Love that MITA soap - so easy to lather, smells great, and it gave me such a nice menthol punch. The Alt Innsbruck aftershave was a perfect finish to a terrific BBS shave!

Blade – Voskhod (1)
Brush – Olivewood with TGN Finest

LMR + MLB + FB + X2L = BBS
Superb shave today. The Colonel made slick thick lather very quickly from the LMR. I used the FB on nine for a close comfortable, drama free BBS. MLB finished up this shave right and matches the scent of LMR nicely.

Prep: Mickey Lee Lime
Soap: Catie's Bubbles LMR

Thanks! What seemed to have taken it to the next level was when I started using it for lathering my head. It's a must have for under $20 USD

today's shave
hot water wash with dove+ care and a washcloth
Parker pure badger
soap commander renewal
Merkur 39c
Ladas(xxx)/ persona lab(1)
soap commander renewal balm
spray of Tiamo for men
today's shave was nice, but regrettable. rainy Saturday, wanted a perfect slow relaxed late morning shave. two strokes into the first pass I realized that either my Ladas blade was used up or it doesn't like the slant. either way, I replaced it for a new lab.( always paired nicely with the hammer,ymmv). three new passes left my smooth as silk. grandson was watching, during one of his (fidgets) I knicked my lower lip, no blood, but I knew it was there. finished with sc renewal balm. then I paired it with tiamo for men parfum. the cologne ignited the knick. as I went to examine the source of my pain. I knocked the bottle off onto the tile. it matched the renewal nicely, but it's history.
Hope y'all did better.(period)
at least the house smells nice.

ty, and I'm sorry if I grumble about him sometimes.
he's 5, my wife and myself have had him since he was 2. I'm sure his lot is confusing.
but, raising kids was much easier at twenty than it is at fifty. thanks for letting me vent. I'm sure he appreciates it, even if he doesn't know.

 

David, your doing a good job. In my book if you don't grumble sometimes about things it means you simply are not caring and in my book that is a million times worse. You care for your grandson and one day you and your wife may be the ones he remembers as caring about him.
