Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

I mean...it would't be a day started right for you Dave without coffee and a muffin...right? With everyone bantying about with SV 70 lately...I wonder Why I don't have some!
 
Did a double take on the SOTD pic then I saw the muffin and knew it was the Kentucky Dave taking the photo. Great stuff indeed!

2019 Shave # 86 ( 141 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6c Plate 4
Blade: Merkur Super(1)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Harlequin Chief
Soap: Barrister and Mann Patches
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Barbasol Pacific Rush

Received this soap not to long ago and hadn't tried it yet. Nice shave although not a favorite performer. Nice scent which is a subdued Strawberry. Not overly sweet to me and strong scent during the shave and dissipates quickly after rinsing. I also had gifted to me a 100 pack of Merkur blades and comments were they are terrible blades. After seeing another member @Somnos using it with success I figured I owed them a try. Just my first use but no drama. A smooth shave although I don't think they're the sharpest. At this point I would put with Sputnik and Voskhod's but we'll see as we go forward with more use. Just goes to show you, you can't always go by what works for or doesn't for others. Use it as a guide as you sample it yourself. Topped off with the Pacific Rush and just loving this stuff. Glad I got a few bottles of it left. Nearing the end of the month on my work and rained out today so I'll do what can with neglected things around the house. Have a great day Cadre !!

Thanks for sharing again today Dave! How does the scent of that soap work out for you. On first thought I think the Strawberry, Basil, and Black Pepper sound like they might work well. But wanted a professional's Opinion!

You'll need to look elsewhere for a Professional Opinion. My opinion is while not one I would have picked out, I'm glad it was in a lot that I acquired. I enjoyed the scent as it wasn't a heavy syrupy strawberry. I'll use it from time to time but more importantly the wife likes it !!

But I've been productive. Already been to the Clerks Office to see what's needed for the guy buying my Jon boat etc from out of state. Couldn't get the proper pee stream from the motor when on the muffs because there wasn't enough water flow (I know I set myself up with this one) so put the motor in a barrel of water to start and check everything (Running good-check) Quick run to Wally World and back home. Catch up on a little before more fires to put out and I will be going out around 5;30 tonight for a floor job so I can sleep past 2 am tomorrow..............I'm tired already..........not really
