My last shave before traveling for two weeks - had to make it a good one...

Pre: Hot shower/conditioner
Strop: Kanayama (40/60)
Razor: Akatombow Frameback
Lather: BentonClay Lavender + Bomb Lavender (extra EO) + 5 drops glycerin
brush: Vulfix
Post: Thayer's Lavender
ASB: Sandalwood SkinFood
EdT: Creed Royal Delight

Result: Incredibly smooth BBS. The Akatombow does such a nice job!



For the next two weeks, I'll be limited to two straights and one shave cream set up. My SOTDs (if I even have connectivity to post them) will probably be pretty lame as a result, for that I apologize. In the meantime, enjoy your shaves everyone...

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Baking Soda + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme

Razor: 7/8" Friodur #17 Stainless INOX, Square Point

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Creme/Lather: AOS Lavender Shave Creme

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (lavender, no alcohol)

ASB: NancyBoy Replenishing ASB

Cologne: Penhaligon Bleinheim Bouquet

Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer

Result: First class shave for Sunday. As always, love using the Shavemac to prep the beard and the Friodur is an absolute treat to mow those pesky whiskers.

Have a Fantabulous Sunday gentlemen .

Great shave this morning with the Tiger Wedge. Missed shaving yesterday, left very early in the morning on a motorcycle ride with the Widows Sons MA to Crater Lake State Forest for an outdoor (in the forest wilderness) Masonic Third Degree. This is an annual event that has been done since 1948. It was authorized by then President Harry S. Truman. (himself, a Past Grand Master of the State of Missouri) One of the most interesting degree ceremonies in Masonry done in the middle of a secluded conifer forest. The ride was beautiful through one of the most scenic areas in the United States IMHO. It was a great day for a motorcycle ride and raising a Master Mason.
