Suavecito Ivory Bergamot aftershave
YSL rive gauche pour homme EdT
What a wonderful shave today. Took the time to enjoy the pre-dawn morning and really slow down and enjoy the shave with the Tedalus
“Da Fat” worked beautifully and matched well with the sorrentino, with no issues in lathering. Not much is mentioned in regard to the Suavecito aftershave, however it has been a Barbershop staple for years. This has a very nice “soapy bergamot vibe”. With a hint of menthol. Good stuff
Also, it pairs very nice with what , arguably, is the best barbershop scent that has every graced this blue marble we love on
3-passes / DSBBS +p today. Was good to slow down and really enjoy not only the morning, a good cup of coffee, the puppy waking up, and a great shave
Hope your day started as good!
Have a Fantastic Friday folks!

Late afternoon Shave today, as I was putting up 300 + feet of fencing today, and no @NurseDave I do not have a Ranch Hand as we are only 7 acres, and @heysi is not too bougie, thanks to you, LOL
Anyway a wonderful afternoon shave with all good 50's stuff, except for the KAVN which hails from the 60's The President was a gift from a client and is really in NOS condition. great shaver and as a Y1 hails from 1953.
Finished off with Tabac Cologne, and now I am irresistible to all the Zoomer today,

Old Spice Shave Soap ( Shulton ca. 1964 )
Alum
Thayers Lavender
Aqua Velva Blue Aftershave

Old Spice Cologne ( Shulton ca. 1964 )
Great Tribute Shave today to the Apollo Astronauts. The Techmatic was issued to all NASA Astronauts, however only two were documented to have shaved in Space ( John Young -Apollo 10 ) and (Michael Collins - Apollo 11) The rest either did not shave or in the case of Apollo 14 Commander Alan Shepard he used a Battery powered electric.
Many folks say the techmatic is a bad shaver. I completely disagree, I t s very smooth shaver and resulted in a super shave today

Hope everyone have a Marvelous Monday!

The very first razor I owned!
Says the guy that owns the last remaining stock of blades on the planet.
I sell you some
No....I'm good. I don't even own one those razors.
What?! And you call yourself a NASAphite
I am....but that razor has proven allusive to me.

08.15.2023 Shaves Across the Decades: 1970-1980
(The Decade that Ruined Traditional Shaving)
Dual Razor Day:
Gillette Fatboy / Gillette Super Adjustable ( both with Personna Lab Blue)
Tri-Shave Foam Chemically Laden Crap:
Gillette Foamy
Barbasol
Brut Shaving Foam
Alum
Thayers Lemi4om
Brut Aftershave
Talc
Brut Special Reserve Cologne
The Things I do for My Adoring Fans.......... Yes Gents the ruination of an entire decade of shaving. So one pass with each of the Foams, and the only one that was even close to being ok, was the 1970's Brut, and actually only due to the fragrance. The razors were a tribute. The fatboy ( although 19060's era ) was for mine and my wifes dad as it was his, and my father shaved with one as well. The black Beauty is period specific and a tribute to ED, of course.
The Brut was also the power fragrance of the decade, and to this day second only to English Fern, and even that is debatable. BBS is the best I could get from the embalming foam. but in that decade folks traded good shaves, for DISCO, and convenience.
At least KISS, PINK FLOYD, Robin Trower, Ted Nugent and other decent Rock Music, drowned out the Polyester of the Disco Decade, LOL

Soloist shave soap
Alum

Soloist aftershave milk
Yardley talc
Replica Jazz Club EdT
Back to somewhat normal shaves for the week before jumping into the worst shave decade of the millenia, the 1980’s. If the 1970’s were the beginning of the death of traditional shaving, then the 80’s were the post shavepocalypse.
Will try to find an Atra or 2 blade disposable and some edge gel. BLECH!
Thankfully today’s shave was glorious. Great unobtanium stuff and a nice modern razor. The Henson continues to impress. In the end DSBBS, and I fought the urge to add some Floris Islay to the Jazz Club as it belongs on its own
It is my Monday and it started with some rain and nice cool temps in the 70’s.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Quinn’s Cucumber
Talc
Floris Islay EdP
Ahhh back to str8’s for a few days, and what better way than theTedalus. Although I use it everyday at the shop. It is nice to use it one oneself.
2nd use with the new Hombres and confirmed it is fantastic the addition of Italian fragrance to the original Hombres takes it over the top
A wonderful 3-pass DSBBS shave and with an added twist. In the old West there were indeed Scottish Cowboys! Most famously, Jesse Chisholm, hence his namesake the “Chisholm Trail.
So that was all the excuse I needed to add the Floris Islay to the “Old West” shave with some “Chisholm” to boot!
Have a nice day folks

Just a quick question.........The Hombres Spaghetti Western soap is currently available on www.cblsoap.com ....but the aftershave tonic is not. When will the tonic be available???
You will have to ask Chris however, I’ve got both here in the shop if you’d like to purchase it here locally you can PM me on that
