Thanks Gary.

 

Very nice shave and setup Gary. Was the lather thin because you had too much water?

 

thank you Joe.not sure to be honest .added the same as per usual.the b & m can be hit and miss,the water hardness varies somewhat this time of year,the semogue is only 3 shaves in as well..lighter load maybe..user error most likely

 

For this Memorial Day, I had the same shave products as yesterday. Course as is the custom, I did have a different

Brush-Large Blue No-Name Synthetic

Being the big brush it is, it gave me great lather over the minute loading. Nice clean clear look and feel all over. I did A LITTLE better with the pour spout of the "New" Spice A.S., but not the way I like. What comes out is real nice, but I need it to come out with no issues. Overall, Super Duper Outstanding.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

May 27 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #549
C-Mon Razor
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
TSD Barbershoppe SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 23 hrs



I went with my other C-Mon straight razor for this afternoon's shave. As you can see, it is larger. Anyway, it is still sharp to do the job. Three passes gave me a BBS result without any damage to my epidermis.
Again, I am now a supporter of TSD soaps. Unfortunately, I can only vouch for the lanolin soaps. You can requests soaps without lanolin, but I never tried them so I can't give my opinion on them. However, the scents need to be kicked up two to three notches. Here's my lather:



I didn't get any alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and aftershave to finish the shave. I am pleased with this shave. Take care.

Extremely busy weekend therefore the late post. Sunday consisted of yard work, the Ranger game, on tv and then the second half via radio,

and The Rolling Stones concert in the swamp, MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey.


Today, Memorial Day consisted of some well deserved sleep as we arrive home from the concert at 2:15 AM. I was able to get in an X3Bar workout, work on the pool and grocery shop with the missus before we went to the movies with Anthony.

Both shaves resulted in an error free and smooth end result. Hope those of you celebrating Memorial Day enjoyed whatever you choose to do. For all others I hope you have a fine Monday.

 

Fantastic shaves and setups Joe. Just reading your fun activities is making me tired. Lol! Seriously, glad you had an awesome weekend.

 

Thank you Joe.
