Thank you, Jason!

I’ll use sparingly whenever. Today I worked in the garage office, and her room is opposite side of the house. By the time we had lunch together at the table, all aroma was gone.

I’m very rarely a gin drinker, probably a handful of times ever.... That being said, I do get equal parts of lime and gin to my nose. Dry down is a more tonic’d lime (I think). It’s the only lime/citrus that lasts more than an hour with my skin chemistry.

Probably so! I was surprised Wifey wasn’t a fan.

Excellent Enabling 401 technique from the Class Professor....

Seeing that Kubota’s HQ is within a 10 minutes drive....and that whole ‘things are bigger in Texas’ rule.....

But....a Toyota Truck?!? Hmm...maybe if they came with the Ford 7.3 or at least the 6.7 diesel as an option...

 

Grazie.

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower /Cussons Imperial Leather ~ Arctic Ocean & Icelandic Moss Shower Gel.
Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
Brush : Omega 11047 Mixed Midget.
Face Lather.
Soap : Hampshire Wool Fat Lanolin Shaving Soap.
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel. (1)
Razor: Kanzy K100.

Post:
Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint Lavender, +eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Benjamin's ~ Mentholated Bay Rum./L'0REAL ~ Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

Greetings,

Early morning cold water shave,

The kanzy k100 has a nice weight to it, with a closed 'tech type head' it holds the blade rigidly with no blade over-hang which is very comfortable to shave with having no issues of catching my ear lobes or under my nose when shaving.
I Personally find 3 piece razors more assertive than TTO models, maybe it's just my imagination that said, it also depends on the blade choice and my shaving technique.
The Hampshire wool fat lanolin soap provided a excellent lather leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Another great example to myself that a simple inexpensive shave set up can provide a pleasurable error free shave.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'0REAL ~ Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Wonderful Fall scented three pass shave this morning. The Puma 65 easily took care of a day’s growth. I love the rustic nature of this soap and splash. I am ready for a fun filled day with the Yoots.
Have a great day gentlemen.

Excellent comparison post and photos Danny.

 

Fantastic brush collection Andrew.

 

Thank you Keith. I wasn't quite that bad last night. I stopped at 4 drinks.

 

The fridge is already in place with a wet bar just around the corner.

 

Another fabulous photo and shave Jim.

 

Thanks, Clint!

Barrister and Mann~~Rubberset~~RazoRock Game Changer/Wilkinson~~C.O. Bigelow
Abandoning the SR rule for today due to lack of time, I did continue with the Bay Rum theme.
The B&M soap is still clinging on and I have pressed the product back into the center of the tub.
The Rubberset, always up for a good soap-thrashing, performed flawlessly.
Face-lathered the ethereal goo and using the recently oft discussed Game Changer,
performed a perfect trifecta of passes, resulting in an infant-child safely residing in its crib.
Back to the Bigelow and the pair of post-shave products also performed and perfumed
my soft, smooth and oh so handsome face.​

 

Great VDH shave, Joe! Have a good day at work!

 

Moi??? Never!!

 

All true, Danny, but both seem to have neutral blade exposure. The most notable difference I see is the arced blade clamp on the ATT.

Razor: Surrey Trac II
Blade: modern Trac II
Brush: Surrey badger
Soap: Soap Commander Influence
Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Black Tea aftershave

Tobacco Tuesday shave with Soap Commander Influence. This is nice scent and something reminds me a little of the holidays. The Black Tea splash from Jeeves pairs pretty well. I've started using this Surrey brush and razor set on Tuesdays and can't remember the origin story, but it works really well and the shaves turn out great.

Enjoy your day!

 

Great shave, Keith! Love those scales! Are they olive wood?

 

Great shave, Barry! I’m intrigued by the soap. Is it sold outside the UK?

 

Love the scales on your Puma! Enjoy your day!
