A very good shave, nothing like a spike for getting clean edges on sideburns. four hours later and my handsome face still feels buttery smooth.

Nice nice nice Bay Rum Kinda day... Been honing and restoring a ton this past two weeks and haven't had time for my SOTD's but today I am finally caught up.... I think.... :)
I made an Uberlather this morning that just exploded into mounds of whipped cream... I gotta say thanks to JoeD & CarrieM for sending me out the Bay Rum cream sample I mixed that into some Ogallala shave soap and my normal 5 drops of Glycerin and BOOM !!!! Super stuff ....
I used my newest scuttle that I won in NC, from Georgetown Pottery keeps it all waaaaaaarm....
Some slicing nice from the 8/8 Friodur with some laps on an SRD Premium I....Followed the shave with some Ogallala Bay Rum splash and I am off to work...
Have a GREAT !!!! Day all .....

So one of our members here "Logistics" sent me his Feather to try (Thank You Again) with a razor to hone :) and after reading Joed's SOTD the other day with the Limes it sounded like a great idea,,,,
Did a Lime Uberlather with Classic Lime shave soap / Castle Forbes Lime Cream... Whipped up in the Georgetown scuttle using a 28mm Shavemac silvertip.....Finshed off with some Pusser's Lime Splash
GREAT!!! Idea Joed very, very, refreshing
PS: I wll do a comparison thread on the feather in a couple of days....

Thanks Glen. It's going to be too hot for ma again today. In the high 80's to 90 so I don't know if I am going to shave tonight. If I do, it will be with limes again, maybe uberlather. It is refreshing!! C & E has some West Indian Lime
Body Wash at 50% off bring it to $9. I may buy one or two for a refreshing shower on the really hot days. Body Wash | Body Cleansers | Men's Grooming | Bath & Body | Crabtree & Evelyn
Edit: Silly me... Maybe I can get CarrieM to make up a gallon or two of lime body wash. It shold be easier and wuicker than the soaps and creams she has been making! Oh Honeeeey....
