    Nice shave Paul. I love Oud so I will definitely have to check out the Agadir product line.

    Fantastic progress over the last two years. I can relate to the wonderful feeling of accomplishment you are experiencing with this renewed life style. I am down to 175 lbs from 216 lbs in April of 2019. I have stabilized the weight but continue to lower the Body Fat. Keep on, keeping on Charlie! This feeling of improved movement and overall health is well worth the sacrifices you have made to get to this point.

    Thanks Bruce. More Tabac and less Tabacon has helped tremendously. :D

    SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

    Excellent lime shave this morning! I’m a very basic scent guy - lime, spice, peppermint and sandalwood are about all these barbarian nostrils of mine are capable of discerning. SWMBO never complains about lime or peppermint. So that’s really all I use, and I do it sparingly due to her fragrance allergy. My son’s straight razor collection (well over 100) consists of 80% Japanese, 10% Engstrom and Filarmonica, and the last 10% Reynolds, Rogers, and assorted other early UK makers (Bengall?). He helped me pick the NOS Diamond Hayashi 6/8 razor I shaved with this morning, and honed it for me exclusively on jnats. The model is called a Nigiri Tokusen (2 finger opening). If there’s such a thing as melting whiskers, that’s what I experienced. One very minor tremor-related ear nick, but otherwise a wonderful extremely close mug shave. I skipped the dome shave this morning. I find myself continually feeling my face, amazed at the closeness of this shave.

    RAZOR: NOS Diamond Hayashi 6/8 (Nigiri Tokusen Model)
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute w/ 26mm Two Band Badger Ferrule
    CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Pre de Provence Balm.

    Awesome shave Jeff. Geez, 100 straights! I am an amateur compared to your son with just 19 in my collection. Is that razor stand a Jayaruh production?

    Stair-climbing!!! I might try that again at the gym. I sometimes get annoyed with that one, as I find myself climbing faster than the machine asks me to.

    "Blooming" a hard soap. From what I gather it is adding water, letting it sit, then draining of the "sludge" to lather up. Correct?
    Well if I find another word other than sludge, that should save me some money, cuz I'm running out of pre shave stuff.
    How 'bout we call it "Residual Fragrance Water", or or "Pre-shave Marinade"?
