Super setup and image Gary! Love the idea on the theme.

Nice image and combination Andrew!

Fun informative read Bill, Proraso...mmmm. Great setup!

Thanks Joe!

I've already started. It's a routine for over a decade now. Thursday starts lots of water/fluids (no adult beverages). Sat/Sun 7am to 5pm I wear the 'goofy archeologist' or 'fly fisherman' long sleeved shirts/long pants, huge brimmed hat. All made from breathable lightweight (but still SPF50 and bug resistant) light colored materials. Two 40 packs of water already packed....one to drink, one to pour on the sleeves/hat while in the sun. Slightest breeze = A/C! Even have an insulated backpack that keeps the bottles cold for 1/2 day. I'll try to do some images trackside and send along as I can.

 

thank you Blair..will take a little research and finding some key items..razors will be the easy part..

 

Wonderful pickups and nice shave Bill.

Sounds like you’ve got your routine down to a science.

 

A fly-by posting. Too busy to catch up buy wanted to let everyone know I am alive and well and shaving.

George Wostenholme, one of my few 'old tyme' straights. An epic shave to start my Friday.

 

Excellent shave Keith. I hope you and your bride are well.

Happy Friday Everyone. This week has gone by very quickly. For the most part it has been a drama free and productive week for me. I had to go with the Fat for a Fat Friday Shave. The lather today was thick, rich and supper slick. I have grown to really like MWF soap and will certainly repurchase when this on is gone. Three passes and touch ups ended in another automatic BBS shave. I hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday.

Brush: SOC Badger
Pre-shave: PAA Cube
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
PAA Galactic Witch Hazel
PAA Star Jelly
AS: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

Good morning!

Wow, what a shave! Three passes for near BBS. I did find that the Sailor will bite if not paying attention. Came in too fast and too heavy along my left jaw. I felt the pinch as soon as the razor landed. Tiny nick that stopped bleeding with a cold water rinse.

Today was my thirteenth consecutive shave with the Sailor and I'm reluctantly going to set it aside. Not sure what I'm going to follow it up with but it's going to have to be something good.

Have a great day!

I've had this soap sample (Thanks Paul Stubble Daddy) sitting for some time now as I'm slow to get to samples and the scent is just so so for me. Not bad but not special to me. The base of Moon soaps that I've tried are VERY good though as was this even though I did the dreaded bowl lather method rather than face lathering. Great shave with the Game Changer .84. This was a repurchase after sellers remorse. I still prefer the Lupo .95 but glad to have one of these amazingly priced tools back in the den. (Thanks Paul, mrdoug) Didn't sleep well last night after the killer day yesterday and decided to take the day off to roast some coffee and do whatever around the house that needs doing.........if I feel like it. Have a Great Day Everyone !!

Clint @clint64 PIFed this cream to me a while back and I do not know why I don't reach for it more often. It is good slick stuff and whips up with very little effort. It is a thirsty soap but man does it deliver.

Three smooth passes with the Colibri open comb this morning. The alum was a little warm in a few places but it was still a very enjoyable shave......to think I used to hate shaving but look at the money I'm saving. The Hummingbird delivered the baby this morning and I love this Russian steel.

A little witch hazel, few squirts of juice and it was finished.

Hope every one has a great Friday!
