Another Shaving Journal

Wow, that’s lucky man. I think many hospitals will be using every able body they can get at some point.

They are aiming to control its spread by reducing the numbers of people gathering together. Rumors are flying around that there is a positive case in town, but it hasn't been reported on the news, so who knows? Preventive measures make good sense.

I could get more shaves from this soap, but I don't like chasing scraps around the tub, so off they go to become a My Special Blend 4 ingredient.

It gives it a thin level of SIR Fougere.

Thought they were banana slices for a second...

Soap courtesy of @Dave in KY. Great lather and glide, but a little light on cushion. It smells fantastic! BBS with a new blade. Ready to enjoy the day.

It smells fantastic!

Darn tootin’! And you ain’t never heard a cowboy complaining about lack of cushion.

 

[GearNoir]

Yeehaw!

• Blackland Vector/Schick Proline (2)
• GTB splash

Second use of CF soap. Decent soap, but not elite for me, so I won't be buying any. Thanks for the samples, @Dave in KY . Easy Street smells like a mossy rain forest, which I like. BBS.

Elite soaps never fail. Luxurious, creamy lather. This is a perfect leather scent, reminiscent of my childhood Tandy leather working kit. I'm going to enjoy this puck.

Everyone at work seems to be on edge: my county had four known cases by lunchtime, restaurants and bars are closed, and the liquor & wine stores closed for two weeks this evening. Elective surgeries and procedures are on hold, and appointments are being rescheduled. Fun times. Stay safe out there, Cadre.

Nice shave! Stay safe!

Be safe Bruce!

Thank you, gentlemen. Much of my work day is spent in an office, usually by myself. I have two roommates, but they spend most of their day elsewhere. We are well.

Loving this soap. Pairs beautifully with GTB splash. Rinsing this lather out of the nubby bowl requires effort - it is so thick and creamy it holds on tight. Kudos to @LNHC for another great soap. Love one, you'll love them all.

In unrelated news, Sheri came home with (new) toilet paper! It's at the Giant Eagle grocery store in McIntyre Square in McCandless, a few miles north of town. One 12-roll pack per customer. I'd suggest you hurry. That is all.

Glad your missus happened upon a stash! Add it to the retirement fund!

We're all set. We'll be giving some to our son who can't find it anywhere. My wife's friend in Japan said they went through the same shortage there a few weeks back, but supply caught up with demand. This will sort itself out in time.

Leather and GTB, mmmmmm...

Have a good one, Bruce! Tell that virus that you smell too good to get infected!

Maybe I should be using Plague Doctor...

I knew I smelled something awesome in the air!

Great shave, enjoying a Cadre Friday, and it's my birthday to boot! Carrot cake and home-roasted Sumatran Peaberry coffee for breakfast. Life is good.
