Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

Shave # 318 ( 371 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Progress
Blade: Wizamet Iridium Super (1)
Brush: Razorock BC Silvertip
Soap: Speick Shave Stick
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Speick

Different routine today for a haircut. Cut my hair and a relaxing shower before my shave today with Speick Shave Stick. A little gummy rinsing the razor first pass as it got what was gummed to the whiskers from rubbing the stick on my face but 2nd and 3rd passes got MUCH better and rinsed off the razor fine. Never grab this progress although it gives a nice shave with a lot of........................BLADE CHATTER. I know, enough of that. I got a silky smooth result though and will give this more time going forward if I can remember to. Some studying for tonight but a relaxing day. Have a great day Cadre and STAY WARM !!!!!!

Very nice, Dave. Speick is a big time favorite of mine. I'm going to have to order another bottle of the aftershave soon.
 
That's two Progressessseses that I've seen today. It's a sign because I don't mind..........BLADE CHATTER. 🤣 I think I had that video playing in the background about an hour ago while I replied to the trolls commenting on my video. Gotta go back and watch it again.
 
Well. I clearly wasn't paying attention to the video because you're not using a Progress. Oh well. The show goes on.

Shave # 319 ( 372 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (9)
Brush: Sorrentino Custom Sea Foam
Soap: Tabac Shave Stick
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Nivea 2 in 1 Splash
Fragrance: PdP #63

Had a nice shave with the Tabac Stick. This is a good soap with a nice scent but not a favorite. I've now used it and can move on. This is getting mailed out today to an unsuspecting victim member I think will like it. Used the Vector with 0 zero nada blade chatter. :ROFLMAO: Spritzed to my hearts content with the #63 and I may freeze my tushie off window cleaning today with a 22 degree start in Knoxville but I'll smell splendid doing it. Have a great day Cadre !!!!

Sorry, It's unobtanium. My brothers barber in Levittown, PA makes it once in a blue moon and sells it in his shop but usually gone as quick as a Paladin brush drop........I am trying to get him to get me a backup for the past year or more.......You could google it to get his website and contact him possibly (y)
 
Thanks, Dave. Levittown is way across the state. I scrolled through their photo gallery. Interestingly, they have a Pitt banner on their wall. Good to see real barbershops thrive. My son, the one who tricked me into wet shaving, frequents one in town here. He comes back with his hair and beard looking perfect every time.

If I land a bottle, I will be sure I land 2 and send it your way (y)
 
Nice shave! That picture is taking my thoughts about Tabac, there's something warm inside, that I associate with first snow... Don't know why.
