See if they have Thomas Hardy Ale, Hog.. Yes, the same Thomas Hardy of "Tess" fame..
Probably the best brew I've ever tasted... Almost a wine really....

All my time spent in the woods and I never find sheds... Least not before the mice do!
Although, most of the antler from our Whitetails would probably not be big enough anyway, although Moose are returning to New York...

Do not know if you are into Belgian style of beer... try out the Flemish brewer "Duchesse De Bourgogne." One of the MOST amazing Belgian beer.

Feather Artist razor/ Feather professional blade

A little raw in some spots, but a pretty good shave overall.

Soap: Pré De Provence

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS Milk: KD Creations - Unscented

EDT: Obsession Calvin Klein

Results: First time I tried the Pré de provence soap which was a gift and I really enjoyed the fresh scent. Lots of lather. It's loaded with shea butter and I must say my face felt extremely soft and moisturized. I only needed a very small dab of Karen's AS milk as that too moisturizes extremely well. A final spritz of Obession and all was good.

Enjoy the new week gents.

Don't forget to the stonewashed jeans to complete the set with the obsession!

Razor: AOS Thier Issard carbonsong razor
Cream: Godrey Lime
AS: Proraso Pre/Post

Leave Home last Sunday @ 4 AM. Arrive Oklahoma City 10 AM. Work all week on assignment until 5PM Friday afternoon. Scamper over to the Airport to make a 6PM flight into Chicago. Get delayed 50 minutes on the Chicago to Newark flight but finally arrive in my home @ 2AM. Take a quick nap and wake @4am. Drive the wife to State College PA, for Parents weekend at Penn State. Spend weekend with wife and youngest daughter. Sunday afternoon drive home (4 hrs) and finally get to relax.

I don't travel with a straight so it was a multi-blade all week coupled with a bumpy rash. NO shave over the weekend.

Hot Shower, scrub face with Gentleman's Best cold pressed soap.
Warm oil
Castle Forbes SC
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Badger Brush
Wade and Butcher, Celebrated ( my favorite razor)
SRD Premium 1, Stropped 50 on pressed felt and 100 on Leather
AOS Aluminum
Thayers
Aramis Post Shave Balm

I earned this shave. It was wonderful. Passed the BBT with flying colors. Now off to read the 1100 posts I missed on the SRP this week

Prep: Truefitt & Hill Pre-Shave Oil w/hot towel
Brush: Shavemac DO1
Razor: Filarmonica 14
SC: Al's Shaving Cream - "Calypso"
WH: Humphreys Cucumber Melon
ASB: Al's Calypso ASB
AS: Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum
Result: A very nice shave, I love this razor. Al gave me a sample of the Calypso ASB with my last order (Thank you Al). The blend of the Calypso ASB and the Virgin Island Bay Rum work well together IMO. I always liked the Pinaud Bay Rum, but blended with the Calypso, the Calypso brought the Pinaud V.I.B.R. up to a new level.

Ooooohhhh...That is an amazing beer. Wife and I love it

Not quite as relaxing as using a straight but had a very busy day.
