    Good afternoon guys!

    GE Jones Shake Sharp Razor
    2 Rockwell DE blades (3?)
    Heritage Collection/ C-Mon Replica SHD Badger Brush
    Stirling Blood on Steel 2019 LE (Tsuka) SS and AS
    Maggard's Alum Block
    Dickinson's WH
    Whiskers: 30 hrs

    I am getting ready for services this evening so I decided to get out the Stirling BoS SS because the scent just puts me in a happy place. The C-mon brush is my 1-A favorite and I use it mostly to paint my lather. It made a nice, wet, slick lather while the scent became more pronounced.
    I mainly use the Shake Sharp for headshave, but decided to faceshave with it today. I did a 3 pass shave and did get a BBS shave, but got a tiny weep smack dab in the middle of my chin. The cold water with alum took care of it. I think the 2 blades are at the end of the cycle because there was a little bit of tugging and maybe that caused the tiny weep. I willl see when I use it again for my next headshave if I have to change the blades. I have to admit that I should use this razor more often for faceshaves instead of just relegating it to headshaves. It really does an awesome job.
    I had some feedback from the alum so that it may just reinforce the notion that I should just change out the blades before the next shave. Applied the witch hazel and subsequently the generous portion of this glorious juice. I practically bathed in it. Lol! Have a great afternoon guys!

    Probably the one I went to and got the free week trial. I'm still confused about if there's going to be one at the old Gold's location. Thanks for the shave compliment...much better than yesterday.

    Yes there is, it’s Lanolin, pronounced Lâ-nō-‘keen.

    Oh, well that's interesting. Only reason I brought that up is it was called "Lanolin" in the translation.

    Razor: Drew Dick 7/8” Half Hollow Damascus
    Brush: Wolf Whiskers 24 mm Maggard Tux Synthetic
    Lather: Barrister & Mann Nordost
    Aftershave: B & M Nordost
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel
    Nivea Cool Balm

    Another citrus scented shave this morning. The B & M Nordost is a nice citrus scent with a smoky side. Just fabulous! Couple with the Drew Dick a extremely close three pass shave we on the order for the day.

    Tomorrow, one week until I have a date with the surgeon, will be more of the same s last week. Chores bd more chores than need to be done before the surgery. The shave will continue with the focus on the JustOneJuly Soap Weekdays.

    Have a great day gentlemen.
