    Day 93.

    Out comes the Movkba for a few shaves. 3 nice smooth passes, and finished the neck with the Karve.
    Outstanding scent and lather from Stirling R4L. I have lots of soaps that I keep around because they excel at one or the other. Soaps that excel at both make up a pretty short list. R4L is pretty high on that list for me.

    I probably confuse many folks with my screen name and avatar.

    I was a huge fan of the Max Headroom series. They were way ahead of their time an fell prey to the TV show shuffle.

    Actually Paul, you can call me anything you like..... ..............
    Just don't page me to aisle 12.... :rofl:
    Sorry, sorry........... Couldn't help it.....
    OK, yes I could :rofl:

    Be well, my friend!

    April 7 SOTD:

    Razor: Gem Damaskeene
    Blade: Gem Stainless
    Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Aurora
    Lather: Hemingway Supreme Shaving Creme
    Aftershave: Old Spice Vintage

    A nice, relaxled Sunday morning shave this morning with a cup of coffee and my 3 year old watching. Since I had a little time, and the sun was up, I took the setup outside for the photo. The clover weed is taking over, and there doesn't seem to be much I can do.

    I used the Hemingway SC @Primotenore offered up on the BST. This is the tub that had granules, which were immediately evident. I used a Tuxedo knot, as this has a fair amount of stiffness, to see if I could work some of them out. The lather worked up fairly well, but a few of the granules remained, and it is certainly possible that none of them went away. But the creme is slick and protective. Really, I could see this taking a top spot in my den, even with the granules. The scent is quite nice, with a lot of grapefruit to my nose. I got just a hint of some tobacco and cedar. It was very lightly scented, but I would definitely consider the matching AS. The post shave is terrific, and no PSB is needed. When paired with the Damaskeene, an easy DFS was had on two passes. A Sunday morning pre church shave doesn't get much better. I hope everyone is having a great day!

    One of my brothers retired from organizing and conducting symphony orchestras in Australia. He is now teaching private lessons 5 days a week. Like you he likes to keep busy.

    Gosh Clint, this reads like an advertisment for a trip to an island vacation, makes me want to go there.
    Very very nice!
