    This is the last shave this month for Mad Max because the 50th shave will be on June 1. June 1 is the 1st anniversary that I first shaved with Max. Anyway, everything went well and achieved a BBS- shave without any issues. Called to the high school so I wasn't concerned about a BBS or near BBS. Finished this shave in the usual manner. I am ready to face the high schoolers. Have a great day guys.

    Well, I think it is safe to make the projection that "Eating Too Many Cookies" wins this survey, with a 5 pct. point lead and just 4 days left. "Not Contracting Tetanus" takes 3rd, "Chain-saw" 4th. The only exciting part left is to see which of the 0.0 crowd breaks free.

    May 28th
    Razor: RR Lupo
    Blade: Bolzano Superinox (1)
    Brush: Montalvo/ Mixed badger and boar
    Pre-shave: PAA Cube
    Soap: B&M Foúgere Gothique
    PAA Galactic Witch Hazel
    B&M Unscented Balm
    AS: B&M Foúgere Gothique

    Good morning!

    Foúgere Friday

    Fantastic shave to end my B&M run and start the fifth of my Razorock razors.

    Foúgere Gothique is an acquired taste. The best way I can describe it is sweet and woodsy with a healthy splash of swamp water. I love it!

    The Lupo is a nice razor that does a great job but it just doesn't have that "it" factor for me which is probably why I don't reach for it very often.



    Have a great day!

    SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 2021

    Sorry for missing the last month. I had a health blip that sidelined me, but I’m back and glad to be here. This old man crap can really ruin one’s day. My Kildare (that’s doctor for you young sprouts) has banned ‘spiritus frumenti’ for at least another month, and SWMBO’s mothering the bejeezus out of me, but I’m otherwise about 80%. I don’t know if I’ll be able to manage daily posts, but I’ll do my best. Rather than use use those multibladed plastic thingamajigs in the hospital, I elected not to shave. As a result I ended up looking like a wooly mammoth upon discharge home today.

    My first shave featured my favorite vintage razor, the Sheffield Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 and the Schick Model C injector, old classics like yours truly. My first task was to remove most of the overgrown whisker roughage with electric clippers. This was followed by lathering up with the best shaving soap in the world, MWF, IMHO. The three pass mug shave felt great and was followed by an equally exemplary two pass noggin shave. How nice to return to my regular cue ball state. I feel clean and wonderfully smooth.

    RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 (Mug), Schick Model C (Dome)
    BLADE: Schick Injector
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: JT Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.

    Veddy nice Jim! Glad you gave the plain Lupo a chance to play. As far as scents, I don't care for the dark ones.

    Looks like I'll have to wait until June 30 for my projections, eh? Course that is unless someone is "Blowin Away The Field").
