    do you apply the Grey Flannel after the Capt. Choice North?

    Yes. The scent of most aftershaves dont last on me outside of 5 minutes, so I typically add a cologne before I head out the door.

    New Year’s Eve Shave
    Thursday, December 31, 2015



    King Cobra with Triad Aristocrat Ti
    Feather Pro Super #7
    Druida Barberpole Manchurian
    Acqua Di Parma
    Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Shea Butter
    Chilled Proraso Aftershave +Menthol
    BB 1818


    Outstanding super close BBS shave today. This my last shave of 2015 and the shave for this Feather Pro Super blade. Loaded in the Cobra it gave me 7 of the closest shaves I've had this month. All the hype about ADP proved correct. This Italian soap is a high performer with an outstanding scent. Finished the shave year with some very cold Proraso Aftershave.
    Have a good New Year's Eve everyone. :party:

    I really like it. It is actually a cologne but a light scent but lingers on me and I even will put some on my clothing which seems to last longer than on my skin. I thought it was a steal #$16 for a 8 oz bottle of cologne and it is hard to find here stateside. I bought mine at shoeboxshaveshop about a year ago. Another sleeper from Alpa that I find very good their 378 aftershave.

    Straights to the Finish Line!!!!

    December 30

    Razor - W.B. Speed Rabbit
    Brush - BoS Omega 10066
    Soap - Arko
    Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea

    Two days left in the month and year and I'm finishing out with the straight. The Rabbit is an excellent razor and I decided to break the Arko stick back out today. Haven't done that in awhile and it was fun watching that lather just explode to life under the BoS. Fine lather. And, after two passes with the Speed Rabbit I had a very near DFS and good enough for a long day of sales. The alum was relatively quiet and the Nivea was just to help with any left over irritation from the Soyuz 1. One more day with the Rabbit and then on to January. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the straight, but there will be more added. I appreciate the suggestions from the 30 day crew that are popping up. And you wonder where I get my inspiration from......you enablers you.

    Hope you're heading to a happy new year and a safe New Year's Eve!
