Thank you, Clint.

Saturday's Shave

PAL Injectomatic
Personna Blade
Semogue 820 Boar
Dominica Bay Rum Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Grand Bay, Bay Rum Aftershave

A wonderful bay rum shave to start off the day! The Grand Bay is an exceptional scent with a terrific light skin feel and I prefer it over my other bottle of bay rum - Pinaud VIBR. The lather from the Dominica Bay Rum soap is still not the most stable yet, but the slickness and scent are great. I hope once I break in the puck, the lather will improve. The MWF lather was finicky for me in the beginning too, but I was able to tame that puck after a few shaves. I'm not comparing the performance of the two soaps, I am merely pointing out the issues with developing a good lather.

After the neck irritation appeared later on yesterday, I decided to give my skin a slight rest today. Two passes with the PAL Injectomatic provided a comfortable DFS finish with no irritation or mishaps.

I can add to this....sometimes when I use my toilet "auger" at the wrong angle, it will suddenly jump out of the toilet and get me. I think this embarrassing thing began long before the term ""flies in the face of".

Better late than never to have the time to post this last weeks shave.

EL&Co 9/8 near wedge
This razor delivered what I thought was a spectacular smooth and irritation free shave. but when I applied the aftershave, those thoughts quickly changed as the burn took over. Once the pain subsided I began to realize where I went wrong, I had forgot to compensate for the different angle on the bevel, and was holding it at much to steep. Hopefully I won’t repeat that mistake, but just in case I do I’ll stick with the post shave balm after using this razor again.

Thank you Joe. I really like the coated tins instead of plastic. I do wish the tins were wider for easier loading.

Great shave and photo, Pierpaolo!

Thank you Andrew. I am feeling fantastic this weekend. It amazes me how much a negative reaction to a medication can impact our daily lives.

Very nice, Clint! Sorry you had to work today.

Beautiful, Andrew!

Lovely, Pierpaolo!

Good to hear from you, Paul! Sorry about the rough shave.

You’re right Paul. I think the Fresh Vetiver was a limited release. I got the complete set including bath soap for Father’s Day.

Thanks, Jim!

The Grand Bay does smell fabulous. I am so glad you like it. My only suggestion would be upping the scent strength.

Three great looking shaves Paul. I hope you’re doing well.

Thank you Jim. I didn’t work long. I truly hope you’re not working this weekend.

Good to hear it was a short day. I'm off this weekend but back on the six to six schedule again Monday for who knows how long.

Thank you, Clint! You're right about the scent strength. The scent only lingers about 2 hours, but I am fine with that, considering the price.

That’s rough Jim. Enjoy your weekend.

I add 2 drops of glycerin per oz to most aftershaves. It really helps with the post shave feel.

Thank You.
