Sat, Oct 13
Pre: Hot Shower, 15 Linen, 25 Leather
Razor: Mappin Brothers Sun? Razor
Brush: Thiers-Issard Super Badger w/ Black Horn Handle
Scuttle: Dirty Bird Brush Scuttle
Soap: AoS Sandlewood
Post: Cold water and Alum
Aftershave: T&H 1805
Having fun growing my beard back and concentrating on perfecting my neck area. Each time the neck is feeling a little better. Got a date today and she loves 1805. Starting to find I am getting more comfortable with stropping as I am no longer stropping slower than a turtle. I am now up to turtle. Slow and steady wins the race. Happy shaving.
No shave for me either. The wife and I are off to the Shenandoah Mountains to go hiking with the puppies...
Prep: Hot Shower, face wash with Clearly Natural Honeysuckle
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Cella
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: La Toja Manantiales Agua de Colonia
Tunes: Marshall Tucker Band- Can't You See, Creedence Clearwater Revival- Up Around the Bend
Results: Great shave! I'm beginning to "get" Cella. It seems to be one of those soaps that you just have to slow down and work with for a minute or two. The minute or two, is of course time well spent as the shaves are amazing.

BUSY morning! Had to round early this morning and then a full day of errands. Finally got a nice long shower and a very relaxing shave. Had a hard time getting an edge on the Mammut, but used the CroOx and Diamond strops after using it last time and finally got the edge I've been trying to achieve (this a very special razor, my wife gave it to me for St. Valentine's day this year). The Gucci cologne really compliments the I Coloniani. Have one more meeting today, then it's college football and some UFC this evening. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend.

Great Shave. The edge on the Pipe Razor is improving. It gave me a decent shave but I did have to do some cleaning up with a DE after. Some irritation too, the Lilac burned a bit so I had to use some balm. Have a good Saturday folks.
