    Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
    Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (5)
    Brush: Simpson CH2 synthetic
    Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
    Soap: Stirling Boat Drinks
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    Stirling mentholated balm
    AS: Stirling Boat Drinks

    Good morning!

    Fantastic shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Light tickle from the alum.

    Stirling Boat Drinks today. Strong sweet candy like banana dominates the scent off the puck which lightens and allows the other scents to peak out but just barely. The aftershave though is excellent. The tangerine is the major player with the other scents lending support. I see this getting regular use during the warmer months.

    Have a great day!

  4. Lovely shave pic and report, Jim! I’m starting to think there’s a Simpson Chubby 2 Synth club in the crew! :D

  5. Tim- I guess sometimes the blade has it’s own plan. I admire your persistence. Hope you had a great day otherwise.

    Regarding your son, there will be a day when instead of distracting you he will be assisting you. My son, soon to be 10, will occasionally whip up the lather for me. All part of his learning process since eventually he is going to inherit all the hardware.
  6. Thank you, Jeff!

    There is a Chub Club. @clint64 is the president. We even have a secret handshake.

    Wednesday already. This week is going by fast. Maybe too fast for me since I still have so much to get done. The soap destroyer loaded and lathered the TOBS soap with ease. My wife brought the TOBS Sandalwood Herbal soap back from her business trip to London. She actually took the time to go by the TOBS store which makes the gifts even more special. I really like the scent of this soap with its top notes of a fougere over a sandalwood base. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near BBS shave. I avoided the nick from yesterday. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
  20. Great shave and beautiful picture, Clint!
