    Thank you Doug. The mug is one of my wife's "Moscow Mule" mixed drink mugs. I appropriated it for a SOTD photo. :D

    As a rule I don't do too well with glycerin soaps but this morning I was able to get a pretty good lather from the Mama Bear Awakenings soap, thanks to my Plissoft synthetic. The menthol power of this stuff is definitely comparable to our JoAnna's Subzero but unfortunately the Awakenings is not as skin-friendly and it also seems to lack a bit in blade glide as well as in cushion. I enjoyed the shave nonetheless and ended up BBS in two easy passes. The Black Powder aftershave from F&C smells heavenly, with a great menthol punch! :happy088: :happy088:

    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth
    Ever-Ready 150
    Bombed Pyrate Cove Bay Rum and Ginger
    Grafco OC
    Persona lab white wrapper (2)
    Iced Virgin Island bay rum
    Today's shave was nice. Excellent lather from PC, not as rich as some of the others, but nice. Can't hardly believe how great the ole ugly Ever-Ready performs. Three passes with the Grafco, very nice results. Finished with iced bay rum.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20161013_081721_resized.jpg 20161013_083742_resized.jpg

    Thursday Tobacco Two Pass
    Excellent shave today in every way. The Bronze Shadow made thick yogurt lather from WSP tallow, and spread it comfortably across my face. I made two drama free passes with the Futur. I finished up with B-M Reserve Cool and WSP Tobacco balm.

    EJ/Scotch&Stowe frankenrazor
    Astra SP blade
    WD Silver Tip brush
    Musgo Real Spiced Citrus SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Musgo Real Orange Amber cologne

    Another fine shave to start the day. I really like the Musgo Real SC, lathers easily and gives great skin care and cushion.. I like cushion. The frankenrazor performed admirably again also. It's good to get a fine shave. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    It's brass outside with some type of lining. My guess is it came in some type of kit from the liquor store.

    Thank you.
