    WSP Barbershop
    Myrsol Antesol

    The WSP Barbershop is a lightly scented soap. Thankfully it does have some top citrus notes and does not have the baby powder notes that plague many barbershop scents. It some ways it reminds me of a lighter scented B&M Seville. I mistakenly overloaded the "Soap Destroyer", so I had enough lather for 6 or more passes. Despite adding tons of water, I never fully corrected my overloading mistake. Even so the lather was super slick. Three passes and touch ups along the jay line ended in a near perfect shave. I forgot to touch up my lower right neck. A splash of Antesol followed by some Guerlain Habit Rouge EdT and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Hemingway Accoutrements~~Simpson 2 "Chubby"~~dubl duck Goldedge
    Had to choose today's "Birthday Boy" edge...so :greet002: @gssixgun

    The Hemingway line is an "upscale" product. I really like the fact that the company isn't
    spending itself too thin introducing a myriad of different scents and soaps.
    One scent and a few related shave products. I hope they succeed.
    The shave crème can be used with or without a brush, but when you have a Two Band Chubby,
    well, that's a no-brainer. The super badger knot is very plush, with excellent flow-through.
    I have had some chubbies that were true "lather-hogs".
    The dubl duck (if spell check continues to change "dubl" to "dual" I am going to lose it!)

    is such nice razor. The edge needs refreshing and I am going to use my newly acquired Shapton 16K Glass stone.
    Details at 11:00pm. :eatdrink013:
    Had to clean up the chin with the '58 Adjustable. Not a biggy, but I couldn't get the hairs cut with the dd.
    Ended up with a DFS++ shave---probably could call it a BBS, but it might fail the cotton ball test in a couple of areas.

    Alum, Thayer's and the HA Aftershave Tonic completed a terrific Tuesday shave.

    Great shave Neal and I think Stirling can handle it.....good stuff. Could the cartel "persuade" Rod @ezlovan to come up with a cookie scented shave soap? Think about a freshed baked chocolate chip scented shave soap....awesomeness.

    There is a for Men version called Him as well, Charlie. I’m assuming that is the one Rod based it on...

    Great shave Jim. Awesome picture as always. That handle looks very "grippy". Take care.
