Bostick Braun & Co-EJ Sea Buckhorn Soap and Cream-EJ Sea Buckhorn ASB-DB 1.5-24MM Silvertip

Great day and Shave today. Planted 4 new trees on the new property. 3 Pass shave tonight getting ready for an early meeting in the morning. I'm not really a fan of EJ shave lather other then the smell. I feel like the lather is too "slimy". Love the scent though. did I get a good shave? Yes. just not what I prefer.....
No shave Mon so see ya all tues.

HOT Shower and Proraso Pre/Post.....(does anyone use this as a Post? i haven't and haven't read anything about it as a Post)

I have used it many times as an aftershave. I really like it and it has a very fresh feel & scent but I shave my head and find that it makes my already oily scalp super-slick (which I don't like). But that doesn't happen on my face.

JHenry, MVcrash & Baldy: congratulations on your great news!!

Omega1975, Deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Thank you, everybody, for my birthday wishes & for making me feel so welcome here. This is a great forum.

My deepest condolences to Omega1975 for his loss. My thoughts are with you.


Sunday Afternoon Shave

Dovo Bismarck Ironwood
Bryce C 24mm Silvertip Ironwood
T&H Ultimate Comfort Preshave Oil
T&H Ultimate Comfort Cream
T&H Ultimate Comfort ASB
T&H Spanish Leather Cologne

A wonderful Sunday afternoon shave before family dinner. I didn't know what to expect from the Ultimate Comfort series, but it is a really nice product. Great lather, very mild scent similar to the T&H soap and the Dovo always gives a comfortable, smooth shave. I look forward to a fun week. Have a good one, SOTD brothers!

Prep:	Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak /Rise baby face shave gel
Razor:	4/8 Robeson Sure-Edge, 7/8 Puma 'My Darling'
Hones:	King 1k, Norton 4/8k, 300 laps CNat 12k, 5 laps diamond paddle, 10 Laps .25 CrOx Paddle, 100 Clean Felt, 300 Leather
Brush:	24mm Silvertip
Uber:	Rise Baby Face Shave Gel, Cella
AS:	Alum Block & Pinaud Clubman
Edc:	Cuba Gold
Result:	Honed these razors yesterday in a 4 razor marathon. I found the Sure-Edge was a little nicer than the Puma edge, but both were great. Right side Robeson, left side Puma. Both were buttery soft and destroyed stubble. I had to skip a day shaving due to Friday's shave being sooooo good using my other newly honed razor. The Sure-Edge was a gift from a close friend, the Puma was an Antique store find. They both got a new edge yesterday and today was the proof I did well.

Happy Shaving All!

Monday

The morning after I reply to a post here about nicks and cuts, saying I’ve only had about 3 or 4, I get a nick! It was still a nice shave, though, two passes with the Schulze, and a nice Überlather too.

This afternoon I completed my walk/run to the top of Mount Torrens and back with a time of 27:41. That doesn’t mean a lot to anyone reading this, but it’s a full eight minutes shaved off from the one I did three weeks ago, which was the first one of these particular walk/runs for years. A far cry from my PB of 20:56, but still I’m happy with the result.

Razor: Schulze

Pre Shave: Proraso

Überlather: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad/O Melhor/Glycerine

After Shave: Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar

You know, here in Australia, because you went towards the guy, and arguably could have 'escaped', you would be charged with assault. I know of a case where a guy is in prison for murder because he and his mates went out to their own driveway to confront a known drug dealer who had rocked up several hours after driving by the house and firing several shots into it. One of them 'picked up a heavy object' hit the guy over the head and killed him. They had reported the drive-by shooting to the cops several hours before hand. With the cops due to rock up and investigate the shooting, they decided to bundle the body into the car boot (trunk) and drive up the freeway to dispose of it up north. Unfortunately, the duel fuel system was faulty and the car stalled on the freeway. The last I know the sun's coming up, the cops are on the way to their place to investigate the drive-by, and they're on the freeway in a broken down car with a body in the boot. All three are still inside 20 years later. If they'd have waited till the guy came INSIDE the house, they'd probably be free men...

I hope you remain safe...

That's really sad. I hope you get through it. I've found this forum a great 'leveller' in times of need. No one can know what guys we mostly haven't met and who live all over the world really think, but I feel guys here really care about each other...

Peace be with you...
