  18. 06/01/2019 - Shave #1 for June

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Salsa Bowl / Timeless Lather Bowl Scuttle
    Fine Accoutrements – Snake Bite
    Astra SP
    Gillette Old Type
    Univinlions (Kai Clone) with Feather Pro Blade
    Nivea Post Balm

    I used the Univinlions for two passes on the cheeks, north and south. I can find the angle on this one better than the Feather SS clone. The Gillette Old Type gave me a couple of slight weepers on the neck and the alum was a little warm on the neck. I did not need to touch up the cheeks with the Gillette. Overall a fun and nice shave.

    Finished up with some Nivea post balm. All is quiet in Alabama @Bama Samurai and y'all have a great weekend.

  19. Good job, Clint.
    I made a pretty good dent in my project. New poly line done and leak tested, seven flower pots tied in. Three flower pots and two flower beds left to do. Tomorrows another day.
