    Razor: Schick N1
    Blade: Twin Schick (4)
    Brush: Stirling Synthetic
    Soap: Ariana & Evans NYC
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Ariana & Evans NYC
    Fragrance: Penhaligon's Lothair

    VARIETY is baaaaaaaack ! YES !! Chose the NYC for today which is a nice scent and some cool artwork as well on the tub. I have to say that it feels like cheating when using an Injector razor and I have to wonder if I had started with them, would i have ever tried anything else. Why did they not continue to be produced by Schick or Eversharp. We seem to always fall victim to the new mousetrap and desire better when best may have been these razors. Just a mindless and close shave that would rival any modern day Stainless Steel art designed razor. Maybe not it appearance an coolness factor, but definitely in what the tool was supposed to produce. Maybe I'll sell ALL my razors except the injectors......................Nah, I like the history and the different "tools" but today's shave had me wondering if I could have just 1 razor for the rest of my life, would I pick for function or cool factor? Which would I choose?...................Okay, let's shake off those crazy and rational thoughts and get some coffee and something sweet to go with it. Have a "Stupid Fun Day" today Guys it's Thursday, my Friday !!

    Razor: Puma 65
    Brush: Ever Ready 200T
    Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux Lamplight Penance
    Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Lamplight Penance Toner
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel

    It is time to play catch up. I left my phone at work Tuesday which has resulted in being at least 400 post behind as some point yesterday. I am sure I have missed a few great shaves but I will see them all between now and the end of today.

    This morning’s shave was nothing less than phenomenal. I do not reach for the DG/CL Lamplight Penance for no other reason than I have too much in the den. I enjoy it every time I break it out. I will be smelling and feeling good all day as this scent/toner is “long winded”. Super smooth three passes with the Puma 65.

    Now it is time to get out the door to hang with the Yutes. Have a great day gentlemen.

    I hope this bit of info helps ease your mind about your coffee reduction. Cutting back on coffee (caffeine) will also greatly improve your blood pressure. It did for me. After I was hospitalized 5 years ago for high BP, I basically cut out coffee from my routine. I do still have a cup of coffee occasionally though (especially now lately as my new daily routine has required).

    I switched to British black tea instead. I’ve tried many brands, and look for the most robust, and I am currently liking Welch Brew. It’s got a strong malty flavor that can take milk and sugar. Another I keep in rotation in the morning is Thompson’s Irish Breakfast Tea. During the day, I like Yorkshire Red and Builders Tea. All of them are available on Amazon. Don’t bother with teas you see in our local grocery stores (although Publix does carry Yorkshire Red). Look for the boxes that are in the 80 bag packs. The bags are bigger than the typical “herbal tea” sized bags we find in the grocery stores here.

    I’m sure Barry @palmolive fox can offer advice on this subject too.

    Thank you Andrew. I’ll look into the teas. Swati is a big tea drinker and has quite a variety of English and Irish teas.

    Happy Thursday everyone. I am up and moving this morning which I will take as a huge positive. I am behind on work with one client in particular so I have a rough day ahead. I know it's not Friday but I decided to go with the Fat today. I was lazy and the Fat was on the counter. The Omega Evo is fantastic brush and did a wonderful job loading and lathering the Fat. Three passes and touch ups with the iKon caught the baby. The OSS is a mild razor but if I do my part it is efficient. A splash of Green Vetiver and I am off to work with fingers crossed it will be a productive day.

    Thank you Dave. I just leave the Fat on my vanity counter all the time.

    Thank you Joe. I will most likely repeat for tomorrow. The Fat is already over a 1/3 gone.
