Wonderful Saturday morning shave. In the car by 8:00 AM to head to Queens to take Hercules to the Vet. All is well. The trip home was a disaster taking 2 1/2 hours to get home. The worst part was the first 10 miles getting out of Queens, 90 minutes . Geez just love summertime beach/bed out East to escape the City traffic.

Fortunately, my three pass shave left my face smooth and refreshed. The boar brush whipped up a huge amounts of lather to provide an excellent cushion. Hope you have had a great day gentlemen.

 

Very nice shave, Gary. I really, really like that razor. If you run out of a place to store it I have space in my drawer. Take care.

 

Excellent shave Gary

 

Convex Hone - Touch up & Shave

• Sharpening done on the Domed Hones of Iniquity & Abrasively Charged Bumpy Balsa strops, all lapped elliptically convex. Then Bench Roo & hanging leather
• Software - Stirling Tuscany software
• Omega boar suds whipper & painter
• Symmetrical Pottery shave bowl
• Dovo 5/8 SS En Vogue
• Operator lubricant - Macallan Scotch (found hiding in second hand Spanish sherry barrels after 12 years)

I wanted to give this tool a run on my sharpening stuff since I surface shaped them all on ‘that evil plate’.

Testing by packing peanut and today’s test shave confirm it is liked better than ever.

Tuscany is a mostly floral type smell containing cypress, bergamot, and violet. It was marketed as a unisex scent that is supposed to be discontinued. Since it makes The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious, I stocked up on it.

High performance/low priced brush in the cool but pricey bowl.

Delightful shave it was.

Honing liquid. While I’m normally a blue collar beverage guy, I wanted to treat myself to some Scotch from the eye level shelf. Not being a connoisseur of this stuff I figured I should consume by prescribed methods. Years ago, I tried to acquire a taste for Scotch on stuff a friend had. I’m pretty sure it was found on a shelf you needed to bend down to get to, and it just never struck my fancy. I started off neat, then with a little water, then ice, and finally with cola, which I liked best. I get the whole complexity of flavors and taste thing, but please don’t tell anybody I dumped some coke in my booze, it might start another uprising.



Disclaimer - this is stuff I do, for me. And the only guy I needed to make happy, is just that.

 

Best of luck in this next chapter in your life. The Marines will soon realize they have a quality person and developing elder in their midst. I will keep you in my thoughts. Enjoy your last evening at home.
