Haven't seen u use your merkur for a while

 

Thank you Troy, Bird Lives, David, and Kevin. I sat down last night and processed the significance of what yesterday meant and how important it is to celebrate. I feel more in love with my wife yesterday, and I will stop there before it gets cheesier

 

At one time I couldn't put it down, it's a great razor IMO, and I need to use it more often. Like tomorrow

I've been struggling with my technique this week. I shaved off my goatee and have apparently forgotten how to shave my chin. Nothing serious just a few weepers but I find poor technique aggravating. Anybody can make a mistake but I've been making them to consistently. Have a good one.

It would have been easier to just load a Schick blade but I was able to get a Personna loaded without damaging it.
Stopped in a Marshall's store last night and picked up a few specialty soaps including a couple flavors of Pecksniff's body wash for a very good price.

 

Sunday, September 21, 2014 - Birthday Shave

Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
Razor: Schick Adjustable M2
Blade: Schick (1)
Lather: WSP Lavender
Brush: Oscar11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot
Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
Aftershave: Shulton Old Spice

I didn't shave yesterday, so I had plenty of growth for today. This was the first time I used a Schick blade and it was great. I found it to be much sharper and smoother than the Personnas. All of the WSP soaps I have tried are very nice and the Lavender has a wonderful scent. I finished with a very smooth, easy BBS shave.

Have a great day!

 

Happy Birthday Scott! arty: Hope you have a great day planned. (A ride on the bike would be very nice! )

 

Or any vintage Gillettes either. Miss 'em a little. I'm doing Single Edge SEptember and only using my Injectors.

Cool photo! It looks like it was taken near a campfire.

 

It's taken from my terrace, the orange lights are from the lampposts of the street
