Another Shaving Journal

Brian @Scuttlesoap , I neglected to mention that today I'm wearing a #21 Clemente Pirates' t-shirt. I'm a fan with VERY low expectations these days. Fans here are back to hoping we might one day (year) play .500 ball again.

.500 baseball?

The winning half, please. If history is any indication, it will pass through the Pirates' organization in a couple of years, and end up the property of the Yankees.

We'll see. It will take ownership committed to putting a winning team on the field.

They are playing well tonight - so far my Phils have stranded 6 base runners - including bases loaded in the first and a great double play by you guys in the 2nd.

I forgot to show this to you - this is from I think the Thursday game……..apparently this series has a nickname

• CBL Soaps hemp base unscented (2)
• Maggard tuxedo synthetic
• Stirling Travel Bowl
• Gillette 1946-7 Aristocrat/Personna Super blade (5)
• DSC Post Shave Cream

This Personna blade continues to please with effortless shaves, aided by the excellent lather. Honestly, Chris's @CBLindsay soaps are so easy to lather it's hard to imagine not getting great lather each time. Some soaps require effort to produce the lather you want, but not CBL. Today found me whipping it longer than necessary, simply because I'm so accustomed whipping up other soaps longer. Enjoy your shaves!

Two games in a row your Bucs have taken my Phils to the 10th inning! It has been an exciting series

"Exciting" hardly begins to describe it. "Losing" is a more accurate term, from my perspective.

The excellence continues! Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday Bruce!

Last shave on this blade. Seven quality shaves with minor tugging on the last - not bad.

7 is a good number. BTW Amazon has a sale on the powdered version of your cologne right now; just add water, shake it up and BOOM! You're all set.

Thanks for the tip!

Is that the EDT or EDP version of the Brüce brand fragrance?

Both the toilet and perfume are scented ; this is the EDE (eau d'eau)

 

[Graybeard57]

Is that the EDT or EDP version of the Brüce brand fragrance?

Yes. I apply it liberally to ensure everyone nearby can't smell it. Amazing stuff.
