Would that be considered a Freudian slip.

 

Excellent photo.

 

I went to a barber today and got a shave there. He did a pre shave prep using pre shave eucalyptus and menthol oil, hot lather from the machine and then a hot towel. Went through this twice. He then used just the oil and a straight. Got a good shave and nice cut. Had my son with me son he could experience a true barber. All in all a good shave day, even if I didn't shave myself. But I'll be back at it tomorrow!

 

Friday evening, April 3, 2015

Schick E2 Injector with Schick blade (3),
Semogue 1305 boar bristle brush,
lather-up with CRSW Select Puro Fresco - shave one pass -
finish with cold water and Witch Hazel for a CCS!

 

I like the picture!

 

My wife died...ME!

 

I used Obsidian once and could barely see from the tears. Can't take that much menthol happiness.

 

Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Arko Stick
Semogue 1305 Boar Brush
Gillette Fatboy F2
Sputnik Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Arko Stick Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Semogue 1305 Boar HMB Brush. Two passes with my Gillette Fatboy razor and a Sputnik 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 Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I believe you. That soap is like liquid nitrogen on the skin. I nearly did my brother-in-law in one morning.

 

Thanks guys!
(Chris @ RazorPlate does wonderful work!)

 

Thank you very much!

 

For Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Sharp day 6
Stirling Glacial Lavender SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Aramis EdT

My wife said to me before "Jeff, baby that's enough menthol to make a polar bear want to move to Miami!" and she's so right. The Glacial Lavender soap hits you with its frigid power on contact, and gets stronger and stronger while it's on your face. Its lather is so rich and slick as well as fragrant with the wonderful lavender scent which Rod worked so hard on to create. Another thing I love about this soap is the blade glide you get while you're shaving, and the comfortable post-shave sensation you get. If you're the type who has sensitive skin, I highly recommend the Gold Bond moisturizer because it's so cooling and soothing. The Penguin is a great way to feel frozen and fresh afterwards. My Sharp blade looks like it'll last all weekend!

ANOTHER FAT BOY SOTD - Saturday 4/4

Razor: 1958 Rhodium Fat Boy
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (green)
Brush: Strong Set (restored with a Whipped Dog Black Badger knot)
Soap: Proraso Green
AS: Barbasol Pacific Rush

Going "Green" as in the color of tax money! As a CPA I'm advising all TSD members to simplify their taxes this year and use the new IRS XtraEZ-1040 form. It only has 2 lines. The first one says "What did you make?" The second line says "Send it in." (Sorry, we accountant's aren't known for our sense of humor!)

Continuing my Fat Boy love until 4/15. I tried something different today (Good Friday) with terrific results IMHO. I've been using a setting of 9 on my initial WTG pass and then dialing back to 4 or 5 to finish (XTG and/or ATG), with mixed results. So today I set the razor on 5 and left it there. The shave was as smooth as silk! I could feel the blade just sliding along. I did 3 passes (XTG, XTG, ATG) and finished with a wonderful shave. Ended up faceturbating all day!

 

Well no not really. When I got started for the first two weeks I could not stand the CPAP. Now I cannot sleep well without it. So addicted would be the best word, but this is truly a good addiction.

 

Oh no! CPAP RAD?

 

Change it just a bit it becomes CPA PRAD! (Remember to do the Taxes!)

 

You are not just "Whistling Dixie" with that statement

I have been on Cpap/Bi-pap for almost 10yrs now. Best thing that doctor ever did for me was send me for a Sleep Study.
