Mighty fine shave today.

Gillette Parat
Voskhod
Dridecker Brush

Another quickie today, but still had time for 3 passes. Soap was nice, took me a while to build a good lather but I suspect that had more to do with the brush. That scent is really nice for this time of year. I think I'm going to hit up a few DE's I've been missing over the next week, then go back to the shavette until my affairs get "straightened" out.

From the only Rush Album not featuring Neil Peart, but this one is a classic...

get up at seven, yeah,
And I go to work at nine.
I got no time for livin'.
Yes, I'm workin' all the time.

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am.
I guess that's why they call me,
They call me the workin' man.

They call me the workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.
So I get home at five o'clock,
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer.
Always seem to be wond'rin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here.

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am.
I guess that's why they call me,
They call me the workin' man.

They call me the workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.

Well they call me the workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.

Exactly my thoughts!
I sorta / kinda wish that the R-41 had been my first razor, but then again, if it were, I would not be able to appreciate it as much as I do!

 

Love that band! Saw them 6 times in the 70's.

-got the razor from Frank-my barber. Called it his work horse. He says he used to shave my neck with it when I was 8. Very cool.

 

Friday's shave

Decided to go easy, two passes only, still a DFS to my surprise.

That's All I did today, nothing fancy. I think I'm in love with that Best Badger brush though.

Edit: I forgot to put the soap I used, so I fixed it.

 

Any soap with that?

 

Ack! I used Tabac soap today. I'll have to fix that!
