Week of August 7 SOTD - Friday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger Maxterpiece: 7/8" Geo Wostenholm "IXL Celabrated", 1/2 Hollow Ground, Barber's Notch (w/ Black G10 scales + Hunter Orange wedge) Strop: 25/40/60 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather) Überlather: Jack Black "Macadamia/Soy" Shave Creme + Mama Bear "Masculine Musk" Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: Calvin Klein "Eternity" AS Cologne: Calvin Klein "Eternity" EdT Results: Another day with Jack, but this time coupled with Mama Bear's intoxicating Masculine Musk. Fantastic überlather to kick start this shave into high gear. To top it off, I brought out the Maximized Wosty for a spin around the face and she performed spectacularly. An extraordinarily BBS and zero irritation shave for sure...In fact, if one were to look at the definition of "irritation free" in a dictionary, there should be a picture of these cast of characters next to it .
Have a FANTASTIC Friday gentlemen.

Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum Sage and Cedar
AS: Ivy Club Pour Homme

Well, I think the yuck cloud that has hovered over me for the last four days is beginning to clear. After the last three days of feeling like 5 turds this morning I only feel like about 2. I actually tasted the morning cigar (a wonderful La Veleza Dominican) and had a good strong cup of french roast coffee. I'm not back to a hundred percent but I do feel markedly better than I have yet this week. What I do know is that I've spent more time on my back than any decent man can live with. And while minor congestion and an annoying cough persist, I really need to get out and move around and will likely try some light PT this evening.
The shave was great today too. As you can see, I brought out my fanciest fancies I'm waiting to get blasted for the body spray but it does actually smell pretty good (and come on, it's not like I'm wearing Axe it is after all an Old Spice product.)
The older I get, the better I was
