SoS: February 16, 2015 - February 22, 2015

Yeah we are actually taking some time off over in Hendersonville - We were able to get out this afternoon and get more food.
They are talking about more snow tomorrow

 

SOTD: Tuesday, February 17
Soap: CRSW Bay Rum
Brush: Semogue BC MIstura
Bowl: n/a
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Feather (4)
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails


Have as great day!​

 

Wednesday's shaving plans:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 3
Stirling Glacial Lavender SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Fahrenheit EdT

Damn, this Glacial Lavender soap became such a favourite of mine that the more I use it the more I love it. I still cannot get over how nice it smells, or how well it lathers, and how it freezes my face to smithereens and at the same time how perfect its skincare is. My shave today with the Glacial Lemon Chill soap was wonderful, so I'm looking forward to the same results tomorrow morning. The Gold Bond/Rubby Dubby Doo is one hell of a great face-freezing duo!

Really chased the baby today for some unknown reason. Caught that sucker, too! But I got carried away, overzealous, whatever you want to call it. My face is smooth as a baby's butt. Unfortunately, the baby's butt is missing the first layer of skin. My face looks good, no blood, no weepers, no nicks, but it's killing me. Ah, live and learn.[/quote]
I know what you mean. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is set the razor down and let the stubble stay. Other days I channel Mr. Churchill and never surrender, for better or worse.

 

I've used it since the late sixties. Great stuff! Back then it was my signature scent.

 

The pre-shave cream (white tub) is great. Its got a great menthol coolness to it.

 

XVII February MMXV Shave

Nice outdoor photo, Jon!

 

Wait...it's a vacation shave and there's snow? Sorry, but I just don't get it.

 

Returning to night shaves!

Shave of the Evening

Muhle R41/t2
Gillette 7 O'Clock
Synthetic
Arko​

​

 

SOTD: Wednesday 2/18

Razor: 1975 long handle Black Beauty (lovingly brought back to life by Cap'n Murphy)
(Had to stop using the 1970 short handle BB due to a mechanical breakdown, the 1/4 turn just disappeared! BB is soaking.)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Sharp Edge (Still trying out blades. These aren't bad)
Brush: Strong Set restore, WD black badger knot (This brush is a "lather machine"!)
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot (mmm, lime)
AS: Barbasol Pacific Rush
This is going to be "GO EASY WEDNESDAY"!

Tuesday's shave (this morning) was spent chasing that stupid baby around. Just as always happens when an old fart (figuratively speaking) chases a little kid, inevitably the old fart gets hurt and the kid sits there and laughs. So was my experience on Tuesday.

So Wednesday is going to be a DFS at best, just because. If they look at me funny at work, so be it.

 

Evening Shave for Tomorrow
Sweet combo of the Otto Deutsch & the MdC Fougére makes for a smooth, super-close comfy shave!
Using a new razor every day sort of 'short-changes' the experience each razor brings to the table.
Mixed metaphors aside, I need to execute consecutive shave days with the same razor to truly get a good feel for each.
Have a great Hump day, all!
