Sun March 18th - Sat March 24rd
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: Kabeso 248
Brush: SRP 2011 LE
Soap: Tabac
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
AS: Tabac
EDT: Habit Rouge : Guerlain
A very clean, refreshing shave for today's SOTD. The Kabeso is a weight monster. Pretty hefty piece of steel. Mows away those whiskers like a tank driving over a parking lot. Tabac needs no introduction and the ones who know me also know my fondness and love for HR de Guerlain.
We're going through a few colder and rainy days in the desert. Finally we had some serious rain come down our way. It's a blessing.
Keep up the great SOTD's!

I've only been shaving 2-3 times a week lately, but I try to never miss my Sunday night shave. I love 'em.
The W&B was up against 4 days of growth, but wiped it away with ease for a fantastic 2 pass BBS.
Jacky boy even climbed out of bed to stand next to me and watched the whole shave.
My youngest big boy, Mason turned 2 today. He's such a sweet, beautiful boy.
Thanks for all the words of support last week when I was feeling a little low, you guys are awesome.
Have a great week fellas

Good morning all,
Happy BIrthday Mason!!
Here is some British steel that is off the chart. A Barrett & Sons Piccadilly. There is something about the shoulder less design that I find attractive. It must be that sculpted look that flows evenly. Have a great week gentlemen.
