A manly brush for a manly man!

My G brother does not care for a Simpson Wee Scot that has barely enough hair to lather one man's nostril.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

One day left. Ride home today was difficult since three tractor-trailers crashed and tied up the NJ Turnpike. Anyway, I looked forward to arriving home for my shower and shave. Good news is my daughter completed her freshman year at Penn State today and comes home for the summer on Friday!!

Today's shave:

Hot shower
warm oil
Dirty bird Scuttle
New Forest Badger
Castle Forbes Lavender Shave cream
Genco Easy Aces
SRD P1, 40 felt 60 leather
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Clubman
Nancy Boy after shave gel

I really enjoyed today's shave. The CS always performs well and the Genco was amazing. After the shave I let the hot towel sit on my face for a short time.

Enjoy the evening.

When ever you drop by SOTD the results are always great. Awesome setup. Combining Butch's and your own workmanship is a recipe for greatness. Love the brush handle too, I want one like that one of these days.
