Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #340 Badger
AutoStrop VB1
GEM Blue Star SE
CWR
Cella ASB

The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #340 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop VB1 with a GEM Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Someone complained that it was raining here today and that, being without an umbrella, he got wet.

But the most gruesome thing is that they talked about umbrellas as if they were tools to shelter from the rain!
And, as a result, they are often compared to raincoats, trench coats, Mac's...
- An umbrella repairs better than a raincoat-
That's true, but what's that got to do with it?
The gentleman doesn't wear an umbrella to shelter from the rain. He wears it to waggle it while walking
It also helps to stop, nonchalantly, a taxi: does anyone really think that the taxi would stop if he waved a raincoat?
Shipwrecker's stuff...

What if it rains?
It doesn't matter. When it rains, the gentleman doesn't go out!

But he shaves!
With an elegantly fragrant soap, which makes the blade slide with ease and leaves the skin smooth, ready to welcome an equally elegant eau de toilette.

My shaving today? Excellent! It allowed me to bring out fragrances that I thought I should leave unused until today's weather has become the norm and not an exception!

It was raining.
I got wet.
I was without an umbrella...

Perfect day for the sound of Chet Baker...

Prep Ogallala Orange Cream Bay Rum Bar
Soap + Splash + EDT B&M Seville

I decided to follow yesterday’s shave with one of my lightest razors with today’s shave, with my heaviest razor. This razor shaves waaaay better! I’m calling this blade The Squeegee henceforward.

Much better second outing with the Silversmith, I found the angle closer to riding the cap to be most effective, maintaining that angle did pretty well in dealing with the crown head stubble. Clean up with the Enders was fairly quiet.

SE SOTD, Thur June 4th 2020

Razor: Everready streamline 2nd Generation model-Mfg 1949-53- Nice eye candy, but it needs good technique to enjoy even more IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(3) Great blade in all respects that checks most of the boxes,sharp,longevity & smoothness as the blade wears in.
Soap: Barrister & Mann Seville- nice scent with good lather qualities IMO.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm- great brush that I enjoy still after 3 1/2 years.
Pre-shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pick ups.
Post shave: Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + minor irritation + 2 tiny weepers= very close shave with my ER Streamline razor.

So I was diagnosed with UC in dec 2000. I was 18. In 2008 I became immune to the medicine for it and went into a flair up that lasted just over a year. I'm 5'8" and with that flair up I went from 160 down to 113 lbs. I still cant look at pics of me from that time. I looked like I had one foot in the grave. In 2009 the ulcers spread to 98 percent of my large intestine and I had to have the whole large intestine removed. I had a colostomy bag. My now ex wife at the time completely tore me down about having the bag. I was told I am disgusting and repulsive and no one would ever want to even touch me because of it. I was told this and so much more along the same lines every day for the next 5 years while I still tried to fix the relationship. But the damage was done. Even to this day I still deal with the disgust humiliation and degradation of this disease. I do have a woman I am with now who has been trying to undo the brainwashing my ex instilled in me. In 2017 I had a bowel obstruction that caused some necrosis of the small intestine. To fix that presented me with the opportunity to get the j-pouch surgery. So i did. And in dec 2018 the pouch was removed. Now i find out i also have IBSD so now I'm back to where i was before getting the pouch in the first place. And all of the brainwashing has flooded back. I am doing everything I can to fix this and get some sort of normalcy but it is just taking time. Thank you all for the kind words. The last couple of years have been a rollercoaster of just shit. Had 6 surgeries 3 life threatening, my brother was killed by a kid texting and driving a mustang at about 120mph. Then 5 months later my nephew has an asthma attack and passes away. Those two were in 2018. Last november my adopted father passed away from liver failure. He never could handle loosing his son. He drank himself to death. While all of this is going on I am fighting to help my girl get free of her alcohol addiction which in less than a week she makes 11 months sober.
