, but it's a good BR.
The longer I wet-shave, the less tolerance I have for "good". ​

 

Had a weeper on my chin today-that appears to be their(the weepers)favorite place to exist. Otherwise another pleasant and productive shave with Chiseled Face GTB. I had the Maggard 26mm Marble Handle brush. I have to say, Chiseled ranks right up there with the best I've wet-shaved with.

 

Andrew, I call that Yoga move by Declan a "reverse downward dog".

 

One thing that helped me a lot with the angle on straights is the sound. Turn off the fan, music, and water. Listen to the sound the razor makes on the easy parts of your face. When you have the angle wrong, that sound changes. Try and adjust your angle to get the sound you want, while just scraping the lather off your face, no pressure.

 

It is actually "happy baby" pose. No lie, it's real

 

Yes Robert, much closer.
Thanks

 

Then I suppose we'll see it again. Hey, who's that..Ms. Lino?

 

As I'm no clove man, perhaps I'll wait for the summer and get the Frostbite.

 

Thank you Jason.

Thanks Gary.
Oh and, love your pictures!

 

Amen! Sounds a bit like a GC that did some work on old house.

At the risk of offending any GCs in the crew, Ill say that the experience left me of the opinion that, for the most part, there are two types of GCs- well-meaning but inept ones and criminally incompetent ones.
