Oh crap! I should have blurred those.
Ok folks, this is not a drill! Someone run those prints and get us a Pic!
Walking away from those gems! Impressive willpower.

Not really. It was cool, but would just be a decoration.

Quick entry today. BBS with a touch of irritation on one side of my neck.That’s on me. Great post shave feel, great scent and walking tall.
Life is good!

Shave Count (DE: 304 SR: 277)
Pre Shave-
Splash and go
Shave-
Torrey SR
Zenith boar
SC Vetiver and Vanilla soap
Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Florida Water AS
The process-
Random kit today and a late morning shave. Loaded the soap for 30 seconds and and whipped up a nice lather. But I broke it with too much water and had to reload for the third pass.
A quick 25 laps on balsa and 50 on leather. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Scored a BBS for the win!
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. A splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Good shave, but I get a better post shave feel with Stirling or MWF.
Home front-
Was invited to a cookout today and we are in. A kinda lazy weekend with rain Friday and Saturday. Got 2.5” in total. Before the rain on Friday I picked up several 60lbs bag of sand. The last one I picked up the wrong way. I tweaked my back and have been slamming Advil ever since. It should sort itself out in a few days. That’s all I have at the moment. Life is good!

Shave Count (DE: 304 SR: 278)
Pre Shave-
Splash and go
Shave-
Boker SR
DSC badger
Krokus soap
Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Nivia ASB
The process-
Random kit all the way. I haven’t used the Krokus in awhile, so it’s on deck. It’s a nice soap with a light pleasant scent. I wouldn’t usually have something like this in my collection, but I picked it up in a trade. The DSC made quick work of the lather. At 20 seconds I had a ton of bubbly lather going on. It stabilized and whipped up a ton of lather. I could have shaved twice with the lather I had. The Boker got the nod today. There is just something about this razor, it usually bites me. I just get it close to my face and BAM!
To freshen it up, a quick 25 laps on balsa and 50 on leather. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Great shave and the razor didn’t bite me today. I am BBS for the win! Nice ... very nice!
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. A splash of the ASB and everything was right as rain! That was a pleasant shave. The post shave feel is not as hydrated feeling as others, but it’s not bad. It doesn’t feel dry. Nice, light and smooth. I’ll take it.
Home front-
Just bumming around today. I have to help my brother work on his car. Other than that, no plans. We’ll see what the day holds. Life is good!

Thanks Chris!
Have a great day, fellow BBS brother! I don't remember smelling that Vetiver and Vanilla. It sounds wonderful.

You didn’t. It had fallen behind my misc hardware box. Found it when I was digging for something else
