That's a super cool old world style scuttle.

January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 1

Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9)
Blade - (3)
Soap - Blood on Steel by Jeeves of Hudson Street
Brush - 30 DC LE
Post - Alum

Well, we're off! Good grief - I checked in a few times during the day and knew you guys were having a good day. Never expected to post my first shave of the month on day 17 in the 30 DC but I'll take it! I couldn't let Decadent December end with only two shaves on the Toggle/Sharp Star so I went back to that for the third and final shave on the blade. I did, however, choose the Blood on Steel Limited Edition Meet-up soap by Jeeves to get on theme. And, I paired it with the 30 DC Limited Edition brush. Definitely a great way to start the new year with the LE combination. I'll splash on the Blood on Steel AS tomorrow before heading to my new store. Well, old store. Yep, they moved me yet again. Back to the store I had a year ago. Before being moved twice in a year to "help save problem stores". Guess what? My old store is now a "problem store". I think I need a raise, or at least a limo to get back and forth.

The lather from the Blood on Steel was Jeeves quality. Very nice indeed. Three passes to a BBS with just a minor bit of burn from the alum. Sharp Stars always do a fine job and the Toggle is always fun to use. Glad I took the opportunity to give it one more run.

Hope you have a great Wednesday and thanks for a fantastic start to the new year.
