SoS July 2020.

Thanks Brother....

 

Sunday night
Heat wave lifted a bit here, and went with what is becoming my go-to summer shave soap:

Wholly Kaw Monaco Royale
Korn silvertip
Muhle R89
Voshkod ⚀
Florida Water

The Kaw got this scent RIGHT . It is wonderful. Performance tip top as well. I really look forward to taking the lid off this puck.

C U all tomorrow

Excellent shot and shave Gary. I like the yellow theme against the bright blue sky my friend.

Thanks Tommy. I was saving this set since the beginning of the year to use it on vacation because of the smaller soap & aftershave. I cancelled the vacation a week ago due to the current situation and moved it to December. Walt Disney World is not the place to be at this time. I have used the brush, but have been dying to try CaD, so I broke it in. The set was a good deal since I was going to buy the brush anyway, and never tried the PAA classic CaD. Enjoy those shaves brother.

Nice shave bud. Never tried a Wholly Raw soap but understand they are great. Good to know this is an awesome scent. Enjoy it my friend.

2020-07-13, Monday

I'm hungry! Not hungry: Hungry!
I have to run periodic blood tests and the nurse isn't showing yet: that's why I'm hungry.
Mine's not an easy life...

This morning I decided to use one of the Nordic creams but she refused to co-operate.

When she found out that I also wanted to take a picture, a bailamme broke out.
I was able to catch the moment when she leaned over to see if I was gone.
Pic's terrible, but you're used to...

My Shave for the Day

Titan Straight Razor

Philémon Shaving Brush

​

 

Finally received my ‘summer’ package. Received a RazorockS SLOC with a bulldog handle.
A WCS HD 110 gram handle (for the 37 slant head), a jar of Masters vanishing menthol crime.
A Semogue 1460 boar brush, and a Georgetown Pottery scuttle.
It’s been extremely hot and humid. Like, people are dying from the heat.
So tonight, I had the ultimate hot, humid shave.
PSO - Shave Secret
Brush - Yaqi Barber Pole 2 band badger
Soap - Masters Vanishing Menthol
Scuttle - Georgetown Pottery G20 scuttle
Razor - RazorockS SLOC, Bulldog handle
Blade - Derby Extra
Witch hazel - T.N. Dickinson (as always)
A.S. - Grand Bay Bay Rum

The Shave Secret goes perfectly with the Masters, and the Bay Rum, it’s spicy.
The Yaqi is a fairly large knot, held enough lather for all three passes, and touch/pick ups.
The Masters V.M. is just what the Dr. ordered. Even hot lather felt cold. Very pleasant indeed.
I had posted previously about my QShave scuttle, ( the stopper got inside the scuttle), I received my
G-town scuttle,( it’s got a pewter cap on the stopper) and it is a little deeper, very nice.
I bought a RazorockS ‘old style’ open comb, best shave of my life. So when I found out about the SLOC
I had to try it.Let me just say, the RazorockS SLOC is the best multipass razor I’ve ever used.
Not. Even. Close. If any of you are considering it, don’t hesitate. Get it. This was my first shave with it
and it was so smooth, I actually got a few slight nicks with a Derby Extra! I was probably a little
aggressive, since it was so smooth, also the Bulldog handle was a little heavier than a standard handle.
I’ll probably switch the handle to a Merkur 33c handle. But, I could tell right away, a little slower, a little
softer, BBS all day long.
Once the Dickinson’s was applied, along with the A.S., you couldn’t see a nick or weeper at all.
When It’s hot and humid here, A.S. tends to ‘hang around’ and feel ‘heavy’. So nothing works in these
conditions like Bay Rum. Acrid, sharp, clean, fleeting. In another post, I tried the Gabels. It made my face
‘sticky’, so I went back to what I considered the ‘pure’ Bay Rum, the Dominica.
Since it’s no longer available, I went Grand Bay. Pretty similar, l’ll probably try St. John West Indies B.R.
I spent the last couple of hours sipping Bourbon, Smoking a KFC cigar, and rubbing my face, I can’t believe
how close my shave is. So smooth! Can barely feel a hair, and I’ve got a pretty thick beard.
Today’s shave was perfect for the ‘situation’.

The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER with a GEM Stainless SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
