Like you don’t Mr. sedan
I had a 1979 fast back 302 , 5 liter . The first year of fox body. My mom and dad had mustangs growing up too. My mom had a 67 notch back. My dad had 65, 66, and 67 gt350 and gt 500 Shelby's. When I was born I was brought home in one of dads 67 Shelby's .. Dad says when I got my mustang he got to experience a "2nd youth " through mine . He was always bringing stuff home for my mustang. He got the rear spoiler and the louvers for the back hatch and a center console for it and new rims and other stuff when I had it.. The center console is often credited with saving my life when a car stopped in the middle of the road and I swerved to miss it and hit an indention in the road and the mustang flipped about 4 or 5 times and came to rest back on it's wheels about 3 or so feet from a bridge that if it had hit there I would have wound up in a lake... I grabbed ahold of the console and held on to it with my face tucked down towards the console and seat as the car rolled...
Yep no cares in the world but cars, girls and Cruising LOL

Tedalalus / Feather Pro-Guard
Sorrentino Corleone / Synth
LNHC/TSC Barbershop shave soap
Alum
Quinn’s Lavender
WSP Barbershop Aftershave
WSP Barbershop EdP
Dug through the archives today and found this combo that had not been used in awhile. I used to use WSP quite often, but over time it got shuffled to the back. The Tedalus gave a fantastic shave today.
A splash of Lavender followed by what is a pretty good take on a barbershop scent, but as most are, a bit too powdery but still very nice. Not rive gauche, but a nice frag
A bit quieter at the shop today, only 13 appointments today so not bad.
Looking forward to the new season of Star Trek Strange New Worlds this evening.
Have a Terrific Thursday folks!

SV 2.0 Tortoise / HMMW
SV Cosmo Shave Soap / Aftershave
Alum
Quinn’s Lavender
Talc
Eucris EdT
Spacey Goth today LOL
SV Cosmo is a nice spicy citrus with some dark earthy notes. Typical SV performance, and the only one in the cool black containers. The Faux tortoise got the call up today, and again typical SV.
For removal duties, was the grail. The 1151 as as always it is so sharp it can cut space/ time. Finished off with Lavender and the goodness of the Cosmo aftershave. A bit of talc and onto the Goth, or Eucris! Floral earthy and just classic!
Hope everyone had a fantastic Friday!

Saturday Shave with BarberDave

Gillette Super Adjustable / Personna
Noble Otter / Synth
Noble Otter Logbook shave soap/aftershave/EdP
Alum
Quinn’s lavender
Talc
Early morning at the shop for my Friday. So, a DE shave was in order for a quick nice 3-pass shave. Being a private pilot, and loving everything aviation it is a huge favorite of mine. Creed Aventus like, but it’s own fragrance for sure. Good depth and longevity. Performance on the soap is typical of Noble Otter and the Super Adjustable did a great job sliding around the “facetrack”
Great DSBBS shave
Have a Super Saturday folks!

Fathers Day Shave
Klas Tornblom 4/8
Sorrentino Luca Brasi / badger
PdP #63 Shave soap / Aftershave Balm / EdT
Alum
Thayers Lemon
talc
Nice relaxing mid - morning shave to day as we make our final approach to the sun
Supposed to be 104 today Blech!
This is one of those products that can be used, and just as nice in both winter and summer. Klas slid around the facetrack nicely and good DSBBS results
Interestingly the balm is a bit more “woody” and the EdT a bit brighter but oh so nice!

Hope you are enjoying your Father’s Day!

Erik Anton Berg 4/8
DeRuiter Carbon Fiber F1 / Amack Synth
Paladin Tobacco Road Shave Soap
Alum
Quinn's Lavender
British Sterling Aftershave Splash
Penhaligon's Sports Car Club EdP
Smorgaboard , and a racing theme today around the "Facetrack" All worked together though. With the DeRuiter as the Crew Chief, the Tobacco Road as the Surface, and the Sterling and Sports Car Club as the pit crew it kept the EA Berg Racecar smoothly running for a nice 3-lap DSBBS Win.
A checkered flag shave for sure.
Dear Lord! How many puns can BarberDave fit into two sentences? SHEESH

Amateur. I can get twice as many on a Watch Wars post without even trying.
Puns aside, a quality shave.

Good shave today, as Barber errand Monday, became Barber errand Tuesday due to the Holiday, so a ton of running around in the 104 degree heat blech. Supposed to be 110-115 by next week..... as Expected. M shave video is posted and please take a look...
THE KONA FILES:
Well even though it is a bit early for the Monsoon, we did have some humidity last night, and a sprinkle of rain. That being said it brings out a host of Creepy crawlies ( 9 wolf spiders, and a giant crab spider dispatched last night).... Sorry @Spider they were getting a bit too comfy. Anyway it also brings out this.....
..Yes the Colorado River Toad. They can get upward of 4-5 lbs, however they are very TOXIC, especially to Dogs. They have a toxin that they excrete from the back of their legs, and along their back which is somewhat of a mucousy of toxins that when a dog plays with them, bites, them or licks them the perverbial $%^& hits the fan. In worst case scenarios if unchecked the dog can die. We got lucky. We let Kona out for his evening patrol, and we noticed something completely off as soon as he came in the door. It should be noted that Kona is a spaz to begin with, but this was on a whole new level.
picture yourself, drunk, stoned, on acid, and mushrooms at the same time.... Ya like this. Multiply it with a crazy mutt and we have issues. For about 10- minutes he would not stop running at full speed around the house, not wanting to be caught. Finally he cam over a bit snappy with his jaws and completely dialated eyes. Not a good sign. Fortunately he was not foaming at the mouth, or displaying any seizure or lethargy activity, but immediately he was hauled off to the shower and what amounts to water boarding our dog.... copius amount of water ran though his mouth teeth, and gums to rinse off the toxins, per protocol. The rub is, while you are doing that, you cannot let him swallow or get down to his stomach or really bad things can happen.
So while Sharon has nozzle duty I went and found said frog, paying mind not to touch him, as humans can be affected the same way. Took him to the back of the property and kindly launched him Apollo style into the BLM land. Came back, called the ER for puppies, and was told we had done what we can and to watch him for a few hours, if he threw up, got more jittery, lethargic, or seizures to bring him in.
Thankfully within about 2-hours he was resting and I monitored his Vitals & breathing and he seem tired but OK, and today he is not up to 100%, but treat savy to we think he is OK.
Well that is my eventful day Hope yours was not
Cheers

Eeep!! You'll know bright and early tomorrow morning (well, that would actually be "dark and early") if he's his normal abnormal self.
