I woke up this morning in the mood for floral scents. Combining these three made an excellent lather both in scent and protection.

It’s BBS time! I am really liking the Derby blade. Smooth but nicely sharp. I even kind of rushed my prep this morning and still got a BBS. Yes, I know better than to rush anything about the shave, especially the prep but eh, I’m only human Regardless, it was a really good shave. Topped it off with the Pinaud. Almost done with my PSO samples so I’ll be posting my choice of those soon. I’ll also be posting about all of the soaps I’ve tried so far. So stay tuned! Speaking of soaps, I really like the Bigelow! Makes me want to invest in some more menthol soaps. Probably Proraso Green to start out. Have a great weekend!

Stop by That Shave Life!

today's shave was billed to be
so cool, so keen, so quick, do clean

hot water wash with nivea men's
whipped dog silver tip
c.o. bigelow
Merkur 39c
durex (1)
aqua velve blue ice as
today I went back to my de's. I had been using se's. I had someone give me several tucks of durex blades. I wanted to try them out. the box said they were using post war developments. I had to use for passes to get to my normal shave, the fourth pass Prolly gave me a better than normal shave. I'm checking while writing this. yes I'm definitely bbs today, but it came with a cost. I got two weepers, the a/s had a little more burn, the blade felt tuggy from jump street. I palm stropped it just like any other. I'm clean so I guess it was sharp, but not near as smooth as my persona labs.
finish with aqua velva
happy bday Dale
good day to the rest

 

Dale hope that you have a

SATURDAY
Late start this morning (nice to sleep in for a change after a hectic week!). Great 3-pass shave with the Frederick Reynolds faux frame back. This morning's pic was inspired by Brad's colorful SOTD shot yesterday as I looked to capture a similar vibe of those pop art posters of the'60s. No LSD nor black lights required...

Have a blessed weekend, all, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DALE! arty:

 

Happy birthday, Dale.

 

The brush has bloomed out nicely! That is what I like to see!

 

Like, ah, er, uh, far out man ... groovy!

 

Last shave with the Personna today ...
