Great entry Dave! Another good way to start the day is pie!

Glad the new soap is agreeable so far.

Thanks Chris, it worked for me. Salad for lunch to make up for it

Dave I absolutely love that Disco Beehive and when I was looking at the pics for the latest drop that was the one I was mostly drawn to! Congrats on the pick up! You said it's your first high rise...how does it perform versus the regular beehive?

Thanks Don. It has more heft/weight as you would expect and more comfortable shape to hold with big hands. Still like my LE Beehive but glad to have this addition.

Potato salad?

Potato salad?

Zaxby house salad and water..... I was good for a change.

 

[Dave in KY]

I didn't have the gorgeous view @Cvargo had though

 

[Cvargo]

Zaxby's is good, but at least here they have kept increasing their prices.

That’s not a salad...Where’s the bacon?!

All caught up Dave. I missed a lot! Cheesecake, straights, funky disco brushes, lunch salads....I need to stop working so much at work so I can stay tuned in!

2019 Shave # 111 ( 164 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Vector
Blade: Schick Pro-line P30 (?)
Brush: TSC Anniversary Brush
Soap: SBSW Coffee Spoons
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Skin Bracer

So Video is uploading and will be in the VLOG section. Replacement head for my Vector came in and I wanted to give it some time after waiting for my own to use. AMAZING effortless shave and is a AC SE RAD Killer for me without a doubt. Love it. Went with some Coffee and Spoons from Storybook Soapworks gifted by @NurseDave At 1st sniff I was getting an ashtray type scent but on second inspection it's coffee with some chocolate to my nose and the ashtray must have just been an association of coffee and cigarettes in my mind. It really came across similar to Stirling Iced Coffee after giving it more time and lathering it. Nice lather whipped up by the TSC Anniversary brush and a GREAT shave topped with some Humphrey's Maravilla and Skin Bracer. Have a great day Cadre !!

 

[GearNoir]

Nothing like a morning coffee and cigarette!

Hope the day is off to a good start!

 

[Cvargo]

Soap that smells like an ashtray? No thanks!

HEY YOU! He said at first sniff.

2019 Shave # 112 ( 165 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Vector
Blade: Schick Pro-line P-30 (?)
Brush: Paladin 26mm HR Beehive Disco
Soap: Clown Puke (mix mash of samples)
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva

WOW what a shave. Went with the Clown Puke puck and this is an Elite puck of samples that plays soooo well together. The Vector impresses me more and more with each use and each stroke. Today may be one of the closest and best shaves with ZERO (as in my hits from @NurseDave Bingo calls) and I mean ZERO irritation I've ever had. My face feel would make any Dolphin jealous. Have a great day Cadre !!!
