Sun August 26th - Sat September 01th
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: Genco Easy Aces
Brush: C2
Soap: Irisch Moos
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
ASB: Aqua Velva - Ice
EDT: Davidoff Cool Water
Summer is still going strong in Vegas so any cooling effect is always welcome. There's nothing better than what I used for today's shave. The refreshing scented Irisch Moos, which btw lathers up like the dickens, the ice cooling Aqua Velva and the ever so yummy smelling Cool Water from Davidoff. A member resurrected a very old thread about my Genco Easy Aces and it reminded me that the razor hasn't been used for a very long time. I stropped it 25 linen and 50 red latigo and it was all business after that. Excellent shave with an extra BBS result.
Last week of August. Enjoy!

Results: Super smooth shave with today's choice of hardware and software:rock:. The JabonMan not only delivered mounds of smooth and delightfully thick lather, but the deep Rose scent was intoxicating:y. After a couple of laps around the CrOx, the Böker took on a super smooth edge and cleaned 3 days worth of whiskers (more like a forest). What a shave indeed:nj!!! My face is as happy as a clam. Ready for another fabulous Sunday with family. |

EdC: TOBS Eton College - What a beautiful, Citrus'y scent. I love it, as does SWMBO
Excellent shave, excellent. It was so close and smooth. It made a ton of noise as I was shaving, getting at 3 days of growth. With my work schedule, I'm lucky to get in a shave every 2-3 days or so. Good thing the rest of the boys at work are just as bad! I really don't like not shaving every day, but I do prefer sleep. I wish I could participate more often, but I'll just have to keep working at it!!
Here's hoping we all have a great week! and in the meantime, enjoy a relaxing Sunday!!
Great SOTD's this week men, great job!
