    Troy M Prep: Mephitis mephitis musk

    With 4 days left in OCtober and snow predicted in Colorado this weekend, I've decided to start my winter beard. Today I used the Blackbird to shave my scalp and neck and in a few days will start on the upper cheeks. 2 easy passes on my scalp and 1 on my neck gave me acceptable results all around.
    Prep: Shower
    Lather: Arko
    Brush: RR Plissoft
    Razor: Blackland Blackbird
    Blade: Personna (2ish)
    Post: Cool rinse and alum (my phone rang, so I took the call and forgot to use aftershave)

    I corrected my post. "Did a 3 pass shave that gave me a near BBS shave without any bloodshed. This razor is much more aggressive than my I-1 so I really needed to be light on my touch. Still, I got a slight irritation on my neck, but it was in a small area." Redundancy should not be tolerated. Thanks Joe.

    Thanks Chris. I am only ambidextrous when I shave. I am not a switch hitter and I throw with my right hand. I also write with my right hand.

    Thank you Gary...Meddle is an album that I always over look. It was the album that David Gilmour & Richard Wright started to get some recognition, which Mr. Waters didn't like.

    two of my favourites.

    David & Richard's last live performance together.

    Razor: Double Duck Twin Duck Special #1
    Brush: Shore Shave Creamsicle Swirl 24 mm White Synthetic
    Lather: Barrister & Mann Nordost
    Aftershave: B & M Nordost
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    Given the warm weather we have been having here on LI I decided to go with the wonderful smoked citrus scent of B & M Nordost. The added bonus is that the missus loves the citrus scent.

    Normally I do not use the same straight consecutively unless it is during the Gemini shaves of the month of June. The razor just called to me for color coordination purposes.

    The usual three passes for shave Nirvana. Super smooth and irritation free. Can not get any better that this.

    Later this afternoon I may do a dome shave as I have a Halloween party to attend this evening. I may go as the Mr.Clean man or Uncle Fester.

    Have a great Saturday gentlemen.

    Much better shave this morning than yesterday. Doc Ezlovan and his team at Stoylin really do great work. This was my first go with his Agar. Nice Oud Wood dupe. Clean and cleasr all around, save for a small section at the jawline. I encountered a speed bump there and a cut developed. Not bad one, but couldn't be ignored. 2 passes. The Agadir aftershave works well with Agar shave soap. Closed out with AB Millionaire cologne. Super Duper Outstanding.
