Thread: Sun February 19th - Sat February 25th

Have family visting so my house is a disater and I couldn't find my camera this morning

Prep: Hot Shower + Musgo PSO
Scuttle: Dirty Bird 1.5
Brush: Vulfix 2236S (only because it was still out from yesterday's shave and I was kind of in a rush)
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Personna (3)
Suds: Ogalla Bay Rum + CO Bigelow + Glycerin
Post: Alum + Thayers WH w/Aloe
AS: Ogalla Bay Rum & Cedarwood
ASB: CO Bigelow Bay Rum
Cologne: Ogalla Bay Rum

Results: Hurried shave this morning due to company staying with us. Ended up with a few small niks. Lather was amazing, although I mistakenly thought a bit more of the Bay Rum scent would have been in the foreground. Oh well, live and learn.

Have a great day gents!!!

Torrey 5/8
Semogue 830
MWF ss
Thayers Lemon WH
GFT Extract of Limes Skin Food
GFT Portugal Edt

Squeezing the most I can get from my MWF puck which has split in two pieces...it's probably good for another eight or ten shaves. The 830 works well with the MWF and another fine shave ensued. I tried the Portugal from a sample vial as I was in the mood for something different. I'm not sure about it as it seems initially to be a bit too "soapy" for my taste but I am waiting for the dry down to make a judgement. And today will be better than yesterday.

Pre Myrsol bálsamo : Vitos : Vielong Extreme Flat Top : Iwasaki Tamahagane : Geo.F.Trumper Spanish Leather



Shave very fast and pleasant.

Sorry No Pic Today... I had a Job Interview and didn't have time to take pic..

Prep = Hot Shower
Mug = Pick Me Up (Big coffee mug)
Soap = Mama Bear's Cannabis
Brush = VDH Boar

I'm really liking the Mama Bear's soap and the Twin Work Razor. I need to rework My W&B since it doesn't shave as good as the Twin does..

Honed up this old Keen Kutter this evening, doing a favor for someone starting out. Took an excellent edge, a very nice shave.

Shave on gents!

Ha! I KNEW I may be picked up on that! As an ex artillery man a gun is an artillery piece, everything else was always termed a weapon. I didn't want to use the negative connotation of weapon, as I'm sure eTom would never use it in anger, and never to kill mocking birds ('cause that's a sin).

Loved that bit in the move Full Metal Jacket, EXCELLENT movie!!!
