Royall Musk Cologne

Always a fun shave with the Cola theme, especially the brush. Good lather, good slickness and that cola scent reminds one of the ice cold flu fountain colas from the past.
Have not shaved with the Fatboy for a bit, so it was nice to have it run around the face. Finished up with Royall Musk, which compliments the cardamom in the soap

Kona did his normal treat, wag, bag to bed salute and another busy week at the shop begins

Hope everyone has a great day!

The Gillette two days in a row? Am I becoming a minimalist? Oh No! Do I have the “meh” virus?

The. DEETS, as our brother @MilkCrate so often says

Hahahahha no chance in Hades! Just a great razor and being rushed for time this morning. It was a late night at the shop, and when I got home, I literally collapsed. Did not even change over the. SOTD for the month…

Anyway today was a recharge shave and with the PCN V. It was perfect. The 2nd shave on the Lab Blue was also great. Finished with all the good accoutrements and topped off with a bunch of Vasilli’s of AdG

Hope you have a Terrific Thursday!

Am I becoming a minimalist?

It exists within us all. Some of us foster it and let it flower, while in others it remains dormant. Perhaps it is awakening within you?

Happy Saturday folks. Well, I finally broke the curse of the minimalist demon “Woodbrucesambeardpusher” and thank God! @woodpusher @Graybeard57

A very nice straight razor shave with the Fili. A trip from Southern Spain, across the Med with Stirling, and landing in Italy with the Omega, made it a truly international shave.

3-passes and a good DSBBS finish. Some Quinn’s and Talc topped it off for a great start to my “Friday” at the shop

Kona was in his normal out-in-cookie-tail wag-back to bed mode today. Starting to warm up here on the ranch, but so far a pretty mild start to June, however our final approach to the Sun is starting LOL.

Just a reminder that today is the last day to enter my 1000 subscriber giveaway on YouTube. Check it out

Have a great Saturday folks!

Au contraire, Mon ami it’s a clear beautiful day blue skies unicorns prancing around Sasquatch’s picking flowers, oh, wait a minute, that might be Chad, or wait a minute that may have been the methadone I took. Anyways, I am demon, free, and back to the Shaving of reckless abandon lol

Happy blessed Sunday Folks. A very early morning shave, as of course, could not sleep in, so 0445 I was up dodging Cats, and dogs sprawled over the Bed, and floor, on my way to the coffee maker, ugh. Had a nice cup of Peets, and watched the sunrise over the Catalina Mtns, and then discovered that a brush fire had started neat the Biosphere2 about 10 miles as the crow flies. Luckily, is has only burned about 30-acres, and seems to be contained. It is that time of year, when we sit on pins and needles living out in the rural sticks neat the mountains. So a walk of the property today to begin the "defensible space) chores.

Anyway, Lime was the frag of the day, as we approach the sun, and nothing better. @Joe Hackett and Stirling make on fo the best limes out there for sure and today was a perfect shave. added a bit of lemon at the post and all was well. Had a test run of the new DrinksnDaves channel on Youtube and posted my shave video as well and our 1000 subscriber Giveaway, and a TSC member won! Congrats @BowtieRN . Look forward from hearing from you!

Hope you all have a great day
