    SATURDAY
    Smooth early morning shave today; up early with plenty to do today.
    I've found that my synthetic brushes are most effective in getting the MWF to cooperate and yield some fine lather.
    An uneventful but pleasant 3-pass shave left me in BBS territory. The 'Snake Bite' is a nice 'slap' to the face to finish.
    Have a blessed weekend all!

    SOTD June 13, 2015

    Prep: Shower, followed by hot facecloth and pre-shave oil (rose)
    Razor – Fendrihan DE
    Blade – Feather
    Brush – Parker Badger
    Soap- Proraso (White)
    After Shave - Lavender Witch Hazel
    After shave balm - Shea Butter

    Sorry, no picture today. Yesterday I was in the drug store sniffing the shaving soaps ("Sir, there is that man in aisle six sniffing the shaving soaps again...") and decided the Proraso White had a mild enough fragrance that I would give it a try. And it was well worth the effort. It lathered up well, it had a mild, yet not unpleasant fragrance, that dissipated with rinsing. A great shave overall. 10/10

    Enjoy your Saturday gents...:chores016:

    Soap Commander love

    * restored is not the right word, Clint's creation made this brush better than it ever was. customization would be more fitting.
    today's shave was very good. all elements performed very close to perfectly, ending in a close comfy very nice shave. finished with some love balm(man, that sounds kinky to say).
    hope y'all get some love balm involved in your weekend.

    image.jpg Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech NDC (declared 1947) Birth Year
    Brush: Erskine Badger 1947 Birth Year
    Mug: Old Spice (early glass Mug 01) 1947 first glass mug Birth Year
    Cream: Cella
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, TOBS Luxury AS
    The Gillette Tech is a nice mild razor for me even with a Feather blade. The Erskine brush whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug as it was sitting on a wash cloth, for padding, in the sink that was filled with hot water. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and some TOBS. Have a good one y'al.

    Thank you for all the expressions, thoughts and prayers during this time of grieving.

    We take solace in knowing he was happy, that we three brothers were together and passing was quick.

    This will go in my back yard!
