Roll Tide Roll! Are you sure you're from Alabama, Danny? With this Internet thing, you could be a Hipster from Rhode Island, for all we know.
Well then May has came and went with all its furry, now for June. Hello all had time for one picture and some thoughts. Seems everyone is as normal, crazy as ever. Me and the wife are still helping the family out with the EOL. Not plesant, it's something how cancer ravages the body, but he is still hanging on. Who knows maybe he will get a mirical and survive. Using my dopp bag more than ever, this was a great ideal, will be filling it back up tonight when I'm home. If you don't have a dopp bag I highly recommend putting one together. My wonderful wife has decided that she needs one now. How bout that! Grab and go, for overnight or a week. Didn't mention about the little brush, it works rather nice. Just a cheap Perfecto badger brush, nice. Well have things to do. Happy shaving! enjoy! tp
June Focus Myrsol Don Carlos 1972~~Simpson CH3 Extra Super~~dubl duck Goldedge 53/64 SR #98 (Cue music) "It's the final countdown..." Two days away from the century mark, vis-à-vis straight razor shaves. After that, I am planning to graduate to this: Figured out how to load the monstrous CH3. Smeared some Myrsol (de-granulated) into my Aesop bowl. Wasn't able to create my typical lather directly in the bowl, because I will not "mash" this knot. So, after a minute of whipping motion, I went to the face. Mostly using paintbrush strokes, with the occasional, firmer circular stroke, I was successful. The brush is a lather hog. Yesterday, when I commented that I thought this knot held about a 1/4 cup of H2O...well, I was wrong. MORE. Anyhoo, got a great lather and with my 50 lapped dd deftly in hand, went for the gusto. I am pretty much settled into the 2 pass and out routine with straights. I have also discovered that my facial hair is ridiculously coarse. Kind of like a Well, not quite, but close. Nevertheless, the dd was able to "machete"-down the stubble, leaving my skin intact. Post shave routine per usual: Alum/Thayer's/AS The Myrsol Don Carlos 1972 is a combination of citrus and barbershop. It works. The juice also has some nice post-shave feel to it.
This is right up my alley. I'm gonna love this months theme. As evidence, I submit this photo in hopes the cartel will see it, and Grant me absoulution.
