So awesome Jim! Love the Christmas in May theme! Enjoy your day!

Beautiful shave, pic and lineup Danny! Have a great day!

Congrats Paul! That's a world record for you. Whipping up lather for a longer time does give great results.

Thanks Joe....the Stoylin brush nearly resembled an ice-cream cone . (Course that's what a properly loaded brush SHOULD look like).

Thanks, Joe!

Good morning guys!

I am off today so I decided to do an above- the-shoulder shave.

Straight Shave #275
10/8 Max Sprecher (48)
Omega Pro 49 Boar Brush
Stirling Coconut Lime SS and AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's WH
Whiskers: 41.5 hrs

Dome shave

I really went to town on loading the soap for both face and dome shaves. I believe this soap only has one, possibly 2 more shaves left. I really drenched this soap to get an ultra wet and slick lather. Suffice it to say is that the soap did a great job. 2 passes with Mad Max gave me a BBS- shave without touchups and 3 passes and some touchups by the Shakesharp gave me a BBS shave. I am glad to report that I did not spill any blood. Also, irritation was not visible. Applied the alum and no stinging on the dome, neck and face. Finished with the witch hazel and matching aftershave to complete this nice above-the-shoulder shave. Have an awesome day guys!

Ya "drenched" it, huh?(the soap).

Yes.

Let's see.....the beginning of Tabac, and my sister being born...anything else happen in 1959? Oh yeah, Alaska and Hawaii rounded out our nation. chuk yuk yuk.

Fantastic shave lineup Joe. Mad Max is just gorgeous

Thank you Clint. The Shakesharp is in my top 3 for my dome shaves and of course, Mad Max is Mad Max.

Super welcome back home shave. I love the Lakewood Soap base. This is the older formula which is very slick which has lead to a very relaxing and comforting shave and process. Three passes and I am as happy as a clam. I am glad to be back at home after my third trip to Florida in the past 6 weeks.

Below is picture of the luxurious lather easily whipped up by the Jayaruh Boar.

Good morning gentlemen. A wonderful three pass iced water shave on this beautiful day here on LI. @Trigger - I hope have the day off so you can enjoy taking a stroll around Heritage Park and hitting the gym. The AJ Jordan easily took care of business without any irritation or mishaps. Time is marching on as I am now exactly 1 month from my last day of work. (Instruction end on the 18th of June, followed by one week of finals). Also, I have two retirement parties to look forward to as well.

Have a great day gentlemen.

Two great looking shaves Joe. I am glad you had a safe trip.

Thank you Clint.

Fabulous shave Joe.

Great shaves Joe! Yes, I just came back from Heritage Park. I just took a leisurely stroll and then sat on one of the benches for about 15 min. soaking up the sun.

Thanks Joe.

Perfecto!

Congrats Paul! You're on a roll!

Thank you Charlie ....yesterday's was another OUTTA, which I didn't describe,(4)today makes 5. The upcoming challenge will be using this Central Texas soap when the humidity becomes part of the persuasion. There's always Stoylin Frost Drops, but I like the relaxing, calm scent of this CTS-I would just hope the drops keep the scent alive while making it colder just the same.
