SoS: December 15, 2014 - December 21, 2014

Yep Kevin, sometimes great things come from humble beginnings!

 

I'm not sure it's too fragile, at least not any more than any other pottery.

 

Saturn's Day:

First pic with my fancy new smart phone; apologies if the size is a problem on your device. Started off with Clean & Clear Morning Burst face wash, because I didn't pack my own, and had to let cold water suffice for closing the weepers on the ATG pass, as I forgot the alum. Otherwise, excellent BBS results in 3 passes, finished off with 3rd Man cologne.

 

Man I love that NEW every time I see it!

 

Interesting first pic.

 

Great wife - Every now an then I mention letting my whiskers grow just to see the reaction on her face- Now she has back up in my 16 year old daughter. So alas I shave everyday (Except for scruffy Saturday) but that really is not a problem

 

C you were absolutely correct. Is the Weber DLC more/less aggressive? And... where, if I may ask, did you get that beautiful UFO bronze handle?

 

Today was a special kind of shave. It was my grandfather's funeral and he personified the classy man so I wanted to make sure I had a great shave. I recently found some of his Personna blades while packing up his house so I'll be sure to use some soon and keep the rest as a momento.

Brush: Edwin Jagger best badger
Razor: Edwin Jagger 89lbl

Late shave this afternoon.
Hot shower
Tabac shave soap
Muhle R 41
Witch hazel, Clinique post-shave soother and Captain's Choice Bay Rum aftershave to finish.



I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

 

Cool, I have a Morley straight made near my hometown in St Louis as well.

 

Hot shower with sandalwood and spice soap.

Razor. ..Gillette fatboy executive
Blade.... rapira platinum lux (3)
Brush... seafoam b&b essential boar
Soap.... razorock xxx

 

Nice Exec..it's one of my favorite razors, and I almost feel guilty using it. Which setting works best for you?

 

I had taken Pre De Provence (PDP) ut of my normal rotation a couple of weeks ago because it wasn't performing to the standards of the other french soaps in my rotation. I tried it again today and was pleasantly surprised at how well it did. I will stick with it for a few days and see if I want it back in the normal rotation.

PDP
Slim Adjustable
Ladas blade

I recommend everyone try the Ladas blade. It works great for me.

 

Nice shave no doubt!

 

I'd suggest a L'Occitane Plisson, makes easy work lathering Proraso and all other soaps/croaps.

 

My condolences to you and your family.

 

I will use that next time I use the soap. The plisson seems to lather everything with ease and has turned into my favorite brush at the moment.
