Strop: Star Shaving 3" Big Daddy, wool & Leather
Styptic: Hemo Stop Styptic Pencil
AS: Tend Skin
Pre-Shave: Hot shower, followed by face soak, 4 drops 100% Virgin Olive Oil per side of face.
Soap: Omega Creme De Barba Shave Cream
Brush: Whipped Dog 22mm Silver Tip in wooden handle
Mug: 7" Monster Apple Lather Mug gifted from my wife (Love you honey!!)
AS: Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Lime & Peppercorn
Cologne: Vintage Drakkar Noir by Jordache
Where: Mountains of Colorado, near Idlewild
Result:
Simple but elegant shave for in the mountains. My new mug offers the best lather I have ever witnessed, keeping it warm by simply soaking the mug in HOT water first. It stayed warm thru 2 passes.
I finished up with a generous splash of OBR, followed a few minutes later by a spray or 2 (or 3) of the Vintage Drakkar Noir. I have been gifted with so many colognes and After shaves over the years that I never used, some not even opened. I'm having a ball now digging them all out and trying them after all these years. Good thing I'm a pack rat!!
Enjoy!!
