Happy Sunday Y'all


A fantastic shave this morning with a Tribute to "The Town too Tough to Die" That's right, Tombstone, AZ.. Also the OG of the Tombstone collection Hombres Barbershop. A collaboration with Myself and @CBLindsay to create a fragrance and shave journey to the Famous Town, and all the characters that made Tombstone Famous. With notes of Russian Thisle (tumbleweed) Terra Cotta, Creosote ( Rain Bush ) Jalapeno Flower, wood, leather, gunsmoke, and more

Legendary lather, of course, and the razor today is from Tombstone, matches the years there, was used in the Barbershop in Tombstone, and Who Knows, it may have shaved some deperado, myself included LOL. It is actually Wyatt Earp days this weekend in Tombstone, so a tribute shave was in order

3 passes today and DSBBS. Finished off with CBL Litsea Cubebe WH, Barber Powder, and a VERY Liberal amount of Hombres Aftershave. FANTASTIC

( Video Posted) Watch for more DEETS, some thoughts on the razor, brush, and Memorial Day

At the Ranch:
Warm but gorgeous, a lazy day of Shop Laundry, some stuff outside in the yard, dog rough housing, and Homemade, @AvocadoQueen 's Famous, Tuna Casserole......



Have a Blessed Sunday Folks

Memorial Day Shave


A nice shave today with "Clown Puke", Reuzel, Duke Cannon Seneca, WCS Heritage Brush, and the Jerry Stark Viking. 3 passes and DSBBS. Finished with some CBL Barber Powder and some Quinns to boot.


At the Ranch:
A somber, and a bit guilty day, as we give honor to those that made the ultimate price for our freedoms, and did not make it home, as we did. Heading down to the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery, where my parents are also buried, as they were both Korea Vets, and to place some Poppies on their graves as well as others A small way to say THANK YOU.

Some other light errands, and date day lunch with Sharon

Have a Good Day

An English Unobtanium shave with the River Don, and an Aussie thrown in...


The Set-up of Set ups, for today's shave. Penhaligon's English Fern, and the Gillette Aristocrat British #15, as the un-obtanium, and the Castle Forbes as "The River Don" as it is to my knowledge the only Fragrance and Shave house that is located in a Castle, on the banks of the River Don in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.

3 passes with a brand new GEM blade in the Crat, and although I was a bit heavy handed, as per the Alum, it was still a DSBBS shave. Finished off with the Aussie ( Quinn's WH ), CF 1445 Balm, and the EF Talc. The Topper, of course, English Fern EDT. Glorious!

At the Ranch:
Errand day moved to today, with grocery shopping for the week. Weather is perfect, but a bit windy, as it is supposed to be cooler next week

Have a Great Day
