Did you ever have a Sunday shave that was so darned good that come Monday morning there was nothing to shave? I could have been more than presentable if I'd stopped at the hot water wash. Could have been CBS with just a spot touch up. But you know, I've never been known for moderation and anything worth doing is worth ridiculously over doing so naturally this was a two pass shave, naturally, Catfish Belly Smooth
Claude Monet is now apparently working for Blue Moon and kindly offered to paint my SOTD pic. Enjoy and have a great Monday, fellas.

Precisely what I was thinking, I did however pass through England once when the weather was actually quite nice. When I came back through a couple months later, I was reminded that it was all just a fluke and the more predictable British weather had returned. Originally Posted by Jeltz

A great shave tonight. As Rene says, sticky smooth after 3 passes.
This razor is not for beginners, that tip is unforgiving and needs careful attention especially when passing the ear going down that sideburn area.
Picked up this new shaving bowl at a garage sale over the weekend for $1. Not that I need more, but I like it.

PREP: Hot shower with conditioner in beard BRUSH: Semogue 2010 LE #66 UBERLATHER: SRD Bulgarian Rose Otto + Cyril Salter Rose + Glycerin RAZOR: Ern ATOR STROP: Kanayama Cordovan TONER: Thayers Lavender COLOGNE: Santal Noble RESULT: A shave to remember. I know it's blasphemy to adulterate the SRD BRO soap, but I got a sample of the CRS Rose cream and just couldn't help myself. The result, as you can imagine, was nothing short of spectacular! I had a lather that smelled divine and that was so rich and creamy I couldn't hardly believe it. The ATOR swept through that billowy cloud of moisturizing goodness with a deft ease. In two passes plus touch ups, I was left with a sticky smooth CBS! I think I'm ready for round two of interviews with one of the firms today!
