An excellent shave to start this beautiful day. No rain, just bright sunshine with temperatures forecasted for the 70’s today. For once, the metrologists were right on target.

Fabulous three pass shave with the MMOC and the DG lather. The end result was a super close and comfortable shaves. No pinky kinks, gougy smouggies or other nonsensical events to increase the ratings of this shave to Most Outstanding from Super Duper.

 

Excellent spice shave Joe.

 

Fabulous shave Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Very nice shave Chris. Can’t go wrong with Merkur especially the 37c.

 

Excellent Proraso shave Gary.

 

Congratulations on the new brush addition to the den. Excellent inaugural shave Barry.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Another nice Tabac shave.

 

Marvelous Monday shave Joe. It was definitely a gem. I enjoyed today's weather. I wasn't cranky. Lol

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Yes, it was a beautiful Monday!

I just opened up my summer cottage on Long Island today and realized I have to equip a whole new shaving den out here!

Now...what do I equip my new shaving den with? Maybe I'll go single edge out here? Or maybe a Fatboy to cover all my bases? Aftershaves? Soaps? Brushes? Oh, this is going to be fun!

 

thank you Joe.

 

thank you Joe.

 

thank you again Joe.

 

That's a nice dilemma to have Jim. I don't know if you are aware of this, Joe Carbone and I live on the North Shore within 8 to 12 miles of StonyBrook.

 

Thank you Joe.
