NOVember - NO Variation

November 10

Razor - Feather SS AC Pain Stick
Blade - (2)
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Aloe

One of those mornings where I got up, grabbed a cup of coffee, drank about half of it, and went back to bed for another hour. So, when I finally stayed vertical I was a bit behind and not really in the mood to mess with a lot. Decided to do a one pass with the Feather this morning and accept the result. Only issue was a slight catch on the cut near my ear but it didn't even bleed, just felt the snag. Finish was CCS with some serious touch up on the neck, but no blood anywhere and it as off to work. Nice to know I can throw down a "good enough" one pass with the razor now even if it doesn't match a quick two pass with DE. Still functional and we're still on track with NOVember. Hope your Tuesday was good.

Another great picture.

 

Thank you Doug. More important, thank you for your service.

 

May all who served be blessed - both in Canada, the US, and our allies throughout the world.

The Lea Menthol cream felt so wonderful - so cold with tons of rich lather, the Diana balm froze me more, and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel is another great iceberg. This shave was awesome!

 

One thing I've learned so far from my No Shave November is that I can see the grain of the whiskers on my neck much more easily now. The hairs grow diagonally down from my chin on each side, and there is a cowlick right on my adams apple.

As an aftershave junkie I really like Chiesled Face, it's not just alcohol. It feels really good, healing. The soap is very nice.
Go out and get it!

 

Thank you, it was a mess when I got it, rust marks, oxidized, but she cleaned up nice and if I remember with shipping it was less than 8 bucks.

 

Thank you to the men and women who have and are serving our country.

today's shave was nice. the woody doesn't stink nearly as badly, but hasn't splayed much. the star is mildly efficient,I got a nice shave with three passes. finished with sandalo.

The Vulix brush is pretty small but produced abundant lather with the Williams. The Plat Plus blade is very smooth and comfortable. What does all that mean? I got a great shave, that's what. Now go enjoy your day folks.
