    Monday again and way too soon. I am not sure why but I always get a good shave with MdC and today was no exception. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. A splash of Fine Lavender and I think I am ready for the busy day ahead. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    Thank you, Clint!
    Doesn't feel quite like spring this morning. 37° with a high in the mid fifties.
    Lovely!

    IMG_4813.jpg I hadn't shaved since Friday morning, so a full 72 hours of growth for this morning's shave. I haven't been active on the thread since Friday morning either. Tried to skim/read late last night to see what everyone had been up to this weekend. Busy with lots of family and house stuff here. I was able to go over to my mom's place yesterday and have a nice coffee and chat on her deck, which is big enough for some distancing.
    I need to find time to get to the lathe room as well. I have a few projects I want to get done, but haven't found a few hours here or there to dedicate.
    Anyway, the shave today was excellent. The Fine whipped up the usual nice lather and I had 3 pleasant passes. This Jaws and Feather is a very nice combo indeed. A few of you may recall I got a bit of shedding issue with this brush a few weeks ago. Dropped 2 more today, but those could have easily been hanging in the knot since last time. Gave it a proper soak and that seems to be the ticket with this Zenith. Only one time I didn't soak it for a good chuck of time, and that was the only day it shedded.
    Finished with the pleasantly scented matching splash, which is a good thing.
    Have a great day all!

    Good morning guys!

    It's Menthol Monday!

    Van der Hagen TTO Razor
    Rockwell DE Blade
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Proraso Green SS and AS
    Nivea ASB

    Ok, I did a headshave last night with the VDH razor so I decided that since it is out just use it. Actually, I was to lazy to change to another razor. Lol!
    The Rocky did it's usual whipping up a nice Proraso lather. The nice, clean smell off the puck while loading the brush really brings me back to days long ago in a barber's chair. The VDH has continued to surprise me for such an economical razor. A two pass shave with cleanup gave me a wonderful BBS shave. The menthol kicked in on my last pass and it really was heavenly. Applied the aftershave and the balm to finish the shave. I still feel the slight tingle on my face and that is definitely a nice pick-me-up. Have a nice day fellas! 20200511_100306.jpg 20200511_100306.jpg
