Awww he was just trying to toughen you up. Older brothers would never do such things on purpose

 

Patrick is lying.....................I was #2 son and #3, #4 were younger

 

I always enjoy seeing what your going to shave with next Pierpaolo. You sure know how to mix it up.

 

You had 2 other brothers to pass it on to. I was the youngest of 6 kids . I had no one to pick on.

 

As always, great shave, pic and gear Clint. Have a great day.

 

Thanks Patrick.

I enjoy all my shaving systems.
In my SOTDs they're as colors in the painting.

 

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 2021

Today is my birthday and this morning’s shave is dedicated to my lovely second wife, Lauren, whose birthday was yesterday. Lauren and I lost our respective first spouses to cancer during November and December of 2012. Lauren had been married for 28 yrs and I’d been married for 42 years. We will be married for five years this June. In her honor I selected two incredible shaving tools. My very early Cast Steel H. Boker French Point and my refurbished Schick F Type injector were the perfect razors for my mug and dome shaves respectively. I do love the way this old Boker feels in hand, and after two pasted and one leather stropping easily swept away my mug whiskers in three, easy passes with the Traveling Wilburys “Handle with Care” playing in the background.

The huge MrEE Monster Aluminum Handled Tuxedo Synth is a lathering beast that easily generated the thin, slick facial lather that the old Boker glided through on its three pass whisker obliteration mission. The following bowl lathering exercise could have kept three barbers supplied, but resulted in the overly generous, thick, protective lather carpet I prefer for my dome shaves. The old F Type used for the dome shave accompanied my neighbor’s Marine Officer father through the Pacific. It saved his life on Bougainville where it along with the rest of his mess kit was severely damaged blocking shrapnel from a Japanese grenade. It was restored for me by the very able Tom White (@twhite) and now delivers an excellent shave again. I'm grateful to be a cancer survivor pushing three quarters of a century. The Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash was the perfect ending, leaving me feeling cool, clean, and velveteen smooth on this beautiful, cold, sunny Philadelphia day! I wish the Lord’s Grace and health to all my shave brothers and sisters!

Awesome shave this morning.

Look mom......no DE!

The Simpson T3 Trafalgar made easy work of the Tabac.

I loaded a fresh Astra SP with the corners muted in the SRX. Two nice passes with the Parker ...north and south. I have realized that skin stretching is very important when using a shavette. No blood loss this morning and the alum was barely noticeable. A little Witch Hazel and a few squirts of American Tobacco by Andy Hilfiger.

I am really enjoying this focus and it is great trying something different.

Take care gentlemen!

 

Urine!

 

In other words: URINE!

 

Awesome Frankenshave Barry.

 

Great progress on your focus and great pic Danny

 

Beautiful post Jeff. Happy Birthday my friend

 

Excellent shave Danny

 

Fabulous shave and picture Danny.

 

Not only doesn't it look good, I can't understand what happened.....is it just because I said "the third day of the month" on Feb 2? Or the urge to call a winner already in the Feb. poll/survey? I bounced back from the latter, claiming I won't do it because I'm a nice man.

 

Shaved the noggin today. Bald is beautiful
