Awesomeness Jim! That brush is just mesmerizing. There was a lot of work put into that beauty. Enjoy and I want to see more of it.
Well, shux...any doubt that I may have had that today is Friday the 13th was erased by my shave. I was closing out the "back-to-back set" of Clubman shave cream and Clubman Original A.S. The shave cream came out like a squiggly Copperhead again, which didn't surprise me but it a bit annoying. I think from now on I'll hold it under warm/hot tap water as I fill the sink. For some reason, that seems to thicken the cream. A nasty cut developed at its usual place-South Porcupine Alley. was probably going too fast with the razor(a clown no-no), but the thin shave cream could well have contributed, too. Since it came early, it threw me off stride for the remainder of the shave. I had already swept through my facial areas, so at least THAT was ok. I missed a section of Cactus Nation, too(but I got the sides fine). Thankfully, the Clubman A.S. made me feel much better(course it always does). Pretty Excellent.... I will try to have a better shave for the next Friday/13th As for the Clubman shave cream-it's Dunkin Tapwater time.
Only thing missing with that meal is some BUTTER MILK. Your shave setup looks Awesome. Sent from my iPhoneXR using Tapatalk
SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 2020 Superstitious sorts might be a bit Leary of a sharp edged single blade shave on Friday the thirteenth, but my shave was just awesome. The Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 is easily my favorite straight razor as well as being one of my oldest razors. There’s something about Sheffield cast steel razors, but this one shaves like a dream. My dome shave was every bit as good. The Colonial General V2 never lets me down. I feel cool, clean and velveteen! RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 Sheffield Cast Steel (Mug), Colonial General V2 (Dome) BLADE: Feather Super AC PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: JR Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Osage Rub.
That's what I did this morning, Danny(that led to the cut). That Clubman shave cream is real good and deserves better treatment than I gave it. It's goin' under the tap next time. I hate snakes.
