    He was great at that. My grandfather had a DVD collection of his variety show that I used to enjoy watching.

    Poor man. I'm not quite there yet, but close. Same thing that took Beatle George Harrison(well, I might be wrong...he may have died of lung cancer.)

    Great looking shave, Jeff. MWF is getting a lot of love today. That charcoal Menthol Cube looks great, btw.

    I have two of these I got NOS from a hardware store that had been in business over 100 years. I couldn't bring myself to shave with one, not because I was afraid, but because then it wouldn't be NOS.

    Lovely shave, Joseph. I'm also a fan of Alt-Innsbruck. Where do you purchase the atomizers?

    Thanks for the tip, Paul! Bay Rum is a classic, and I enjoyed it even if The Missus didn't--it would be nice to find one that is acceptable to all parties concerned ;)

    Harrison did die of throat cancer like Davis, Jr. However, GH was much younger at 58.

    Thanks for the info, Joe. It's now on my (admittedly long) short list. So many soaps, so little time :D

    There's no shake and bake in your den, Paul.

    I agree. Those body washes look pretty amazing.

    On this trip, I'm using Stirling bath soap and body lotion. Both products are top notch!

    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PS - Tube 2.0
    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - SS/ASB/ASC - Doppelgänger Grey Label (Homage to Aventus)
    2019 30DC LE w/Omega 10098
    Drew Dick 5/8 Extra Full Hollow

    Started off scrubbing the growth with PAA's Tube 2.0 version of pre-shave soap. It's a black super dense soap, in a large diameter (and incredibly sturdy) lip balm style push up container. Warm water rinse, and on to PAA's CK-6 formula shave soap, which creates an awesome slick thick lather with the @jtspartan 30DC brush handle and Omega boar knot. Acquired this razor from @Keithmax back in June '19, and it's a beauty. Very light wood, thin width blade, and ground as thin as possible. Gorgeous DD handiwork! Blade edge flexes from even the lightest stropping. While shaving, blade feel and flex is unlike any other straight in my den. Audible feedback galore. Takes extreme determination and pressure to make this light razor get the work done, not unlike a very light shavette. 3 passes, DFS+ smooth with no issues, even with 2 passes across the under nose bump which was problematic earlier this week. Quick application of the matching fragrance Star Jelly, then matching aftershave & cologne. Smooth and smelling fine!

    Hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday!

    Thanks Jason! Yes, my oldest daughter is still rehearsing/playing with the Dallas Youth Symphony Orchestra. Practices every Sunday, performance in early Feb and then again mid May.
