Today's Shave is Brought to you by the Letter...
"B" is for Bay Rum and Big Fellow!
Razor: Gillette Big Fellow
Blade: Voskhod (New Blade)
Soap/Cream: Stirling Soap Company - Bay Rum
Brush: Synthetic Shave Brush by Eric Sorrentino (@Smattayu )
The Penultimate Aftershave: Danger Elixir
The Ultimate Aftershave: Grand Bay - Bay Rum
Today's shave is brought to you by the letter "B." And what better way to celebrate the Letter B than with Bay Rum! And Big Fellow! So I loaded up some Stirling Bay Rum Soap and did a nice two passer with my Big Fellow! This is such an awesome razor and it looks awesome too! Got this razor for a steal (and a little luck)...but she's all mine! I have seen few in similar or better condition and fewer still that have the box and blade bank. Yeah...this bad boy is all mine! I'll add a couple of pics of the whole ensemble! Finished off the shave with a nice splash, or two, or three of the Grand Bay Bay Rum. This scent doesn't stick around long, so it shouldn't interfere with the wife's super snooter.

By the way Don.... I love the Letter People! I remember having inflatable Letter People in my kindergarten classroom. My favorite was Mr. S - Super Socks!
Yup...I was a Letter People guy myself! No one here has any idea what they are...but I remember!

Today's Shaves are brought to you by the Letter C!!!
C is for Clubman
Love it or hate it, you gotta give it respect for the fact that it's been going strong since 1810, Today I did the full monty; Clubman shampoo, deodorant, aftershave & talc. The PAA shave soap isn't a direct match for the splash. It's more along the lines of the shampoo and deodorant. Still, if you were to use it, you'd know what it was going for.
PAA "The Cube 2.0" w/ Menthol
PAA "Clubguy" Shave Soap
Stirling Soap Co. High Mountain White Badger Brush
1961 Gillette FatBoy
Gillette Nacet Blade
Alum
PAA Unscented Star Jelly
Pinaud Clubman ASL

Soap/Cream: Ariana & Evans - Choco Cubano
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
The Penultimate Aftershave: Danger Elixir
The Ultimate Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Choco Cubano
It's a "C" Shave today! And Choco Cubano got the call! Double "C" in it's name...so I had to use it. I like the way this soap smells...green leaf tobacco and chocolate. From the soap make himself, the notes are: Bergamot, tangerine, vanilla, fig, chocolate truffle, incense, cedar, sandalwood and tobacco. But just a great scent! My wife likes the scent...but says it smells like Easter Candy! Anyway...a nice two pass shave and I smell and feel great!
