    April 17th
    Razor: Cooper Monobilt
    Blade: Sharp Star (1)
    Brush: SOC Taj Mistura
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Palmolive shave stick
    Stirling mentholated witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: Proraso

    Good morning!

    Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes, no touch up necessary. Near BBS with the faintest tickle from the alum.

    I've had six shaves with the Monobilt in the past when Andrew @Linuxguile loaned it to me. I was sad to give it back. Well now it's mine! More blade feel and louder than I remember. Excellent results!

    Andrew also sent along a Palmolive shave stick. Good stuff! Subtle scent and easy to lather, plenty slick and a nice post shave feel.

    Day off today. Lazy day planned. The two little granddogs came up to spend the day with me, they're good with lazy days. The writing on the wall says it may be two weeks before I get another day off so I'm going to enjoy this one.

    Have a great day!

    Nice, John!
    Inebriated shaving could become a thing. I think we've conquered inebriated shopping.

    I'm glad you escaped the shave unscathed, John. Sorry for the hangover.
    Jim, you always make me wonder why the same great doesn't look as good when I take a picture of it!

    Happy birthday, and it looks like you did have a happy birthday.

    I’ll break out the ‘Twins’ tomorrow. I do not think they make straight razors anymore therefore you can consider it vintage.

    Is it May already?

    Thank you, Andrew! I enjoy the Blue Barbershop scent as well. Makes me wonder if I'd like Floid Blue since it's supposed to be a clone, but alas it's hard to find since it's out of production.

    But always in search of an unknown masterpiece. And no, that doesn't include KC Masterpiece.
