Its called a conjugal visit.....use your time wisely, big boy.

Azzaro Wild Mint
Well…. Back to the cell after a wonderful conjugal visit with CV Heljestrand, Darwin, and a Ferrari.
The degradation of the feather is more apparent now after shaving with a straight that had just been honed. The Pro Guard is still doing well, just getting a tad “tuggy”.
The star of the show today was the Azzaro. I was bummed that 1962 by Floris is no longer available, even though I do have two bottles. As with most Floris special editions, once they are gone, they are gone. Good news is this Azzaro Wild Mint is close, very close. Now
If we can find an English Fern -a-like we would be Golden
Good shave today, with the bonus that I can begin to see the bowl through the puck. So, parole cannot be far away
Have a great day

Quinn’s Lavender
Swiss Pitralon Aftershave
Ferrari Noble Fig EdP
Yardley Talc
Switched back to the Tedalus today. The feather blade for some reason seems smoother in this than the Vector. More than likely the physics of each way the blade sits in the razor. I am excited that my parole from Williams prison may be sooner than expected. Although not in donut stage, it is becoming a bit thinner and more translucent…. YAY!
The Swiss Pitralon is only bested by Speick in protection and fade feel. It has a nice pear, fig, and a botanical fragrance, and was a perfect match for the Ferrari Noble Fig. The frag is on the lighter side, but has fantastic projection, and has a nice fig. The notes are
Billed as unisex, it is a very nice daily wear Parfum
Good 3-pass shave as DSBBS
Have a great Saturday!

Ahhh, the translucency of the Puck is really showing so the reality of Parole from Williams Prison is near. Today was a Fantastic shave with the SV 70th as the star. In my top 2 of frags, and just perfectly Italian. Actually brought out the Thayer Lemon to play today as well. DSBBS all the way.
( Video to follow )
Today is my Saturday #1 and the agenda today is Homefries with onions, Scrambled eggs and refried beans home made tortillas and coffee for the finality if the Carb laden "antidiabetic" birthday week, before I climb back on the wagon so to speak. A TSC zoom call later, 74 degrees and sunny, will make for a perfect Sunday.
Have a Blessed Sunday Folks.

Cold One Aftershave Milk
Yardley
Floris Elite
Request shave today by @Luecke3262 ... Well not the shave but the brush. To be "Matchy Matchy" however, needed to bring out the cola accoutrements. Sadly not the soap, as I am still in prison, but parole may only be a few days away, as the puck in now a translucent sliver in the bowl ( see video). The shave itself was wonderful as the Feather slogs on, Splashed on all good things cola, the Elite by Floris made it more of a Cube Libre type of shave...DSBBS all the way.
Barber errand day today... Bank, Fuel, Pro-Shop, and then to give Clarice a bath. Then home for Laundry duty and T-Bone Steaks on the Grill. So not a bad 2nd Saturday.

ITS OVER! The last remnants of the Williams Disintegrated into the bowl and brush today, YAY!!!
I knew I would be the 1st out, as I loaded soap very heavy during the 34 days of Captivity. It was Fun, while it lasted ( BWAHAHAHAHAHA), bit overall great shaves throughout. I kid about Williams but it is a Fantastic soap and, one of the slickest, if not the slickest. DSBBS shave today with some Archival TOBS finishing it out.
Will keep the blade going to see how far I can stretch a Pro guard, but I WILL not be using the Vector, nor the Tedalus (other than at the shop) for at least a week or more. Will be nice to dust off the straights and DE's for a change.
Thanks to @Spider and the other gang for this torture, and good luck in the contest to 100........NOT ME Thank God.

Penhaligon’s English Fern EdT
Up with the dawn patrol today, but it was brighter, the air smelled sweet, birds were happy, dog was happy, as were the Feline overlords. It must mean my 1st day of freedom from Williams!
Of course, that meant English Fern! Also, continuing to evaluate the AL-13M. The best comparison is the ASD2. A bit more aggressive, but not much. It glides nice, however shave angle is a bit more horizontal and the weight is so light that it takes getting used to
The Royal Fougere is much sharper than the EF, however with the EF talc is smooths out
A perfect start to the day.
Have a great day folks

All I can say is….I am shocked…
@NurseDave - all that conniving and convincing us that we need to get on the Floris bandwagon…….and what is the first thing he reaches for after his stint in captivity? Penhaligons. Like this wasn’t his plan already to hoard it all.
