Friday

Last day of what I call my holidays, which actually consists of few holiday activities; though the camping was fun. Holidays for me has meant me frequenting this site way too much for a healthy existence. It’s been a bit rainy and given the 250 dropped on the boots money has been restricted by SWMBO.

The shave (at 13:45) was prompted by someone getting me talking about my army days, I wasn’t going to shave today; but I talked about obsessions (cleaning boots) which lead my thoughts to dress inspections before mounting guards, etc, which of course relates to the quest for the GDS shave.

I got close to a GDS shave today, though really if I wanted to be sure I didn’t get extra duties I’d be following it up with a DE touch up on the neck. The razor was almost a perfect combination of smooth and sharp; something I was talking about somewhere here recently.

After shave was a liberal application of Pinaud Clubman. It had just the right amount of sting.

Loved the O Melhor cream, top cream in my opinion, pity I'm going anti SLFs.


Razor: Schulze Wiener Schaber | Cream: O Melhor| After Shave: Pinaud Clubman

Today's shave was a little late in the day due to working on the house all day... BUT!! what a wonderful end to the day...

Razor 8/8 Westenton & Son - freshly cleaned, sanded, buffed and honed.
Soap - a slice of Old Spice Original, VDH, Tabac, and Col. Conk soaked all day. HUGE lather!!
Brush - 24mm Silvertip in Vintage Honey Locust Custom WillN Handle
AS - Aqua Velva Blue Ice
EdT - Drakkar Noir

Man does this razor deliver. The Westenton is a very old stub tail (pics posted in the razor clubs) that deserved better than she was getting. I've had a lot of time on my hands lately and decided to give her the proper restoration she needed. Now it not only looks great, but after re-honing it she absolutely shaves amazing. A great cool water shave tonite.

Happy Friday!!!!
