Sunday morning!!!
Just after dawn here the sun is just peeking...
A nice Summertime shave this morning, before we head out for a ride..
I started with a nice cup of fresh ground Italian Roast, which while I was making it, thanks to this Theme Idea, I had the camera ready so I caught these pics this morning:

I started thinking about what to do for the shave this morning, and thought LIME !!!
And then sang this stupid song as I enjoyed a nice long hot Sunday shower !!!

I had the Castle Forbes Lime warming in the Georgetown Scuttle with 5 drops of glycerin during the shower...Using my Big olé Shave-Mac 28mm Silvertip I started the Uberlather process by loading some Classic Lime Soap into the brush... Moving over to the scuttle and the pre-softened Castle Forbes, I make that into some whupped cream peaks of Lime joy... Now I chose the "Night Stalker" my #14 Filarmonica Doble Temple in Midnight acrylic and decided to push the stropping today, I went 50/100 on my SRD Premium 1.
After a hot towel face wrap, and 1 lathering, then another hot towel, I lathered up, and made my first pass with that 1 inch of buttery smooth Spanish steel... WOW!!! just WOW !!! The second pass was just because I had made the lather
...
Clear water touch up pass and I was done...Some alum followed by a cold water splash, and an iced towel...The Pusser's Lime splash tops off a great shave, and starts what I hope is a fantastic Sunday...
This is the pic off the back deck as the sun just catches the top of the trees, the mountain peak you can just see through the trees is White Mountain, we are heading up to the back side of it later, on the ATV's

Week of August 22 "Themed" SOTD - Sunday
)...thick, very moist, and lots of cushion. In honor of today's themed SOTD, I brought out my Special Ed. "Wacker" to christen the event (I don't use this that often...I guess special occasions like this). Well, needless to say that my shave was extremely satisfying and close. Today is going to be a great day
. 
Tried this and wasn't much impressed. I didn't have any Glycerin to put into it but in general I would rather just use Shave Creams.
