    Thank you, Steve!

    But, as I told Matt, it is just out of luck: I never got along with cameras...

    A great colors matching, Matt!
    Did you buy the razor after the brush?

    In Rome it rains and here it is sunny: yet another abuse of the Government!

    I fell back on Arctic Tundra because I didn't feel like choosing and this is good, olfactory awkward and it was right up there!
    And the AS is quite soothing.

    The 39 C is really gentle thanks to the blade as well.

    Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day getting out of the sun...

    I acquired the razor after the brush, but it wasn't related. I was collecting all 3 colors of the Enders Speeds, and the yellow one was elusive. Ultimately I received it as a gift from a fellow wet shaver.

    Menthol Monday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger
    Gillette Super 109, O4
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Super 109 razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Schick
    Master Soap Creations Citrus Melody SS
    Prep ASB
    B&M Arctique AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    My first time using this Citrus Melody and I think it’s a magnificent soap just like the others from Master Soap Creations so to me Fernando is a true soap genius. The scent is very citrusy and beautiful - the main notes are orange and even more lemon, the lather is so rich, thick, and thanks to the tallow formula it has lots of slickness, there’s plenty of menthol in it, and the skincare is excellent. The Prep and the Arctique soothed and froze my skin beautifully. The brand name Schick blade helped to give me a perfect BBS shave which was so enjoyable!

    Have a great week - be well and safe!

    Shave of the Week Starting 8 March 2021

    Razor - Weber DLC
    Blade - Daxton Stainless or Gillette Wilkinson
    Brush - JR #85
    Cream - C.O. Bigelow
    Post Care - Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    A/S - whatever I want each day

    I had tried the Daxton blades before and wasn't terribly impressed. But, the blades now have new packaging so I just knew there would be a difference. Was there? Not really, the first few strokes were a bit tuggy like before but then it suddenly smoothed out and gave a right decent shave. Easily DFS since I don't shoot for BBS any longer. I have the Wilkinson blades on standby just in case. Overall, a fine shave and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks. Don't know if I will cuz gotta clean the chicken coop. UGH

    SOTD MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 2021

    I don't know what it is about my C-Mon Special, but it truly loves to belt out the “Buttering Toast” refrain while working! As one of the seven favorite straight razors brought on this trip, it easily held up its rep as the loudest. Three slow, luxurious passes left my mug as smooth as my great granddaughter’s butt! The SS Supply V2 easily held up its end leaving me with a porcelain smooth noggin after two bloodless ATG passes. I feel clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth.

    RAZOR: C-Mon Special 11/16 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
    BLADE: Schick Injector II Twin
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handled Hybrid Knot #007
    CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature AS Balm.
