Christmas Eve

Thursday, December 24, 2015
King Cobra with Triad Aristocrat Ti
Feather Pro Super #3
Varlet Orion
Dusy Kabinett
Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Shea Butter
Chilled Floid Blue Aftershave

My shave today was one of the closest yet from the King Cobra. Loaded with a Feather Pro Super blade, the cobra totally eliminated my stubble. Two passes + clean up = closeness A+ and irritation A. The, made in the USA, Varlet Orion has that full face feel with a ton of backbone. Dusy Kabinett is a luxury soap with a subtle scent. Three hours after shaving my face is still tingling and oh, so smooth. Finished with some very cold Floid Blue. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all! Joy to the Den!

 

I am looking forward to your thoughts on the KC with the Super Pro. Love the Triad handle. It changed the look of the razor.

 

Improved the look but more important it has better balance now.

 

Floid came out the same year as Gabels(32)

 

I've been known to shop on Christmas Eve day

 

Happy Birthday, Clint!

 

Happy Birthday Clint-not a bad time for one, I'd say

 

Merry Christmas, Paul! My favorite color is blue. Size XL.

 

Mark, that's a terrific setup for your Christmas eve shave. Merry Christmas!

 

And a Merry Christmas to you too, Charlie. Blue is a good Christmas color, and for any day as well. My fit size is still L, but I might try on an XL something just to see how it feels.

 

Merry Christmas Herm! How many days until we can stop claiming deductions for 2015? The depreciation expense on my razors alone should be enough to zero out my tax bill.

 

Thank you Charlie! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

 

Thank you both.

 

Been there done that as well. LOL I'm heading to work. We'll see how packed the mall is today. I work right across from it.

December Focus Day 24:

Homemade PS Oil
Stirling Synthetic Brush
Stirling Ben Franklin SS
Ralf Aust 5/8
Stirling Unscented PSB
Stirling Ben Franklin AS

Being Christmas Eve, I went with one of my favorite soaps, Stirling Ben Franklin, and it didn't disappoint. The lather was great, and the scent was better. I managed a decent shave this morning, but not as good as yesterday. I missed a few spots, as I think I let myself get a bit rushed. I also has a little blood on my cheek, and I am still not sure how it happened.

For tomorrow, I am going to break out a special razor, so I am going to take a day off from straights. Then on Saturday, I am going to switch to a straight my wife and kids got me for Father's day last year.
