SOS: February 2019

Cheers Douglas, I do like a bit of brass

 

Thank you Mr. Drake.

 

Thank you Douglas. I hope you are feeling well.

 

Here's a planned shave(for Tuesday) I never thought I'd do in February in Massachusetts:

prep-Dove 4 Men Bodywash(Clean&Comfort)in shower
shave-Razorock Lime Burst soap
brush-Maggard Synthetic 24 mm Marble Handle
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot +DisposeABLE
A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer*

*I should have done that TODAY, as it won't be AS warm tomorrow but still nice.

 

Mitchell’s Wool Fat
B-400 Brush by Tom
Ever-Ready 1924
GEM Blade
Ogallala Bay Rum After Shave
Have a great week!

 

Started off with a shower and then added a brand new shtick proline in the Paradigm Titanium SE
then lathered up the Stirling Bakerstreet soap with my Simpsons Duke 3 Best badger.
Oh so smooth and close!
Finished with Nivea aftershave balm (Sensitive Skin).

Captain’s Choice Bay Rum

Looks like someone has taken a liking to the Supply Provision SE. Looks like Doug Smith Pottery Bowl, is that correct?

 

Thank you for the BSG samples. I am looking forward to giving them a try. I have really taken a liking to the Supply SE. I believe it is a Doug Smith bowl. My wife bought me two different sizes from him for Christmas.

 

I have two Doug Smith bowls but one turned out too large but I enjoy the shave mug. Like you I enjoy the Supply SE and bought all 3 finishes.

 

Hybrid Maggard Razor V2 OC on Jürgen Hempel Ti Handle / PolSilver Super Iridium / Turn-N-Shave Chi-Town Custom / Oleo SW Rush Street

Well, no sooner had I picked up some Rush Street splash, mentholated was all I could find, the non-mentholated showed up back in stock, immediately pounced, can considerably happier.

 

I have his travel size which to me is about the right size and the larger one which I think is a bit too large. I really don't bowl lather much but I try to feature them in some SOTD photos in an effort to keep my wife happy with her gift choices.

 

LoL, if the wife is happy then everyone is happy!

 

Thank you, Doug!
