SoS: March 2, 2015 - March 8, 2015

His answer is "What brush?". He's too busy drinking to notice. LOL. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

 

Lucky tiger bay rum?

 

Wonderful picture!

 

Nah, I got a sample of the original:

 

How's the scent?

 

It's a rather subtle scent. I'm not even sure I could describe it. Maaaaaybe some citrus but it all fades really quickly.
It's very much like Provence Sante to me - non-alcohol, faint scent but with great face moisturizing.

 

Provence Sante doesn't tell me anything =P

But it sounds like a nice product =)

 

pre: Dalan Dahlia oil glycerin Soap
brush: Semogue 1800
soap: Le Pere Lucien Traditionel
razor: Muhle R41
blade: Voskhod (1)
after: Pino Silvestre AS



Looks like a pine cone, smells like a pine cone...but better, much much better!

Saturday's


Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap
Jayaruh CH2 Pure Badger
GEM 1912
GEM Super Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

This is the fourth shave in the hospital: same setup.

The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh CH2 Pure Badger Travel Brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 SE razor and a GEM Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday's SimpleSimon SOTD
FRIDAY THEME - FRAMED

Prep - Hot shower with Tesori D'Oriente Kashmir Sandalwood and Vetiver
Razor - Merkur 34C HD
Blade - Gillette SilverBlue on 5th shave
Brush - Omega 80265 Boar
Soap - QCS "Queen Charlotte"
Balm - QCS "Vetiver"

QCS is working out very well.


I also received today some Personnas to compare whether the med preps are better than the standards. I was pleasantly surprised to see the meds are made in ol' Virginny.

 

Friday evening, March 6, 2015

Schick E2 Injector with Schick blade (1),
Semogue 1305 boar bristle brush,
lather-up with MWF – shave 1 pass,
finish with cold water, Witch Hazel
and Pinaud Bay Rum for a CCS!

 

For Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 6
Synergy Frost_byte SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Fahrenheit EdT

This is so funny - my wife opened the container of my Frost_byte soap, sniffed it, and started sneezing, then she said to me, "Babe, how can you shave with something that smells so strong?" My answer to her was, "Because I love it!" Yes, I'll admit that this soap has a strong eucalyptus/peppermint/menthol scent but I actually find it to be very pleasant now, and the lather builds so easily. As I've also stated, the menthol sensation is so powerful that it ranks a close second to my Glacial soaps. The Gold Bond moisturizer can almost be considered to be a face-freezer, and the Penguin is very well-named because it's so cold. Today's shave was really BBS, so let's see how I do tomorrow.

Have a great weekend, folks!

That sir, is a great shot! How did you get the "wallpaper" on the table? Nice composition with the clock on the brush. Very cool! Also thanks for not showing the contents of the soap container.

 

Thanks! I appreciate the complement.

This is specialty art paper simply pinned with rolled tape underneath.

When I took this I quickly became concerned that this one will be hard for me to exceed in the future.

 

Great picture!

 

One more thing. That Alan Parsons project video about "Time" and to the sea. I had today, just converted my underwater slides over to disk, from the 80s. Brought back a lot of great memories. And I spent 2 weeks riding those Mantra Rays in 86, 200 miles off the coast of Cabo. Time................
