Awesome shave this early Sunday morning.
No head shave. Just a quick face shave in under 15 minutes.
Loving the “Samhain” scent more and more as time goes by.
I’ve noticed that the sweeter pumpkin smell has subsided from the splash, and I’m noticing the tobacco scent more.
I’m liking it this way much better.
Anyhoo, the old Wade & Butcher was used again. (Love the sharp and quiet shave)!
It’s a good day to worship Him.

Lather: Southern Witchcrafts “Samhain”

Shave On
Gotta love an early morning shave.
Went on a nice run, then had a great head and face shave.
Afterwards my baby went for her yearly check-up.
All is good.
Love the little Shumate razor. Got it for something like $10...or less.
After I restored her and gave her custom scales, she’s definitely one of my top 4 straights for sharpness.
Thinner than what I usually like, and an outstanding shaver. Baby-butt smooth, but I still gotta be cautious with her.
Matched the Shumate with an autumn/winter scent, and I’m cooking with Crisco.
Now to eat, hit the weights, and do some “Muay Thai Madness” for an hour or so.
It’s a good day.
