    Glad you are feeling better. Nothing like chicken soup to cure what ails you.

    I woke up this morning and I was drenched. My fever finally broke. I guess my thermometer was not broke after all. It was 98.8. Fifteen min later it was 98.9. I feel more energized. Maybe, I should have done the hot chicken soup trick a few days earlier. Lol! Thanks for your support during this time. However, I will still be taking it easy when I go to the gym today. It will be very light cardio for the rest of the week.

    Oct 6 SOTD Head and Face Shave

    Good morning.

    Rockwell 6C (setting 6)
    Rockwell Blade (?)
    MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
    Tabac Stick
    Old Spice AS
    Maggard's Alum Block
    Dickinson's WH
    Beard Growth: 23 hrs

    20211006_105648.jpg

    I decided to do a head shave and a face shave in preparation for my nephew's viewing this evening. I usually shave my head every 2 days.
    Tabac really is slick and the Rockwell razor was gliding effortlessly. 2 passes on my face and 3 for my head gave me BBS shaves without any cuts or irritation. Did not get any feedback from the alum anywhere. Finished with witch hazel and the Old Spice. I am happy with today's shaving episode. Enjoy your day.

    SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 6, 2021

    Well, here I am, late to the party on this fifth day of OC October. This morning’s mug shave featured my Hoshi Tombo 8000. These razors have been increasingly difficult to source in recent years, and this particular razor had its tang shortened, for whatever reason by a previous owner. Some might consider it unsightly, but you don't shave with the tang, and the supposed disfigurement was money in my pocket. The edge on this silver steel razor popped styrofoam indicating it was Feather Super sharp. Two passes with some buffing and flatblading on my troublesome neck whiskers put the baby to bed.

    My OC dome shave starred one of my favorite Gillette New models, the New Standard. This little silver plated beauty never fails to deliver a highly efficient, very close shave, and that was certainly the case this morning. I really enjoy the feel of the OC on my scalp. The Razorock Rubberset replica with its very efficient synth knot easily generated the two types of lather I prefer for my shaves. Thin, slick, and watery for the mug, and thicker and more yogurty for my noggin. Two ATG passes closed the deal leaving your happy narrator very smooth and clean from the shoulders up.

    RAZOR: Hoshi Tombo 8000 (Mug), Gillette New Standard
    BLADE: Kai DE (5)
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: RazoRock Rubberset Replica with Synth Knot
    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.

    Great buy, Danny! Would you happen to have the Amazon link, I foolishly bought mine from Stirling and overpaid. I’d like to buy a few for my sons and grandsons.
