I am sure there have been a lot of folks say that after seeing the Marines coming...usually after the words "OH S@@@"
Wednesday July 5 - NOT Cinco de Julio for me Rockwell 6s on plate #3 / Topaz Platinum ( 2 ) Omega B+B Essential Boar Red Green Duct Tape Special frankensoap Alum and Clubman VIBR I would have done the Cinco de Julio popsicle stick razor but my stapler ran out of staples. if it hadn't been for this completely unforeseen mishap, I would have been out there slicing my face up with the rest of the lemmings. You know how that goes... So I was forced to enjoy a safe , sane and relaxing shave before going on shift instead. (The stage directions note that the above lines require a complete and total lack of sincerity in the voice.) I haven't used the Omega boar brush for a couple months but it performed to specs as usual, munching up a mouthful of the soft soap and spitting out gobs of lather. After which the Rockwell did its thing. The Clubman VIBR then gives a nice Island lift to the spirits to finish it all off.
Cinco de Julio SOTD: Stirling Synthetic Brush Tiki Cabernet Neroli SS Popsicle Stick Shavette Stirling Unscented PSB Adidas Dynamic Pulse AS I forgot that Cinco de Julio fell on a normal gym morning, otherwise I would have done what Adam did and gone for a Quatro de Julio shave. As it was, I got up a bit early and shaved before heading to the gym. I did 1 and a half passes and am very near BBS. I had two small weepers, one on my neck in a spot I seem to nick every now and then, and one on my chin due to a bit of carelessness. In reality, I drew much more blood assembling my razor than shaving. My stapler is not up to going through popsicle sticks, so I'll have to find another solution before trying this again. I hope everyone has a great day!
5 July 2017 Feels Like Monday, But It's Wednesday Blade Focus Shave Pre: Hot water, soap from the puck, hot towel Razor: 1966 Schick Krona Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Green Brush: Omega 10098 Soap: Catie's Bubbles "Florentine Fern" Post: Hot/Cold rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer After Shave: Speick Erfrischende Pflege A/S Woke up this morning and coulda swore it was Monday, but of course it's Wednesday. Broke out the "Florentine Fern". Using the big Italian Boar, whipped up a great lather that smelled even better. 2.5 passes of shaving excellence later, I had a midweek DFS. Just a little J hooking on my neck to polish things up. Splashed on the Speick that arrived the other day and off to work I went. See ya!!
July 5, 2017 Cobra Classic Schick Proline (4) Zenith B02 Boar Route 66 Bay Lime Twist Folsom & Co Shambala Back to work after an very long weekend. The big boar brush easily whipped the Route 66 Bay Lime Twist into a mountain of rich slick lather. I am really enjoying this scent. Went with a two pass shave that ended a touch better than my normal near BBS. I realize I need to take more time on my neck which will be a challenge most work mornings. A splash of F&C Shambala and I am ready for the day. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
Like Adam, I had a surprisingly good shave this morning. I only did two passes, and I'm definitely DFS. Route 66 Bay Lime Twist TSD 30DC LE Brush Gillette Silver Blue Kamisori Lucky Tiger Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Happy Cinco de Julio

I'm beginning to feel that MAYhem may be attempting a comeback. Cinco De Julio appears to have reawakened the bloodlust and one-upmanship inherent in the system. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
