Thread: Sun July 20th - Sat July 26th

Sorry for posting this so late, but there was yet another sudden death in the family. I hope this is over for some time ...

Sunday, 7.20.14

Hot Water Prep
Tabac Shave Soap
Morris&Forndran Blonde Badger 1/2
Ralf Aust 7/8 Spanish Point
Witch Hazel
Penhaligon's Endymion EdT

A trying day at the funeral home, and a trying trip to pick up relatives. The funeral was Monday ... I just haven't had time to breathe.



Tuesday, 7.22.14

Tepid Water Splash
Proraso Sapone da Barba
Simpsons Duke3 in Best
Ralf Aust 7/8 Spanish Point
Witch Hazel
Proraso Dopobarba AfterShave Splash

Things are quieting down a bit, and I needed a relaxed, cooling shave. The Aust was chosen again because it was ready to go from Sunday's shave and because it does an exemplary job of clearing whiskers. I was just too drained to do this shave any other way!

Amazing postings by everyone this week ... I'm simply awestruck. I'm finding I have more and more difficulty in my feeble attempts to keep up with you gents!

First i wanted to use a DE for the Shave today but then i thought, a cool Shaving Soap and a cool AS on a hot Day, perfect basic Conditions to give my 1958 Stainless Trud the First Try, the Real T-34 Razor :-)
