Clubman Styptic Pencil
2 pass DFS+ today. Great lather made with an awesome WWB brush. 'Frigga' shaved smooth as always, but she showed me whose boss (even when I'm paying attention!). I clipped the bump under my nose on the set down, and combined with the short healing in the same spot from yesterday....crimson was flowing (good thing wifey had left for work!). Quick second pass covering the other areas, styptic pencil applied (ooOOWWww!), called it good. Followed with PAA's Star Jelly (slightly mentholated), and matching Atomic Age Bay Rum AS/C. Crimson squelched, smooth enough, smelling nice.
For those not familiar with Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Atomic Age Bay Rum...it's BAY RUM through and through. Oak barrel aged a year during processing. No clove. Zilch. NADA. It's in your face Bay Rum, bellowing, overloaded 'argh' piratey goodness ....kicks every wimpy bay rum version to the curb with undeterred ease.
Wild West Brushworks...have a couple of his (Derek's) brush handles. If you haven't heard, well, tough story for his family. House burned a couple weeks before Christmas 2019, and took the brush shop with it. He's on hiatus for awhile, here's hoping he gets back to his passion sooner rather than later.
Hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday!
