I had half an hour of pure enjoyment in the shave-den before the kids jumped at me, eager for me to open the presents they had made me

14 July 2013

* M&F 2XL Black
* Mystic Water Bay Rum
* Unrefined Shea Butter

Razor: ERN ATOR
Brush: Thater
Soap: Tabac
Aftershave: Tabac

Every now and again you just have to take the Tabac out for a spin! Combined with some excellent German-made hardware, this was a fantastic shave. Wishing you all a fantastic week.

SUNDAY
I wish you all a peasant and prosperous week!
Hot shower prep
Razor: 1850’s Gilchrist (Jersey City, USA)
Soap: Vintage Colgate
Mug: Vintage English
Brush: re-knotted STA-FAST
Splash: Bay Rum

The day? Bright >31ºC / 90ºF. The Shave? Smoooth!
A while back I bought the paddle strop shown. Got it home and noticed the drawer. The Gilchrist was wrapped in the drawer and a very light cleaning and honing brought it to the shave den! It appears to have been rescaled sometime in the early 20th century.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Those scales are AMAZING!!!!! I have a cross pendant made out of the same thing. I'm assuming that is Abalone?

Just a Haircut Today
Prep: Cool Shower (just enough warm not to squeel)
Razor: Pre-1904 Texas Shumate
Brush: VDH Boar
Cream: C.O. Bigelow and Olive Oil Superlather
AS: Nivea Double Action Balm, Aqua Velva Classic


Saving up stubble for my new Korean Kamisori. It left Tampa this morning so I'm about half certain, it will be waiting for me tomorrow after work. I'd like to be rocking a full on homeless man beard for its maiden voyage. I may even try a delayed gratification experiment and not shave until Tuesday evening. By then I should have the full on Sonny Crockett/ George Clooney/ Barney Rubble look.
