Today ....in Canada

The kids sliding hill just got higher

Man I feel like broken record Jim but BEAUTIFUL pic. LOVE the brush too !

February 23rd
Supply '2 dot' w Proline (1)
Simpsons CH2 Synth
Barrister's Reserve Cool
Thayers
Vintage Avon Spicy

Loaded a fresh Proline (thanks again, Clint) into the Suppy and realized instantly that was the culprit yesterday. 3 smooth passes and I am really happy with the results. Switched things up and splashed on some Avon Spicy which I decanted into an extra Shulton bottle. Does it match? Not at all, but I'm becoming a little nose blind to the Cool after so many days of it lately.
I overestimated how many days left on the soap last time. After having the 'soap destroyer' chew through it a bit, I'd say 3 shaves left.
Have a great day all!

Keep it there Although it would be fun temporarily

Thanks, Gary!

Not officially retired yet. I'm burning through some accumulated vacation and I'll go back for one day in March to make it official. I'll work one day as a 55 year old and be done.

Great shave Jason. I vote for more soap destroyer usage !!

Thanks, Dave!

My shave reports feel like a broken record. Pretty consistent with no surprises lately.

Nice finish on the soap Dave, great report and images shocked003:.....).

Love the image and combination Clint....ouch on the set down mishap.

Very fun image and color combo Danny, nice details on the Alien Shave glycerine soap. Sounds like y'all have our weather too, we're hitting 75F+ today! Who'da thunk TX was frozen solid a week ago.

Great shave, pic and post Dave! I would definitely say your lather is worthy of a straight razor shave. Enjoy the day.

Thank you Blair...The Shovelhead incident was a ''blessing in disguise''at least it didn't happen in the middle of the shave. Yours-Barry.

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 2021

SWMBO and her fragrance allergy left for the morning freeing me up to use Old Spice to complete my shave. I'm ignoring the white blanket covering my property, and continuing to pray for warmer temperatures, although 36°F is not quite as warm as I’d like. My mug shave this morning was ok. I selected my only modern artisan razor, the Riga Razor 7/8. The shave was perfectly adequate, but this razor has always felt clunky and awkward in hand to me. I’m probably going to sell it. It’s just not for me. I’ve had my eye on a maker based in Colorado whose razors are elegantly designed, but rather pricey! I may reward myself after my second Covid vaccination in early March. The dome shave was superb and featured my Gillette Big Fellow which dates from the second year of production (1920). This 101 year old razor always delivers the goods. Just another great dome shave in the books. I feel clean, refreshed, and porcelain smooth.

RAZOR: Riga Razor 7/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow [1920] (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute with 24mm Hybrid Knot Ferrule
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Original (Indian Version)

I hate when a shave doesn't go smoothly. Nice pic and setup. Have a good day Clint.

Super shave Danny! Have a fantastic day!

As always nice shave, post and pic. Sorry about the poor setdown. Have a great day Maestro!

No, I am off. I don't expect to get days in until March.

stocked up on beer?....wow..

fine set up and pic Jeff,good morning..

I am glad you had a bloodless shave Paul! Enjoy the day!

Hope you’re all well. I haven’t been posting here lately but have been following along as time permits, usually very late in the evenings when I’m able to sit down for a bit.

Anyway, seeing all the talk about a certain flower species prompted me to take this picture this morning.
