Rare that I post shaves, but here's one for Decadent December.
Proraso, my fav pre-shave, just a little goes a long way. Noxema? Fuggettaboutit!
Stirling unscented, because I love the puffs of rich thick lather from mutton tallow, but not a super fan of most of the scents offered (although Scots Pine is OK with me).
Lather up with the StirlingBadger Fan. Could be the greatest value around in badger. Love the handle. I'd drop the cash instantly for one with a syn tuxedo fan.
Did the stropping routine then hit the ugly mug with a hot washcloth and relathered. No shortage of the suds. I became a cold water shaver with safeties, but grew to like hot with a straight.
First time out with this Cocobolo scaled Sunday Shaver that the Lovely Mrs Headroom authorized for Christmas. Shoulderless 5/8 extra hollow, expertly honed at TSS. My first one is sooo delightful, I wanted a 2nd for a measure for when I undertake a rehone.
Treated the skin to the limeflavored Trumpers Skin Food. I'll always have some of this magic elixir.
The glorious Stank of the day is Tuscany for the finish. A sweet clean fresh floral aroma that you are sure NOT to like IF you are into the smells of ashtrays, bar rooms, or dirt naps. However the gals in the Headroom household love it, and yea, I still got myman-card.
Hoping everyone had a Blessed Christmas!
