If it's the right musicians, I don't need much coaxing. LOL These 2 guys really like playing with me. I am basic rhythm but these 2 can play the breaks. One is banjo and the other a fellow guitarist who I have learned a few things musically from. He knows theory and is a good teacher. He is mid 70's in age. He had me finger-pick Doc Watson's "Deep River Blues" while he sang it and played rhythm. I needed the practice with my finger-picking.

Of course Doc plays it much better than I do

Greetings,

An enjoyable fantastic shave to finish my shaving week off in style.

Second use of the Lea Classic Cream since it was kindly gifted to me providing a wonderful slick protective lather with no drying out issues.

The sandalwood scent is different comparing it to the Proraso sandalwood scent it's more of a light fresh sweet scent to my nose with a nice mild menthol kick feels cooling which is perfect for summer and pairs together well with the Floid ASL.

Throughout the month i've had some fantastic shaves with both my vintage & modern SE razors. Today was no exception...The Schick Japanese Twin are an amazing blade, on it's 7th outing it still feels smooth & efficient with no indication of dulling in the slightest..

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy your day Ladies & Gentlemen.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Pharoah's Dreamsicle
Jayaruh #30
Gillette Double Ring 1905
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Pharoah's Dreamsicle AS

The Pharoah's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with Gillette Double Ring Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharoah's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks so much Gary!

This Tech is one helluva great DE. I admit that it’s mild but it’s so efficient!

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 9
Palmolive Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Although I’ve become mainly a soap user since 2012 there are still certain creams that I love and the Italian version of Palmolive Menthol is one of them. This cream has a most delightful minty green scent with the typically fantastic Palmolive lather, the menthol sensation is so nice, and the skincare is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were such a perfect finish. Two passes were enough for a fabulous BBS shave which was so pleasurable!

Have a good day - be well and safe!
