When the timpani crashes, I fear I would accidentally slash something! Perhaps the Ingemisco would provide a more soothing background? Maybe Björling or Carreras?
Today's shave started off terrible because the Dorco blade was tugging badly, so I switched to a Derby which I transplanted from another razor and the ends justified the means - a very comfortable BBS shave. This Polar Vortex soap packs a wicked menthol punch - ok, not like a Glacial soap but definitely around Rod's Frozen Tundra. It also lathers so rich and easily. The Lucky Tiger/Snake Bite duo were an awesome soothing and freezing end!
SOTD December 8, 2016 Blade: Chinese Schick Razor: Schick I1 injector Brush: Jayaruh boar Lather: Stirling Ozark Mountain Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Ozark Mountain aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, touch-up Another nice shave with Stirling Ozark Mountain. Great scent, terrific performance - what's not to like? I'm interested to see how many shaves I can get from this sample. This is shave #5 with no sign of loss. Stirling lasts forever. Have a great day!
I have something lined up for tomorrow which carries a much lower risk of self mutilation, it's a little less invigorating however.

SOTD: 12/8/2016 - "Noah & Spyce" Pre: Hot shower Soap: Catie's Bubbles "Noah L'Orange" Brush: Brushguy Shave Supplies "Noah" 3-band Silvertip Razor: Phoenix Shaving Stainless DOC Evolution w/ Feather HS blade (1) Post: Royall Lyme Bermuda Ltd. "Royall Spyce" After some discussion last night about what next year's Noah soap will be, I realized I hadn't given this one much love lately. The more I use it, the more I love it. Cypress up front and Citrus in the back. I finally threw caution to the wind and ran a Feather in the DOC. No blood! Amazing! Granted, I was being exceptionally careful, but was rewarded with a great finish. Oh, and Royall Spyce pairs SO nicely with the soap. It was awesome. Be smooth and shave it up, everyone!

Dec. 8/2016 Thu. Razor: Ikon head/ Hibco handle Blade: Kai Captain Original Brush: VDH Badger Lather:La Toja Crema de Afeitar ( Spanish - Beats me) Pre Shave: Hibco Nag Champa A/S: Aqua Velva AS/Hibco nag Champa Butter Balm Newspaper Date: July 18,1945 Wow! One fine shave. Outside of being a little aggressive, I believe it was the closest 1st pass I`ve ever experienced. The 2nd pass (slightly wetter) finished the shave off. A very minor clean up where I usually have problems. `nuff said. Here`s to the same for all. God`s Speed to all. Bill
