Artisan Retailer / Hobbyist Appreciation Shave of the Day

This past weekend was our 10th anniversary and it was certainly made better by the scents and quality shaves made possible by @CBLindsay . Dragons Blood is what my lady wants and Dragons Blood is what she got. She even enjoyed some bespoke Witchy Woman.

Well Happy Belated anniversary.. It looks like we both had a big weekend with your Anniversary and my Birthday Both.. Great weekend that was.... My wife and I will have our Anniversary on Nov. 7.. We will be celebrating 24 years.....
 
Okay...so not exactly an SOTD. But it's a purchase from one of our Hobbyists that I want to show off. I purchased this knife custom to me from Shawn @ShawnF and I could not be happier! It might not be a razor...but it is certainly sharp enough to shave with it! Handle is in Black Walnut. Pictures do not do this justice at all. Love the sheath that came with it and if I could make this my EDC...I most certainly would! Because of where I work...I will have to resort to this being my weekend knife!

Love this so much! Thank you Shawn!

@CBLindsay / CBL's "Hombres Barber Shop" for today's session. Love the scent and the performance was top notch as well. Great post-shave face feel. Three passes resulted in a DFS++ finishing with the matching aftershave tonic and a spray of Stetson EdC. The Stetson and Hombres scents complement each other nicely IMO.

Just an all around great experience - very well blended - and you do get that sea spray kind of feel to this soap and tonic. Also adding to the experience is my new Stirling brush- so bravo to all. To paraphrase my hero growing up - I highly recommend it-

Good morning Cadre. Hope you're having a great weekend.

"Dread Pirate Roberts".. Damn fine soap! @CBLindsay knocked it out of the park with this one. Need to get the matching After Shave Tonic.. Hammam Spa worked well enough. Very complementary scent.

Hope you have a great day. :)
