    I meant are you Fitzgeralding it. I just like to be linguistically creative. I like to shorten words or use other ones. Fitzing will be my term to kill the soap.

    OK, I guess my riddle on guessing today's shave setup was a little challenging.

    Once again, here are the clues:


    1. Post numbers 53, 62 and 72 have the necessary info to help solve the riddle.
    2. The setup is color coordinated and I am using one of the items pictured.
    3. I am using a different seasonal soap.

    Clues 2 and 3 should have narrowed it down to the Gold handled Mr. EE brush and the gold trimmed labeled Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh. Remember, I stated that I only have 3 seasonal Stirling soaps, Christmas Eve, Spice, and Frankincense and Myrrh. Obviously Gold was the color theme that I was looking for and if you got the Mr. EE brush then if you looked at the labeled pics of my remaining 2 seasonal soaps, you would of picked F and H.
    Now picking the brand of razors, in post 72, I said that I may use one of my Dovo's or my 2 big straights or something else. My two big straights have blue handles so it would not fit the color motif. I have yellow C-Mon razors that would fit the color match, but I decided to go for my Dovo because it is alliterative with Dec.
    I didn't expect anyone to guess which of my two Dovos, but I picked the Dovi Special because it has the gold letting on the blade and the faux tortoise handle that compliments the gold. My other Dovo wouldn't work because it has a white handle. That's the answer to my riddle. Setup pic will be shown when I post my shave.

    Good afternoon!

    20211203_181032.jpg

    Straight Shave #318
    5/8 Dovo Special
    Mr EE Tuxedo Brush
    Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh SS and AS
    Maggard's Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 46 hrs

    I have been recently shaving with hot water and I decided to continue to do so for this shave. I foamed my soap and used the bloom water as a preshave. Mr EE has a nice backbone and it produced a creamier lather thab I normally get which I attribute to using hot water.
    I haven't used my Dovo Special straight since Sept 8. Last night, I checked the edge and it was treetopping the hairs on my arm. Needless to say, I knew this razor was sharp. It mowed down 2 days growth without a problem. I was done after one pass, but I am a 2 passer. Finished the shave and it was really a close, comfortable shave without any drama. Alum application was smooth as ice. I went to put on the witch hazel and notice a small, tiny fly in it so it was tossed. There was very little left so I was going to have to get a replacement anyway and that is why it is not on today's setup list. Splashed on the matching aftershave and I am good to go. Take Care.

    Roseanne is another of Johnny's "kids". Sings a mean tune. Plays a mean C&W style guitar.

    That's true. However, the usual reference for my old man is the husband and that's how interpret that idiom, hence I corrected you with my June Carter response.

    Decided to do away with the goatee in favor of the soul patch I usually have sported in recent years and the Alpha Outlaw felt like the right non clogging DE for the job. Worked as expected. BIC, MDC.[​IMG]
