    Straight Razor Shave #257
    5/8 Böker King Cutter
    MrEE LE Cashmere Brush
    Music City Suds Lavender SS and AS
    Dickinson's WH and Nivea ASB
    Whiskers: 30 hrs

    Ok, I needed to shave because I have services this evening. Lately, I have been picking up razors that I haven't used in awhile and therefore, King Cutter needed to make an appearance. This brush is the bomb! What a joy to use it because it really makes incredible lathers. The Music City Suds lavender scent is really great! It puts me in such a great mood! It is a nice, smokey masculine scent. The King Cutter is another sharp razor that just impresses me with the buttering toast sound and the ease of cutting my whiskers. Two passes without touchups gave me a BBS shave. Did get a miniscule dot of a weep by the side of my mouth. It was the size of a period on my phone keyboard. It creeped up on me at the end of the shave. Lol! Finished with my usual postshave ritual and ending with a liberal amount of the matching aftershave that reinforces the scent. Have a great afternoon guys! 20210404_160048.jpg

    Happy Easter to all and your family. Today’s shave is a throwback to prior to falling in this rabbit hole. For years, since the mid 90’s till about four years ago, I would shave with this set up of the Merkur 37c, Classic Shaving Silver Blue Badger Brush and the mug (filled with either Williams or the Santa Fe Soap Ranch). The Santa Fe Soap just delivers. It is a hard soap that easy would last a good 9 months of daily shaving. Therefore, I will have this soap for a long time. This brand will always been in the den.

    The usual three pass shave has the face feeling smooth and velveteen. The 37c always delivers.

    On a more somber note: I may be a bit scarce over the next few days. This past Friday, my mother-in-law passed away. She has had health issues for the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, this recent challenge she was not able to conquer.

    Sorry to be a Debbie Downer on Easter. Again, please enjoy time with your family.
