    (Slant, Simpsons)

    4 PM 32 hours, all Set for tomorrow

    Prep = usual Cold Water Shave with Proraso Preshave Blue
    Croap = TOBS Eton College, lovely mild scent
    Brush = Simpsons Chubby 2 gets a Second Chance, much better this time***
    Bowl = Timeless bowl
    Razor = Slant Merkur 37C
    Blade = Gillette Platinum (3) still ok, but only just
    Passes = 2 with touch ups, another pass with touch ups
    Post = CWR, Alum minimal, CWR, Thayers, Pinaud ASL
    Damage = none

    Score = 9/10

    *** Comments = Loaded the Simpson heavily. Two scoops of the TOBS into the Timeless bowl, titrating in the water, super duper, still nice and SLICK right till the end. Gotta fill this chunky brush so it gets no chance to do any hogging. Still shedding some hair but I have only used it around 10 – 15 times, still more of a painter than a spreader

    Lovely Limoncello scent from the Eton College and Pinaud

    Have a lovely Thursday folks, looking forward to seeing more September Shaves

    A nice Throwback Thursday shave. That Stoylin Glacial really hit the spot on a day where we can fry eggs on the parking lot. Clean and clear in most areas, save for the two Porcupines(North and South), which came up with 3 Knicks in all. I had confidence that the cold-water rinse and cool A.S. would kill'em, as they did. Cactus Nation came out fine. 2 passes. Joseph(I forget his screen name)once wrote in heere that it doesn't matter what happens DURING the shave, it matters how you look AFTER it. Therefore, I'll go down a couple grades to Most Outstanding. Just can't give this one the top grade, regardless of Joseph's comment.

    Chris, here's somethig we need to get to the bottom of..the right pronounciation for Pinaud. Some call it "paNAOUD," some csll it paNOED". I call it "PeaKnow".(thus without the D). I wonder what the correct one is. We could ask Eduardo(Pinaud),but he's unavailable I do believe.

    Great setup and shave. Wonder if that humble Silver Star appreciates its companions in the shave.

    Awesome Thursday shave. The little Zinc razor head is an amazing shaver. The Shore Shave brush is just a pleasure to use and look at...it is so purdy.

    Take care everyone!
