    Growth = 28 hours

    Prep = cold water soak x 3
    Preshave = TOBS Jermyn Street as preshave
    Cream/Soap = Sterling Agar, getting this dialled in nicely. Thick and slick, pointy peaks to the lather, just short of dripping. Extra face lathering added the final touch
    Brush = 10049
    Bowl = Timeless
    Razor = Gillette Red Tip
    Blade = Gillette Platinum (2)
    Passes = 3 +
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers
    ASL = PR Barbe Dure
    Scent = Black Oud rolled on to the pulse points

    I need to be more restrained in its application...
    ... remembering this is not an EdT

    Damage = none

    Red tip did another sterling job, the Gillette Platinum is already smoother today, but since 3 passes were needed, it was binned

    Fantastic Thursday wishes to one and all

    Ahh, I'm sure you're right.....it's just the STYLE and APPEARANCE of that ad that made me think it was done earlier. Course then, Namath came along in the 1960's with his Brut ads.

    Excellent Southern Den shave this morning following a disastrous trip of significant issues including flight delays and an over 3 hours of standing on line waiting for a rental car. We did not arrive to our home until 6:30 this morning.

    After a two rest, the X3 Bar workout started my day followed by a wonderful three pass shave.

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Thanks Joe. Now, I only have 2 TSD containers of soap to finish. I will be happy with finishing another one before the year is out.
