STARDATE: AD 20180417- SR shave #905

Pre-Shave Lather Hot Towel & Rinse / 50 Laps T. Miller Strop pre-shave
30 laps Trans Ark / 25 laps English Linen / 50 laps Westholme
Lucky Tiger Post Shave Salve / Cold Towel & rinse

BRW 5/8 Ghost Jade
Doug Korn D7 / TGN Finest
Mystic Water Barbershop Shave Soap
Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Splash
YSL rive gauche pour homme EdT

Uneventful shave today, all actors doing their part in unison. Soap / brush / Razor / Post shave items, all danced together to create a nice "barbershop" shave. Although Michelle's Take on barbershop is not my favorite it is still nice very similar to Rod's at Stirling.

3-passes today and DSBBS. FWIW here are the rankings a few of my favorite Barbershop soaps

1. WSP Barbershop
2. CBL Clubman
3. B&M Seville
4. Maggards London Barbershop
5. Mystic Water Barbershop
6. Stirling Barbershop

Set-up today:



Have a Great day Folks
 
Nice shave today, Dave! I enjoy Michelle's take on Barbershop as well..just wish I could coax it to be a stable lather!
 
Just wait until Dave decides to make his own barbershop scent. That would be quite interesting knowing all the products he's used in the past and present.

Point of technical clarification. GTB is listed as a barber shop scent. 10 yard penalty and reduction of that shave to DFS+ for not including it on your list.

LOL Dave, GTB is in a class by itself to me, not a traditional Barbershop at all, but the evolution of same.
 
Great shave and picture Dave!
Glad to the the Maggard's London Barber shop on your list, since I'm somewhat responsible for that.

Kinda surprised not to see Fine American Blend on there.
 
All caught up, Dave. Great set ups and pics! Although, in your favorite "barbershop" scented soaps, I see that you absentmindedly omitted Mike's Barbershop, the single greatest barbershop scented soap of all times (Muhammad Ali's voice).

Oh, and yes, the Mystic Water Jasmine is simply awesome - the greatest retail floral scent out there, IMHO.
