Great ultra-menthol Monday shave, Evan!

 

Congratulations to your daughter, Clint.

 

Thanks Andrew!

No more floundering here Tim. When you fall down we pick you up, when youre sad we make you happy, when you say something embarrassing we give you a CT. Glad we could help!

Great looking shave and photo Patrick.

Looks like a very nice shave Myles.

 

Thank you Jeff. Injectors are another rabbit hole for sure.

 

Thank you Tim. Asha will still be 7 hours away but that is much better than Atlanta to Tempe

 

Thank you Paul.

 

Thank you Joseph. I am happy to see her reaping the rewards for her hard work.

 

Fantastic sounding shave, Myles.

 

thank you!

 

Awesome shave Myles!

Thanks Clint!

 

Thanks, Tim.

 

Classic shave kit, Myles! You never go wrong with Aqua Velva! I started using it in the 60's and continue to this day! Looks like a great shave!

 

thank you! yes, it is a great one. Might have to pick up a vintage bottle one day, would be surprised if it's a lot better than the current formulation, Because the current one is amazing

 

There’s a Spanish version that comes in a glass bottle that smells more like the original. Smallflower sells it. That’s the one I prefer!

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PS - Tube 2.0, ASB - Star Jelly
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - SS & AS/C - Atomic
Heritage Collection - Ever Ready 3 step 2 band badger
J.A. Henckels Friodur INOX 472 6/8

No warm lather today with the Heritage Collections 3 step ER clone....used the scuttle bowl though to make an overflowing, 2 band badger overloaded fun mess. Haven't ever done a lather image either....it's below. Easily enough goodness for an 8 pass shave . No added extras (menthol, glycerin, other soaps/creams, etc.), just PAA's CK-6, water and whipping action. Thick and wondrous, the lather and this smooth shaving Friodur (rescaled by our gssixgun) went for 3 easy passes, one small neck weeper, didn't detract at all from a DFS+ result. Followed with a warm rinse, then PAA's slightly mentholated Star Jelly, and a dose of a favorite AS/C, PAA's Atmotic. This is one AS/C that lasts and lasts....still catching small whiffs, 12 hours after shaving. But....the family says it doesn't 'carry'...meaning this morning (and now) they don't smell it more than a 6-10 inches away. Winner winner!

Today's lather shot....did clean a little of the overflow, just had to....



Hope everyone had a great Monday!

Looks like 300 posts behind ....try to catch up at least with reading later this evening.

 

Simply gorgeous Blair. The razor and brush are the perfect pairing.

 

Amazing Blair!
