[ATTACH=CONFIG]No shave yet today due to some weather considerations. Once I know Irene has left for good, I'll take the time to enjoy the day. We were lucky, house did not flood or loose power. Hope everyone else who was in harms way is OK.

Thanks Irene.

Hey, thanks for sharing some pics. From here it is all just news, no impact. It's reality to see some of it as it is.

Thanks!

Seemed like everything has calmed down so a good time to shower and shave.
Warm Shower
Warm Oil
Hannah made Ceramic
Custom Badger
Gentleman's Best Soap, Bomb Vetiver Custom , Glycerine.
1959 Gillette Fat Boy
Stephan's Tropical Lime AS
Vaseline for men

Nice shave. The Shave cream Uber lather was really great.

Mvcrash, glad you haven't been badly affected and I send my best wishes to everyone else in Irene's path.

Those pictures are a testament to the power of nature and never was a "No Thru Traffic" sign more appropriate.

PS: Peoples who suffers from the bad weather of IRENE my thoughts are with you

Evening Shave Out by the Pool:
Prep: Lukewarm Water Rinse
Razor: C.V. Haljestrand Mk4
Brush: Semogue 2000
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
AS: Clubman Bay Rum

So it was a nice day so I took my shave out by the pool. The twenty somethings on hand could not have been more appalled if I had produced a kitten, ripped out it's throat with my teeth and consumed the entire animal on the spot, fur bones and all. They were all clearly waiting on a jugular vein slice but I had to disappoint them. I fear my public shaves have only cemented my reputation as "that lunatic downstairs that wears a handlebar moustache, smokes cigars and shaves out in public with one of those old fashioned knife thingies." Oh well, joke them if they can't take a...well, you know.

Give 'em Hell!!!!
I'd like to see a pic of you shaving IN the pool!!!

Prep: Hot Shower, Proraso pre
Scuttle: G5
Brush: AOS Best Badger
Soap: Proraso, AOS cream Uber.
Razor: Beau Brummel #44, 11/16" Spike point
Result: BBS. After a trip to the hones and my homemade pasted strop made from a piece of seatbelt with diamond paste I got one of the best edges so far...wiped the lather off, and a smooth comfortable shave!

Great Shaves to start the week Gentlemen!
