Greetings,

Early morning shave,

An enjoyable shave to finish the month off wonderfully.

My month open comb razor focus has been a joy, especially my reacquaintance with the Yaqi DOC Mellon.

In the November focus I will alternate both the Parker 87R & 94R razors weekly for my face shaves pairing them up with the Treet Dura Sharp (Carbon) Blue pack blade, & will continue to use a variety of Cartridge razors for my head shaves.

Tonight is Halloween night ever since I was kid it has always been something I've looked forward to.

Parents uncles, aunties, grandparents, friends, neighbours will be having the usual mass visiting Trick-or-Treating presence from Wolverines, Michael Myers, Witches, Werewolf's, Father-In Laws, Mother-In Laws, Zombies, Vampires, Frankenstein's, Mummy's & Daddy's, Beetlejuice's, Batmans, Batwomen, Jokers, Freddy Krueger's, Chuckie's, Jason Voorhees knocking on the door queuing up for the boat load of goodies people have for them around the world to mark this 'spooky Halloween Trick-or Treating event.

Something That I always mention on Halloween is don't forget to keep your pets indoors and safe from harm while enjoying the spooky & soon to come bonfire-Guy Fawkes night (UK) festivities.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Excellent shave to end the month Barry.

Nice shave this morning for Throwback Thursday. Clean and clear all over. One pass. Goose-eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots. Proraso's foam is quite the canned product. The Pro Refreshing A.S. was a success. Closed with Halston cologne. As Outstanding As It Gets.

Thank you, Joe.

Do they come in pucks(the shave soaps)?

no,it's bar soap..

fine thursday shaves gents.

DE Shave # 550 - Halloween Shave

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Rod George Catacomb 2
Blade: Suneko Amorphous Diamond SS
Brush: Whipped Dog Butterscotch 24 mm
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: Barrister & Mann Season of the Witch
Aftershave: Derby City Chop Shop Small Batch Tonic- Winter Reserve
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Outstanding Barrister & Mann shave this morning. I picked up a sample of this soap as I thought it would be perfect for today’s festivities. The scent profile is as follows: “
Inspired by the deep-rooted history of witchcraft in New England, here is an elixir of arcane delight, a construct of hypnotic, narcotic allure. The dulcet tones of broom flowers, so captivating in their elegance, are blended with notes of violet and honeysuckle, flowers known to waylay and ensnare the unwary.

Beneath this enrapturing accord, ripples of power lurk. The green dustiness of tarragon, the spicy tang of nutmeg and wormwood, and elemental, primordial notes of oakmoss, oud, and woodsmoke bubble from the depths, bathing the flowers in their eldritch glow. Mossy and primeval, floral and herbal, the product of centuries of tradition and craft, Season of the Witch is the potion of a modern age, composed to enthrall and enchant. Something wicked this way comes.” While it appears some what dark in nature then is a sweetness to the scent that is intoxicating. Additionally, with a bit of OUD in the scent this shave classifies as the last of my OUDtober shaves.

The custom Rod George Catacomb 2 fitted with the Suneko blade delivered a comfortably close shave. My face is silky smooth 8 hours post shave.


The Derby City Small Batch Winter Reserve paired nicely with the soap.

Hope you all have a safe Halloween.

Thank you Joe.

Thank you Gary

Outstanding shave Gary.
