Just the Basics June!! June 27 Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9) Blade (2) Soap - Oleo Soapworks El Caballero Brush - Jayaruh #230 Post - Alum Something very strange happened today. I got up, went out and did my thing, came home, and......not one time......not even for a moment......did it rain. It did get to the mid 90's for a high - but..........no rain. Not sure how to interpret that. Nevertheless it was good day and finished off even better with another fine shave with the Fattie and Sharp Star. It's "That'll do Thursday" so I chose the El Caballero that lurks in my cabinet for the soap. JR230 for a classy and quick lather with this soap. It performs well, it's slick and the scent is unique. Not bad at all. Two passes and some touch ups to a near-BBS and I'm calling it a fine shave. Alum was quiet, so no complaint or worries. Friday has already arrived again and the weekend is close behind! Make it a great one!

The shave should be awesome as usual.

Tabac Thursday SOTN Any day is a great day for Tabac... 2.5 days of beard growth were no match for the Feather Professional blade (~15 shaves so far) with the Colonial General Aluminum / Ikon Bulldog combo. A little extra buffing along the jaw for BBS. Should I look for a stainless or brass Colonial General?? Comfy for bed. Night all! Josh Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
2019-06-28, Friday The heat has arrived here too: today they expect perceived temperatures of 41° C, hence shut off heating and removed quilts and woolen underpants! The Violetta di Parma seemed appropriate and it was: 'soft', fragrant lather ... and that razor is excellent with almost any blade. I took my time and, believe me, it's not little for me!

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #369 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet AutoStrop VB1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 6 Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB Osage Rub AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP Exactly what I needed - an intense menthol bombardment and that’s what I got. The Glacial Black Cherry soap delivered perfectly with its beautiful scent, a boatload of awesome lather, and two boatloads of frigid menthol which felt heavenly. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Osage Rub aka the Rubby Dubby Doo put the proverbial “icing on the cake.” Two passes did the job for me and I turned out BBS!
