    Good morning.

    Shavette Shave #457
    Wilkinson Sword 1/2 DE Blade (fresh)
    JR #290 Cashmere Brush
    Cella SS
    Old Spice AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 36 hrs

    I decided to shave this morning so that I look clean for my picnic with my single's group this afternoon. I need to do my cardio and pick some stuff up before I head out so it was important to get the shave done at this time. Last minute, I decided to do a headshave because I made enough lather as you can see here:

    I used my Mühle R102 to shave my 2 days growth with a second use of a Wilkinson Sword Blade. Again, I didn't include it in my setup because it was an afterthought.

    Anyway, 2 passes on my face and dome gave me a BBS shave without any errors. The alum was silent so it definitely was a comfortable shave. The Old Spice splashed on my face and head was the cherry on top for this session. Stay safe today.

    Razor: Target Generic Cartridge
    Brush: Ever Ready 200T
    Lather: Lather Bros. Calle Ocho
    Aftershave: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum

    Final Travel Shave-Another nice lather provided by the 200T and the Calle Ocho. A very close and comfortable shave, however, I know by early afternoon the stubble will reappear earlier than I am accustomed to. No big deal. Tomorrow’s shave with the Double Duck Goldedge will set everything right.

    Those of you in the US of A enjoy your Memorial Day. Hopefully, the weather will be cooperative for the unofficial start of Summer.

    Everyone, have a wonderful day.

    I like the decision I made yesterday pertaining to Hub City's PAGES product. Pasteur's Pharmacy had the aftershave on sale(Mem. Day). so I bought it. Later in the year I want to get the soap, but I'll order that directly from Hub City Soaps. This way I can test out the scent, so as to be ready to make the soap purchase.

    Very pleased with my shave this morning. Closed out(until next time) the

    prep-Dove Men Care(or whatever the name is lol)bodywash(in shower)
    .shave-Stoylin Shep soap
    brush-Stoylin li'l brudder
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer

    and the only negative issue was a cut at N.W. Porcupine Alley. It was worse at the beginning than it turned out in the end, but it still remains. Clearly the best shave of the three days with this group. 2 passes. Super Duper Outstanding.

    After a good deep clean. She looks good. Honestly for the condition she is in it was practically a steal for 10 bucks. Could have easily paid 70 dollars for one in this condition on eBay.
