SOS: August 2020.

Sandalwood Sunday:

Bundubeard Sandalwood followed by Bull Dog moisturizer with a couple of generous splashes of Proraso Sandalwood aftershave.

After showering with Jaco’s Sandalwood bath soap which I’ve been doing since I received it a little over a month and a half ago along with many other of his treasures I decided to pull out the matching shaving soap because I LOVE the scent so much, I had a mountain of wonderful lather that was so slick, and so protective as well as soothing. The Bull Dog moisturizer gave me great postshave care and the Proraso Sandalwood aftershave earned me lots of big kisses from Madame. Three passes with the Minora in the Super Speed left me 100% BBS!

Have a nice Sunday - stay safe and healthy!

Took a quick break from the Blackland Tradere and went with the H&S Ti for today’s shave as I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks waiting for a chance. I’ve tried the H&S 17-4 and the shave was very similar to the Ti but, the Ti just felt softer or easier on the face. Same level of shave efficiency as the 17-4 just a nicer feeling shave that felt warmer if that makes sense. It’s an awesome performer with an excellent balance of blade feel & smoothness. A winner in my book. A great day and shaves to all...​

 

It was Jason. Thanks for responding. APShave Co. is only a few mile from my CP.

A fine shave this morning before I take 2 of my granddaughters clothes shopping. They are both going to University next week. All their classes will be online. Sophie is going into her 3rd year while Lilah is beginning her first year. Both worked all summer and were about to save a good chunk of money. I will have less money when I return from shopping with them. It will be worth every cent.
Todays shave was a excellent shave with these tools. Everything worked well together. I ready for my shopping experience.

Next month I'm going to see if the 30 Day Crew will let me back into the ranks. If so I'm planning on doing rule as I'm not shaving everyday. We'll see.

Great photo, classy gear and tender story!

(I assume you're not a teenager...)

 

Thanks very much Alfredo. Left my teens a long time ago. I used take them shopping when they were younger. I get away with a t-shirt or a sweater. One is in her 20's, and the other not far behind. I still love the time with them no matter the cost.

 

A priceless experience.
Anyway there's always MasterCard to get you out of trouble!
