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!

Thanked: 485Sunday
Another one of my Sunday bedroom minimalistic shaves. Shaving like this every week is really cool. You have to be so ‘measured’ in your actions; no frisky splashing of water! Prep was just a quick splash of water, (no ‘pre-shave shower’, I shaved mid afternoon). I’m really enjoying this new strop; I really think it improved my shave tremendously; the razor’s edge felt so smooth.
Only a short post today as I am suffering from a chest cold. It's entirely possible that I'm lamenting about that a little too much. The wife appears to be pretending she doesn't care about my illness...

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
