Sun February 19th - Sat February 25th
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: Palmera 14
Brush: Simpson PJ3 - 2 band
Soap: SRD Bulgarian Rose
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
Coral Skin Food: GFT Rose
EDC: Hollister SoCal
It had been a while since I took my Palmera 14 for a spin so I gave it a good stropping on 50 linen, 50 red latigo and 50 horsehide. Lathered up with the amazing Bulgarian Rose from SRD and mowed away those whiskers in no time. Sealed it all with some Coral Skin Food and a final spritz of Hollister's SoCal. Got a very nice compliment from the wife and a happy wiggling tail from Vivi.
Gents, rise and shine. Get in gear as the new SOTD is up.

Results: With my wife visiting Las Vegas with her family this weekend, I am pretending to enjoy bachelorhood. The Bath House makes a truly magnificent line of products. The lather from the soap is amazingly rich and moisturizing and the EdT very very nice. The Wacker had a terrific time wiping the 48 hr growth from my face:y. Smooooooooooth and ready for my 10AM meeting today (yeap...even on a Sunday). |
