    Goodbye 2014...and Hello 2015!!

    I just finished up the final shave of this year...

    I used my big bad badger brush to make quick work of the Gondolier soap sample that I received from @Tdmsu, many thanks kind sir! The scent is great, but I believe this is the older formula from HTGAM, and I would say it needed a little more protection. The lather was still nice, but I think their newer formula is better. I used the R41 paired with a Rapira blade, and after 3 passes, was left with a might fine smooth result. I finished up with some unrefined shea butter, and will be ready for tonight's countdown.

    I want to say thanks to all you guys and gals for making this place something special. I joined back in March, and have learned so much. I look forward to next year, and will do my best to give back and enable as many new soap purchases as I can..lol

    Stay safe tonight gents...

    Thank you for that, and a happy New Year to you!
    If I do partake of bubbly liquid refreshment at home later this eve, I will certainly look into a designated shaver if I decide to shave tonight….
    :eatdrink047:

    (Last night, dead tired, I decided to attempt a late night SR shave after being up since 330am Tues morn ; Slices on the cheek and adams apple on the first pass led me to hold off until I was well rested….)

    To begin the new year I'm going to make sure I FREEZE my face off the Stirling Glacial Way which is a menthol lover's dream-come-true. The Obsidian soap, with its awesome lather and strong black licorice scent is so pleasurable for me, not to mention the bitingly-cold menthol effect which it gives. With the Wintergreen witch hazel - splash it on after using a non-mentholated soap or cream and you'll freeze, splash it on after using a normally-mentholated soap or cream and you'll freeze even more, and splash it on after using the Obsidian or any other Glacial soap and you'll feel like you need a fur coat and a space heater! ;) :D

    Happy New Year, dear friends - I love you all! :)

    WEDNESDAY
    Final Day of 2014
    I decided to shave earlier tonight so as not to be impaired & wielding a straight razor (not that I plan on over-indulging, but after last night's blood-letting, I opted to start earlier :ashamed001:).
    2014 was a decent year—some ups, some downs, but as always, being part of this forum has always been consistently enjoyable!

    Here's to a joyfully blessed & prosperous New Year to you all! :eatdrink047:

    I doubt it. I am sure you're quite good at it, but I've got stoic and stern down pretty good. No need to confuse the issue now...;)

    Nivea Men's Face Wash
    Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
    Wild Cherry Silver Tip
    Schick Eversharp I2
    Personna Injector
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva

    The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry Silver Tip Badger Brush. I was very pleased with the brush's perfromance. Two passes with my Schick I2 and Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. This was the first time using the Personna injector blade. It is very sharp. I got one little weeper without knowing it. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
