June 25

Razor - Edwin Jagger DE89l
Blade (3)
Soap - Tabac
Brush - 2019 30DC Meet-Up LE
Post - Alum

It's Tabac Tuesday! It was a busy and quite successful day. Seems like the bad ju-ju that I fought last week has lifted and that' good news! Time to get out the new LE brush and introduce it to Tabac. The razor and blade definitely have another go left in them so it was all about getting the SynBad loaded and getting that face lather to perfection. Once I had that done, which was incredibly easy, it was all about just relaxing and getting into the zen of the shave. I needed a bit of a slow down and three passes did the trick. They also brought me to a near-BBS shave and that's just fine.

Speaking of this brush - I posted on Sunday the process for owning one. I have 7 brushes available and one handle only. These are fantastic brushes, made out of Poculi, also known as Red Zebrawood, and handcrafted by our own @jtspartan . I shouldn't have any left by now yet.....they are. PM me for details.

Hope your Wednesday is as good as my Tuesday was!

​

About a 1:30am shave here . Finally cooled down after a scorcher of a day. Not complaining. Very nice 2 passer with the Canadian E3, Williams, Burma shave boar and nice cool Nivea balm for a topper . Simple , fast , effective. Aint that what shavins all about?

Nice setup Neal. I also thought those beautiful brushes would have been scooped up by now .

awesome shave sir..simple is good..

Thank you Gary. Simple is pretty good yes.

Back Home!!!

It was great to see everyone at the meetup, I am too jet lagged to list out the names. It was fun meeting people for the second and also meeting new people. A very diverse and interesting group.

Like Randy, I had my own version of planes, trains and automobiles Sunday. I was getting ready to head out when I got a text from American saying my flight was delayed, which of course meant I would not be able to make my connection. While I Chris and I were trying to find alternatives for the connection I got another text, my flight was cancelled and they wanted to rebook me on later flight that would get me into Vegas after midnight.

Having a bad feeling about this Chris and I turned our Google-fu loose and looked for other possibilities. I found a flight on Delta and booked it online, then they sent me a message I had to call them to complete the payment. Never had that before. While I waited on hold I got another text message that my rebooked flight on American was delayed.

I was on hold for an hour and then Chris suggested we just drive out to the airport and just pay at the counter. I stayed on hold the whole time until I walked up to the counter, fortunately, no line and I was able to pay. We headed out for lunch and then back to the hotel to wait for my new flight. After lunch I got a new text, American had cancelled my rebooked flight and was booking me on an even later flight and I would get to Vegas.... who knows. Fortunately, I had booked the Delta flight.

This was the setup I used for the trip, A Karve F plate and a Feather DX along with my Everset brush.


After a very long flight over the Pacific and a few hours at home, I had to go into the office. It felt good to have a proper SR shave in my the comfort of my den. The edge on the straight felt so much smooother than the Feather Pro or DE blades. The results are the same just more comfortable. The edge on the Friodur was like velvet and very sharp. The planets aligned and the shave was epic.



This shave also completed my EDBIO with a soft Shavemac.

Nice shave, Robert!

Great picture, Patrick!

That sounds like a very long trip back, Keith. Glad you made it back safely.

That had to be an interesting day. Glad you enjoyed the meetup and made it home safely Keith.

Thank you Jim.

Great meeting you, Keith! Glad to hear you made it home safely!

Good morning!

Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. The alum was silent except for a warm spot on my left jaw.

Have a great day!
