Shave # 335 ( 388 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Gillette Pyscho Tech
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Brush: Stuart With Maggards Synthetic
Soap: CBL Ghost Banana
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Vintage BRUT
Fragrance: Clone of YSL L'Homme
@NurseDave mentioned his LOVE for banana soap in a video recently which reminded me of how much I love CBL Ghost Banana. Whipped up with Stuart Minion brush. Each succeeding pass cooler then the proceeding one concluding with a neck shave and lather soak. The cool water rinse was so cool it was painful.....................in a good way Nancy, suck it up !! Threw on some BRUT and enjoying coffee before choosing another frag clone before going out the door.............................that's right my day off is naught as I had a regular customer plead for me to come and do the windows again for this year. I've done her windows for literally 30 years and she says she raised me..................my mother disagrees but more bathroom remodel money so off to work we go. Have a Stupid Fun Day Cadre !!!!!
PS - And for goodness sake, Have a Banana !!!

Shave # 337 ( 390 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Proline (7)
Brush: TSC Legacy
Soap: Dragonsbeard
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Dagonsbeard
Fragrance: Nuit D'Issey by Issey Miyake
Using the Dragonsbeard soap. I had gotten a sample from a member on DFS when he passed the Homelikeshaving razor to me to review (I'm also on a list to try the prototype of their adjustable razor at some point) I was fortunate enough to get a slightly used tub from the bay and Frank then sent me the matching splash and a bath bar. He has more scents coming soon and I'm glad as this soap when I used the sample, I knew was going straight to the top with my other elite soaps. Hoping he comes and joins us here. He indicated he would when I invited him. The Skin Food Slash felt nice going on and absorbed into the skin leaving a nice soft feel to the face without any greasy feeling as well as not feeling like anything was left to clog up pours.
I'm trying to do some research on the frag samples that Gus @GlazedBoker sent me. I can't do any justice to describing scent notes. I either like something or I don't. Today I tried Nuit D'Issey launched by the design house of Issaey Miyake in the year 2014. This woody spicy fragrance has a blend of bergamot, spices, vetiver, black pepper, leather, ebony tree, patchouli, tonka bean, and woodsy notes. I get a nice mix of the spice and citrus with woodsiness on a leather backdrop. I see liking this going forward.
