vintage scuttle/mug
Ogallala bay rum soap (sample)
Omega silver handled pure bristle brush
Illinois Strop Co. strop
Black Bear brand strop
Clauss 6/8 spike
Expert Barber 6/8 spike
Ogallala Bay Rum A/S toner
Alum



20 passes on the linen, 20 passes on the leather for the Clauss.
Started using the Clauss, but it is going to have to go for a touch up, not sharp enough for me.

So in mid shave I switched to the Expert Barber 400, knowing it was sharp. I gave the Expert Barber 20 passes on the Black Bear leather side.



I'm becoming addicted to Ogallala Bay Rum. It is hard to choose between Cavendish Black and the OBR.

2 passes, the first with the Clauss, the second with the Expert Barber. Hot water rinse, alum, cold water rinse then applied OBR a/s balm. BBS.

 

Saturday:

Omega Silvertip
Parker 91R/new Personna
Williams Menthol S/C
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Vifrex A/S gel
Malizia Uomo EDT

a quickie, but a goodie this morning--I love the scent of this Williams cream, and the menthol action, and the Vifrex definitely magnifies it.

 

Freebird,

Have you tried TGQ Bay Rum and Orange?

Atsa vury nice-a!

 

Hi there Will,
Man..........you got that right. That is my very favorite soap in a bay rum flavor. The performance is what you'd expect of Colleen's products, and the scent is juuuuuuuuuuust right.
JoAnna also makes a very nice version, but that TGQ stuff.......whew.
Now, on the other hand..........Freebird? Have you tried TSD version of 'lime'? Now that one is something special.

Simpsons Chubby 2 best
TESC Gold Lined Chatsworth
Feather, day 3
Superlather; TSD Lavender soap with GFT Violet cream
alum block
Thayer's Lavender
Floris Elite splash

Another winner!!! Third day in a row with a similar ingredients list. The scent of TSD Lilac and Trumper Violet (the past two days) is, to me anyway, nicer, but this is another great combo.

I'm becoming quite a fan of the alum block - leaves a nice tight feel to my skin. It's also a good gauge of the quality of the shave. If you have gone at it a bit too aggressively, the alum will let you know right away! These past three days, I've barely felt the sting! I'm having a good week!

Oh and the Chubby is a MONSTER of a brush!!

 

Very nice Michael, sounds like a great shave and a good week :happy005

 

Nope, haven't tried the Bay Rum and Orange or the Lime....yet. I do have a sample puck of Colleens Bay Rum and Orange that Hoglahoo over on SRP handed me at the North East Oklahoma SRP get-together.(3 of us + Hoglahoos wife , son and baby, and Str8razor's son). We went to the Dutch Pantry in Chouteau, had a good meal and talked straights.

Back on topic lol, I plan on trying the Bay Rum and Orange as soon as the sample of Ogallala Bay Rum runs out.I'm curious about what all will be n the revolving grab bag when it makes it to my doorstep. Maybe some Lime? hmmmmm
