  2. June Basics - Citrus Sunday into Menthol Monday

    TSS/Ginger's Garden Acqua di Florida SS
    T-400 badger by @Vlasta
    Suribachi & cool water
    Univinlions Salon razor
    Feather AC Professional blade
    M&L Florida Water & Osage Rub AS
    SOTD 06102019.gif Slipped a day on my every other schedule. Could have been Citrus so I put 5-6 drops of The Rub in the bowl and made it Menthol. Easy tallow lather in that smells just like the AS scent from The Shaving Shop. They used to be a distributor of special blended scents by several Artisans , but now seem to be exclusively Ariana & Evans products. Slick lather in the bowl whipped up using the Rubberset 400 replica by TSD member Steve. Fourth use of the Artist Club blade and it still feels sharp since it took down three days beard with no hesitation. Two passes - N to S and back again using both hands. I used the kamishavette carefully around my chin trying for new grips to get the stubble but leave the skin. No errors, CCS over 90% of my face. Mixed the Florida Water and Rub in my hand and splashed it around, but only where I shave my face. Well, some *might* have gotten on my grandson, but you can't prove it.
    Good Shaves Y'all!
  3. Thank you Patrick.

  13. Thank you, Clint! It was a small issue related to the emergency response team, but by the time I got there, it was all taken care of. So, I drove 1.5 hours round trip for 15 minutes of being there. That was the worst part.
