    The Basics.....

    Semogue OC Cherrywood Boar
    MWF SS
    Puma Special
    Pinaud Clubman AS - Vanilla

    No PS today, so not as slick for the first pass like I'm used to. The MWF and Semogue Boar whipped up a nice velvety lather, but it lacks the slick (imo) of products like Stirling or Castle & Forbes, or Proraso. Really nice fragrance from the MWF though, and good after shave skin feel.

    Puma Special....went after 2 days growth. Did very well, no crimson or feedback from the Pinaud. A decent 2 pass DFS. It did it's laps on cloth and leather this morning, but a little skippy, tuggy on blade set down. Probably needs a touch up on the Shapton 12k again.

    Hope everyone has a blessed and Super Sunday!

    Thanks Clint.
    He took my mother in law out for a mothers day dinner, now he can't get to a wheelchair by himself. Going fast but, that stuff is everywhere im him.
    Hard to watch, his wife was horrified, but she keeps care of him best she can, but he is to heavy for her to lift, she's just a little thing.
    We all do what he needs and wants.
    Hoping fo a mirical.

    Supply Co SE V2
    Schick Proline
    Wild West Brushworks with Tuxedo
    Savonniere du Moulin
    Fine L’Orange Noir Aftershave

    [​IMG]

    Inspired by Mark @Boojum1 I used the Savonniere du Moulin soap today. I must say that the soap does work better for me in shave stick form. Ready for a change I reached for the Supply Co SE loaded with a fresh Schick Proline blade. Three passes and touch ups ended in a wonderful smooth BBS shave. A splash of Fine L'Orange Noir and I am ready for the day. Maya is going to ride to the office with me. After taking care of a few small things, she and I will hang out the rest of the afternoon. I hope everyone has a great Sunday .

    Here in the Oil Patch, many of the Welder Profession make mail box stands and the box itself of drill pipe. Bet those ring when hit with a baseball bat.

    I made a choice never to live in a neighborhood with a HOA. They tend to give too much authority to folks who would enforce their will upon what ought to be friendly neighbors. If someone thought my mailbox post needed painting, I'd allow them to make themselves happy by fixing it right up. None of that "You've got a lien on your property" because ole Mrs Grundy got a bug up her butt.
    Hang in there Clint. The best revenge is to outlive your opponent.

    I'm finished! The flower pots and beds are ready for planting. I guess I know what I'm doing next weekend. The only thing left to do is my weekly battle with weeds.

    I live in a neighborhood with an HOA. Unfortunately I have neighbors that without the looming threats from the HOA wouldn't do upkeep on their homes. If run by reasonable people they can be a good thing.
