    All is well. I've been enjoying my gear, but not spending much time on forums or making Shave photos. Other endeavors have taken precedence.
    Thanks for the notices. Be well everyone.

    Well I really wanted something tropical or at least more Summerish. So it was a toss up between CBL Ghost Pineapple or Stirling Weekend in Malibu. WiM by a slight margin. It really is a great scent with some coconut, pineapple and all sorts of other tropical notes. If Malibu smells this good I can see why you would want to hang out there!

    Razor of the day is the Colonial General SS SE. decided to try a new blade today from a sampler I got awhile back. Up until now it has been Schick Proline AC or Feather AC. So today I tried out the Kai Captain Original. Very enjoyable and put them on par with the Feather for sharpness but a tad smoother. The Proline is still the smoothest I have used and it is a joy to use. Got a bunch more to try!

    The brush today is special and it comes from Wild West Brushworks. It’s called the “Kingston” for obvious reasons. I was quite proud to use it on our last trip to Jamaica. Derek Wheeler and his family tragically lost their home and workshop to a fire right before Christmas 2019. Such a great guy. Hope you’re safe and back on your feet soon!

    Three pass BBS shave. Topped it off with the matching WiM AS and some English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP. Well my face smells like it’s on vacation. Until we meet again Mai Tai!

    Another satisfying shave with Grandpa Val’s Never Fail. The soap, however, was another story. I got this as a gift some years ago. It’s a well known brand and I always expect more than it delivers. Hope springs eternal and I gave it another try today. Nope, not happening. :prrr:

    Argan Oil PSO
    Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Badger

    The Oneblade took down my beard valiantly tonight thanks to the FAT. Slick as usual. Finished off with post shave tonic and spice. Enjoy your night. Happy shaves all.
