    I had a pretty rough night last night. The PT yesterday left me in a lot of residual pain that seemed to get worse as the day went one. Oh well, today is a new day and this shave lineup brought a smile to my face. Face lathering with the Thäter is a luxury and the scent of the Colonia kicked the luxury up another level. Three passes and touch ups ended with the baby in hand. Given how I felt, I am somewhat surprised by the results. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to fight the morning commute. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    I feel for you guys. As I get older, I am less tolerant of the cold weather.

    Awesome B&W, Clint! I agree with you about Thater brushes...pure luxury.
    Sorry to hear that your pain kept you up. I hope that PT pays off and can get you some relief. Good luck on the commute today.

    Thanks! When I started shaving as a teenager, I always used Old Spice. Unfortunately, today's version is not the same.

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Halleluiah Pottery Shaving Bowl 1995
    Williams Mug Soap
    CVS SE Blade
    Ever-Ready Shovelhead on a Weber Bulldog Handle
    Pinuad Clubman Classic

    Third test run of the shovelhead this morning.

    Dampened the RazoRock brush and swirled a little Williams on the bristles and then created some awesome lather in the Halleluiah Pottery shaving bowl. To work up the Williams I use a larger bowl than the Salsa bowl. It does take longer to whip up the Williams but is does great in the larger bowl.

    No weepers or nicks. Just a nice comfortable shave with very little alum burn. I completed two passes and cleaned up a few areas on the neck.

    Finished up with some Clubman classic.

    I am really getting into the shovelhead and the SE shaves. I may break out one of the Feather Weights next.

    Y'all take care and have a great day hump day!

    I see you used the Stirling GLO this morning. I'm getting the chills just thinking about it.

    Thanks Perry! A lot of people have issues with it but I think I have soft water and the RazoRock brush just seems to whip it in to shape.

    Got back home late last night and was happy to have a shave in ‘the den’ this morning. Back to the NEW for Favourties February. Coupled it with the first use of a Sputnik. @NCoxSTL send me some different blades to settle up my failed NB bet with him. Most are different Rapiras that I haven’t tried, but there was a tuck of these Sputniks in there as well, and I thought I might as well start with these. Whipped up an very good lather with the Seville and Flattop and had 3 very nice passes. Like most every St. Petes blade I’ve tried, the Sputnik performed admirably. I’ll keep this combo going for a few days.
    It wouldn’t be Favourites February for me without a healthy dose of CL splashes and the Unconditional Surrender was a super way to finish a good shave.
    I followed along a bit yesterday, but quite superficially. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to get caught up on the thread a bit.
    Have a great day, all!
