  1. Excellent shave Jeff! I like the way your son incrementally prompts you into honing your razors. He did a great job doing so introducing you to straights.

  2. Yes indeed! It is a horror especially during summertime. Next time you are out that way, it would be great if Joe C and I could have a get together with you. I'll bring Mad Max!

  4. Yeah, he’s a clever sod! When I started complaining that he wasn’t maintaining my razors as he promised, he smiled and delivered the stones the next day! Oh, he also included a paddle strop, which I failed to mention in my shave post. I was always complaining about the arthritis in my shoulders that made a regular strop a problem. With this one I can sit down to perform razor maintenance. You were right, I’m slowly sliding down the straight razor hole. :angry017:

    Boar Month - Shave #13

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: C V Heljestrand 14. 7/8” Camel Bone Scales
    Brush: Jayaruh 329 Boar
    Lather: Barrister & Mann Nordost
    Aftershave: B & M Nordost
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    You know you pick a great product to shave with when the missus responds positively to the scent. She is a big fan of citrus type scents. The smoked Orange of the B & M Nordost got her good this morning. A lot of ooh’s and ah’s, love this and use it again type comments.

    Prior to my shower and wonderful shave, I tortured myself with my X3Bar Push workout. The humidity factor did not help
    my cause but the split legs squats left me gasping for air as I crumbled to the ground. Still not to shabby for a 61 year old senior citizen, although I do not feel like one.

    Regarding the shave, I did my usual three shave. The razor, obtained from @gsixxgun last year continues to deliver close and comfortable shaves. My face is smooth without any irritation. The alum was noticeably silent.
    Have a great day gentlemen, stay cool

  17. Not sure about the improvement of the traffic pattern. It took two hours to get out and two and a half to get back. I live in Miller Place which is about 5 miles east of Port Jefferson. Montauk is approximately 70 miles from my house. We did have a nice time.
