Lake Arrowhead Shave #1

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 5/8" Torrey, Full Hollow, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip

Überlather: CarrieM "Sleigh Ride" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Y'e Old Barbershoppe" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue

Results: Last night, it rained and snowed in Lake Arrowhead, but the resort we are staying at was very nice. This AM, we got up late, had a nice breakfast, went to the gym and did some Yoga (first time for me...I am a Tai Chi kind of guy myself), enjoyed some nice sauna at the spa and had a wonderful shower/shave with this fabulous Torrey (gift from my friend, Rene). Wowwww...it was a relaxing and nice shave indeed...BBS everywhere.

******************************



Temperatures are Brrrrrrrrr, cooooooooold (for us anyway . 22ºF)...frozen ground with fresh snow/rain last night. Beautiful day though...Sun is out and we're off to the Village for what I am sure will turn out to be a shopping spree. I am taking my camera gear as I hope to get some pictures and do some local hiking before day is over. But, the lazy and relaxing day is on the agenda today.

Have a FABULOUS Thursday guys.

Oh my...look at the spike on that Revisor (looks mean)...Very, very nice buddy. Gotta love that Simpson.

Yes, it´s pure LUXURY to use this brush , I´m very happy with it! The spike is actually not as bad as it looks, despite the size (8/8) it´s a very "easy" blade to shave with, I think.
