Oct 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus

Today, I decided to go DE while I let my epidermis regenerate after yesterday's overly ambitious straight shave. In between shave reviews I decided to try a couple of soaps to "thin out" the den. I pitted Stirling Almond Creme against Cella and Razorock Classic. Since they all have the same scent, I figured the second two would end up on the trading block. As expected, the Razorock was a good all around soap, but the scent strength was low and I find the performance "average" so it missed the cut. Cella, however, surprised me. There is a reason this soap has been around for over 100 years with no change to the formula. Good scent, whips up lather like a champ, good slickness and glide. It's just good stuff. I had planned to bin this one as well, but just couldn't do it. Cella will be staying in the den.

 

This shave is as a great way to start the week. I’m smooth and smelling good.

Good looking setup and photograph Brian.

 

Thank you gentlemen. I think it's interesting that the plastic head has changed color with time

 

Funny you should mention that. My head has changed color with time also.

 

Brian, what does that bottle of Bay Rum look like with out the photo effects?

 

Teddy's doing better than me. My forehead keeps getting bigger with every hair cut.

 

Thank you Doug!

9 OCtober 2017 Menthol Monday/Back From Vakay Shave
Continuing on with my monthlong use of my NEW Short Comb. Using Catie's Bubbles "Sunrise" for Menthol Monday I scored another BBS shave. The NEW/GSB combo is as usual delivering shaving excellence! 2.5 passes with some J-hooking on the lower right side of my neck left me smooth. "Sunrise" smells great, is slick and has a great post shave face feel.
Topped the whole thing off with Proraso Green Lozione Dopobarba and my first day back from vakay was on!
Have a great shave, have a great day!!

 

I'm with ya on this Charlie! Love COB!
