BarberDave's Shaveapalooza

Well my system gives them 4 reminders. One when appt is set, one 48 hrs in advance, one 24 hrs in advance and day of. So the old age card does not work and most of these were in their 30’s and 40’s
Well there’s yer problem. They blocked you for spamming. 🤣
 
I mean there are also some very nice houses in the 1 million range in St Aug also.. The prices are crazy all over the place. I think people are just charging whatever they want and not sticking to Any set trend. Then at our Regular home a million will get you some really nice places too..... I don't understand people's thoughts on what they price stuff at sometimes.

So... WTH? Well, one of my Youtube viewers thought a fun series of videos would be a good idea, if the wife picked all the items for the shave for the next series of shaves, and videos. What could go wrong? Rules are, that I cannnot see the items before the morning of the shave. Well so far so good for day one, and a great pick.

No arguments with the Razor and Brush, and honestly with the rest of the stuff. Really a perfect combo, and me thinks........ That is was the calm before the train wreck, LOL

DSBBS and a great way to start a Sunday.

(Video posted soon)

Hope everyone have a Blessed Sunday

Well, so far the Hammer has not fallen on this series of shaves, where @AvocadoQueen is choosing all the components. In fact today exceeded yesterday. Being the Fact that we are going to get "crispy" today ( 110-115 degrees ), and although not @heysi 's Las Vegas Hot, once you are over 110 it really does not matter much, other than overall "doneness of the crispiness" Sadly I have to go out in this as it is the famous "BARBER ERRAND DAY" A trip to the bank, Sam's Club for Fuel and somethings, but then right home to cool off and get ready for the LIVE Drinks & Daves show this evening.

Sharon wanted me to at least feel refreshed, and you actually put limes on burnt Carne Asada, so I guess there is that. I had not used the CBL/Ethos soap in a bit, and for some reason it lights me up a bit, unlike any of @CBLSoap.com other lime items. The skin food does not effect me, but I assume there must be some ingredient that is shared, or the soap was packaged young. I have the same issue with any Rose / Cinnamon soaps as well. Not a bad light up, but enough to know it. Aside from that minor issue the soap performs as one you expect from this collab. Fantastic.

The Stark is a scary "Odin" level fright with a non-muted point. So situational awareness is key with this beast, or that point will and has taken skin prisoners, with its share of blood tributes to the Viking Gods. I guess the Runic symbols on the spine are no help, and in his jest my friend Jerry Stark probably engraved "Eat at Joes" knowing I would never translate, LOL.

So a good DSBBS shave with Two Aftershaves. Lime, Lemon, and Bergamot goodness. Some Fun made of @NurseDave in my video today as well

Quick shave this morning as I told I client I would come in a bit early, but a bit of extra cheddar was required, he agreed, so a DE was on the agenda

This combo always brings a smile as I look at the brush

Surprisingly the fig matched well with the cardamon in the cola. A nice refreshing shave for a 111 degree day

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Good shave today, with the shave soap that never ends. This soap was purchased at a store that no longer exists, and will probably be here long after we are. I have had the tub for years and it barely shows a 16th of an inch of use.

Good fragrance and a good partner with the Tradere. Perfectly smooth and DSBBS

Hope you have a terrific Thursday

Picture if you will, it is early after the Bombing at Pearl Harbor. You just got transferred to Clark Airbase in the PI from Hickam field in HI. It’s a down day and you and your crew are that the beach. Warm beer, Kailua pork on the grill cooked by the Cap, and your flight crew enjoying the Tradewinds. As you swing in your hammock thinking of your girl back home, you know now that your here you will see some action in the Solomon’s and more soon.

So a nice shave is in the works. This shave homage to those crews and the the sights and sounds

Bamboo, ginger, and coconut gives you a taste of the islands. Those that remember the movie “The Final Countdown” will appreciate the reference as the Blackbird touches down. IMHO probably, the most efficient and aggressive Safety Bar DE. Love it!

Finished up with the normal post shave items and a period aftershave with the Skin Bracer, and Clubman talc. And topped off with Azur Lime

Great Shave! Hope yours was too!

Have a fantastic Friday Folks!!
 
My grandfather got sent to Hawaii from Saipan after their Co-pilot got killed on patrol. They spent a week on R & R at the Royal Hawaiian hotel relaxing on the beach and drinking warm beer waiting for their new co-pilot. Only time he didn't hate being hot during the war.
