MAYhem!!! 2019 May 12 Razor - Muhle R41 Blade - (3) Soap - Stirling 2018 Fair Debonaire St. Louis Brush - Jayaruh #54 Alum Let's just get this out of the way for the Game of Thrones fans around here. Wow. Not sure the correct reaction to that next to last episode ever. Was it good? Yes. Surprising? In a couple of places, yes. Was it dark? Oh, yeah, was it ever. Here we go. One more episode to go. For the rest of you who don't have to worry about that obsession - it's shave time. Final turn with the R41 and Sharp Star. Two days growth and I decided to grab the Stirling Fair Debonaire LE soap, better known now as Havorford. This is a great smelling soap that lathers up to a dark tan which makes it kind of fun. It's Stirling, so it's slick and protective. The JR54 brush looks pretty funky covered with brown lather, but it's a really cool shave overall. Three passes to the baby and I'm set for the coming week. While I usually don't work on Mondays I will be tomorrow as we are making our annual pilgrimage to central Missouri for Interfuse from Thursday to Sunday. Just a heads up, I won't be around here after Wednesday night until sometime late on Sunday. I won't be shaving between then either as I'll have more important things to do. Camp, stay up until 4am dancing and partying, you know, those kinds of things. Hope you have a great Monday and a great start to your week!

Menthol Monday's Shave Cold Water Rinse C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream Bunny B-400 by Tom Bunny V3 Personna Injector CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face lathered well with the Bunny B-400 by Tom. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 razor with a Personna Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sorry for going picture free this morning - no time because Madame and I are presently waiting to board a plane for a two week vacation in Miami. Menthol Monday: Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Wilkinson TTO/Wilkinson day 2 Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Stirling Glacial Obsidian ASB Fine Snake Bite AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdT This menthol assault is absolutely lethal and it can wreak havoc on anyone who’s not able to tolerate it but at the same time the skincare of all these products is wonderful. Two passes and I’m 100% BBS. I’ll do my best to pop in here when I can so in the meantime I wish everyone a great week.
