SOS: December 2019

fine shave Paul..Merry Christmas..

 

very cool..

 

Merry Christmas to you too, Gary.....course I'll be listing my shave for Christmas DAY too-that was just for tomorrow. The small Stoylin brush will hopefully load without the clink-clank-clunk sound brushes make while working with mugs.

 

the clink-clank sound is traditional shaving at work sir....

Haven’t taken a razor to the face in a few days nothing more than being busy. Needed an OC as a result and I have a few but the Timeless SS OC .95 is about the finest I have. Loaded up with a Polsilver IR and got down to the morning business.

Wanted to get back to trying out the new soaps and the TFS RasoZero Barbacco was the third of the bunch left. Barbershop meets fresh cut tobacco. Lovely stuff. Pre-shave was excellent and so was the soap itself.

Awesome two pass DFS/BBS. Just finished up a Halloween candle so I cleaned it all up and decided to put it to use. It’s a glass skull and though not an original idea it’s pretty cool. Perfect for soaking the brush!
