The Merry Mixed Up Month of May!

May 2

Razor - El Cheapo DE pain stick
Blade -
Soap - Fine Italian Citrus - Bowl by @jtspartan
Brush - 30DC LE w/ Tuxedo knot by @jtspartan
Post - Alum

Hope you all had a great Saturday and the same weather we had! Sunny and in the 80's. Looking over my shoulder now. That nice of weather has to mean something bad is about to happen, right? Well, hopefully not.

Stayed with the El Cheapo and Derby today but rotated soap and brush. Decided to make it an all @jtspartan day by using the Fine Italian Citrus soap that I keep in a bowl made by him. And, of course, the 30DC LE brush is his creation as well. Great lather that reminded me I should use this soap more than I do. Three passes and all's well. Very well. Near-BBS and smooth shave with no blood and quiet alum.

As a comparison, today's "fun memory" is my first shave report in January 2015. You'll notice I hadn't quite figured out pictures yet, but you can click on the thumbnails and get the full view of a bloody mess if you have the stomach for it. Yep, that's how it began for me around here. You'll find the post HERE!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

Alumi-TAR shave tonight! An interesting 3 pass shave indeed. Slight alum feedback easily cooled with cucumber Thayer's and Barbasol Brisk. I'm smooth and ready for bed. Happy shaves all.
