Thanks Charlie!

 

Thanks Doug!

 

Why is it every time I see an MdC Brain bowl, I get a craving for vanilla ice cream?

 

Great photo. I am so tempted to get the MdC Brain Bowl.

 

With the strong dollar vs the Euro, the Brain Bowl has never been more affordable.

 

In the Brain Bowl is multitude of (ice-) creamy lather goodness...

Back with the Gillette New LC again, and I'm looking forward to another good shave with it. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Looks good and I'm really liking the longer comb. The Ever-Ready badger whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug. Nice grapefruit scent from the TOBS. First pass was very close, and the razor sang a nice tune to let me know how it was going. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB balm. Finished up with some Vintage Shulton Old Spice. Very nice razor, great feedback and always Dreaming of a that perfect shave.

 

Fully Fougére Friday
Today was my first use of B&M Fougére Classique aftershave, and I chose to pair it with B&M Fougére Imperiale. The scents work great together - the aftershave has a lemony, earthy scent to me, but I am not very good at describing scents. The shave overall was excellent - my face feels great.
