Great looking shave, Keith!

 

Great shave, Joe! Your photo staging was spot on!

 

Thanks, Doug! Much appreciated!

 

Nice shave, Barry! I like the drug store setup.

 

Awesome shave setup and photo, Gary!

 

All the best, Perry! I see you in the FB SERF group! Stay safe and healthy!

 

Thanks, Clint!

 

Stellar setup and photo, Jim! I like the shape of the ChubCub.

 

Well if you see the need, I promise not to pick the closet lock.
Seriously though, that's great the bookings have stayed full.

 

Great shave setups and summary, Matthew!

 

Terrific shave lineup, Joe! Sounds like you have a fun day ahead. Enjoy!

 

Nice looking shave setup, Jeff! How is the LT Aspen aftershave? Similar to Aqua Velva's scent?

 

Me too. My aftershaves fit on a 30" x 12" shelf, so they don't take up much room.

 

@Droo78 Thanks, Andrew! No, it's nothing like AV. It has its own unique scent which does dissipate quickly. I like to use it because it was my Father’s regular AS, and I remember my old childhood barber sloshing it on me. It’s very old school. Most younger folks I know who’ve tried it didn’t like it. Just a sentimental affectation on my part.

 

Thank you Evan.

 

NOVember

Barrister and Mann~~Rubberset 400/3~~Detroit National Cut. Co.~~Dominica Lime Bay Rum
No variation November continues and the Bay Rum keeps on truckin'.
I went for a thicker and gooier lather today and even did a major, albeit unnecessary bloom of the B&M.
Results were that the Rubberset picked up significantly more product and necessitated adding more H2O.

The above picture fails to reflect the actual shininess the lather acquired.
Once again, my rule razor was only stropped and shows no sign of needing a refreshing.
Bloodshed was avoided as a DFS+++ shave was achieved.
The Bay Rum aftershave was the iconic and sadly unavailable Dominica.
This juice has a lime element.
You have to wonder whether we, in our lifetimes, will see a return of the Caribbean Bay Rum industry?​

 

Danny, I don't remember the post to which I commented. But I'm sure I'd put on some Clubman, unless I was ...er...."advised" not to.

Good morning guys!

Rockwell Model T (6)
Rockwell DE Blade (?)
JR #290 Synthetic Brush
Music City Suds Lavender and Ever Amen Shave Soap and Aftershave
Nivea for Men ASB (not pictured)
Whiskers: 40 hours

This above-the-shoulder shave is dedicated @Hembree, Danny and @myles wilson, Myles.
The JR #290 really does a fantastic job in lathering soaps. I drenched the brush with very little shake and got a nice creamy lather. Of course, I had to add more soap to thicken the consistency, but it really is a quick way to get a rich lather for me. The MCS Lavender has such an awesome scent that I like to smell the puck on days that I don't use it for aromatherapy.

The Rocky T is more aggressive than the 6C and always gives me an excellent shave. Today's shave was no exception. Two passes on the face and head with touchups gave me a BBS shave! I got a weep under my chin and hit it with the pen to blot it out. Applied Nivea aftershave balm and then the matching aftershave to finish this morning's ritual. Have a super Saturday gents!

 

Thanks, gentlemen!
