Was in a bit of a rush the other day and had to alternate off of my longevity evaluation on a new straight razor honing.
Pulled out the Schick I1 injector. Not much that is faster and more maneuverable than this right here. Smallest real estate footprint on the face. Almost impossible to cut yourself. One of the few razors that easily moves from side to side on the neck. No wonder people like these things so much.
The only thing faster than a Barbasol shot in a bowl with a water add by The Blue Ming is Proraso cream in a tube directly to the face.
The Spirit of St Louis 2019 30DC Memorial Deluxe Limited Edition Flat Top Brush got the call. Wet brush right to the cream applied to the face. I think this is the softest brush I have. It really likes a softer soap and works better with painting type strokes. Generates a smooth lather. Probably not something great with a hard soap puck, but I'll try it one day.
Finished up with Stirling Lime AS, which I like because it has alcohol and witch hazel. The Lime scent is not a hanger so a couple of sprays of Piacenza EdT were in order.
Off to work I went. Fast, close and comfy.

One thing about the soft nature of this brush is that The Blue Ming is always showing up.Naturally, after the moisturizing help, I have to listen to his closed minded rhetoric about 'bowls are for lather' and stuff like that.
Well, I decided to expand the horizons for The Blue Ming and have him help me with a batch of Maryland Crab Soup.

After helping me out with this tasty treat, The Blue Ming now declares that bowls are okay for soup too.
Not really "on theme" for August but fun and delicious. Shave on!
