May 11, 2020 Wolfman WR-1 OC Feather Thäter 4125/3 MdC Original Fine Lavender Pour Homme 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!
We are a little better with 46 this morning and highs in the mid 60s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 11th RR .68 GameChanger Jaws w Feather (2) Zenith boar/ Resin&Maple Fine American Blend combo Thayers 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!
May 11 SOTD 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!
