Decadent December!!

December 18


Razor - 1947 Gillette Super Speed
Blade - (3)
Soap - Route 66 Sweeney Todd
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

Decadence rolls on with a third shave with the '47 and Ladas. The blade feels like it might be getting just a bit tired but it still produced a very fine DFS in two passes. Three shaves is all I usually use on a blade anyway so it's all fine and dandy. The soap and brush were fantastic together and I did lather a third time just to say I did, then rinsed it with hot water without using the blade again. Just had to feel that brush one more time. I ordered some Route 66 samples that will be here tomorrow so I'm planning on trying one of those tomorrow. Then, on Tuesday, it's a special day with a special retro setup.

It's 5 degrees in STL tonight. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Keeps the murder rate down as nobody is outside during the drive bys. Also causes bad aim from the shivering. Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine has just started and I'm ready for it.

That is an astounding brush and the pen is nice, too.

Thank you and it photographs, very nicely.

Short, sweet, simple Sunday shave
