Well, again South Porcupine cut me off from having a top-ranked shave this morning. A developed a Knick on the left side. You might say I "prepped the prep", by dunking it under the warm tap for a bit(spinning it around, of course), and giving it a strong shake. Minus the Knick, I really enjoyed the shave. I did miss the right-side sideburn area again, but had the presence of mind to go back and get it before breakfast. I'll watch out for that tomorrow. One pass. The Knick was the only damage. Most Outstanding.

 

thank you Gary.

 

Great Shave set up Chris. I like the Muhle R41, nice weight with a good handle even though it it is slightly slippery.

Good morning
Gillette Heritage
Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (4)
Omega Pro 49
Pedro Fiasco's Limoncello SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 40 hrs



I decided to go with the Heritage Razor for my first shave of the month. It is a mild razor, but it took down my 40 hr stubble with no problem. Three passes with buffing strokes gave me a bloodless BBS shave.
Limoncello is very slick and the scent is wonderful although it's not overpowering. If your into citrus cents, then you may want to consider it. Here's my lather:



I had a little alum feedback, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Splashed on the witch hazel and that nice, matching aftershave and I feel clean and refreshed. Take care.

 

Awesome start to the month Barry! That's definitely a Boots on the ground shave!

 

Thanks John. I Ike your monthly plan.

 

Terrific start to the month Chris! I will break out my Mühle some time this month. It's a very efficient razor to say the least.

 

fine first shave of the month Joe.

 

Beautiful setup and shave Gary!

 

thank you Joe.

 

Thanks Gary. I liked starting my first shave of this month with Limoncello. I feel the scent just brightens the beginning of my day.

An excellent Friday morning shave following an intense X3 Bar Pull workout. Yes Joe, @Trigger, I am in Beastmode just like my avitar. Three passes which lead to a smooth and comfortable shave.

Later this afternoon my son and I are headed up to the Cape, Falmouth, Mass, to go squid fish tomorrow with son’s cousins. Hopefully, there will be plenty of calamari, stuffed, fried or with pasta if the near future.

Hope you all have a great day.

 

Excellent introduction Joe. I am not going to focus on anything particular save den reduction. I am going to enjoy my shaves as I always do.

6 out

 

Excellent Waves shave Gary.

 

Happy Birthday Paul
