January - Route 66 month

Clint, I was thanking you for the first comment-I'm not sure the second one was meant for me.

 

dogs like to be driven around in golf carts-I only wish I could have done that when I visited the animal shelter in Utah. But I did have the extreme pleasure of taking a cat on a "wheel-barrel walk".

 

Wow 63*F. Wouldn't that be nice. I'll start packing the car. What's your address?

 

Great photo Doug. You are the master of winter photos.

Just Cruel.

 

Day Six



Have a sweet Saturday!
☺

You also Chris. Good photo with excellent products.

 

Great picture with a great looking razor and brush combination. Twisted Tweed is a winner.

 

Thank you Doug. Twisted Tweed is a winner. I really like enjoy the scent and we all know how well the soap works.

 

Hello everyone.

My third shave this January:



- Route 66 "A Perfect Gent"
- Frank Shaving Finest 22mm
- Shūsui Yazuki Steel
- CHH Tobacco Aftershave

I hadn't shaved in four days, so there was quite a bit of stubble to remove. No problems creating a fine lather with the FS brush. Very nice soap performance (as usual) - the scent is a bit stronger than "Ghost Town", really pleasant - sort of cologney-ish. Two passes with the fantastic Japanese razor and my face is smooth again

 

Not me yet, but you can presumably add me to the " we all" soon .

 

I finished the Route 66 Ghost Town sample today. This one will go on my wish list for a full tub. Very nice scent and usual great performance.

Blade: Kai Captain Mild
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: Vie Long horse hair/synthetic blend
Lather: Route 66 Cavendish
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Fine American Blend, Nivea sensitive balm
XTG, touch-up

Went back to Cavendish today. Whipped up some great lather as normal. Needed to add some water to the tips as I face lathered more than most other shaves. But that's okay. Each day is different. I took a tip from @clint64 about going XTG on the first pass with this style of razor. So I did so and really enjoyed the result! My upper face is quite smooth for one pass with touch-up. Did some touch-up on my neck and jaw line and came away with a great shave.

The Cavendish has a few more shaves left and then I'll change samples. I enjoy seeing everyone's Route 66 shaves. Great soap!

 

I love that scent as well - but I don't see it on the website any more. Paging @Salty Belle ... is Ghost Town gone for good?

 

Nooooo

 

Great setup and picture Brian.

 

Thank you Doug. Keep warm.

 

Will do, my friend.

 

Hmmm...it sold out during my July clearance sale and I didn't have plans to restock it. It wasn't selling particularly well. Now you guys tell me . Just kidding. If I get enough requests I can do a limited edition restock.

 

Is the Rte 66 Ghost Town similar to CF's Ghost Town Barber in any way?(That is, in more than name).
