Nice relaxed shave in the early pre dawn morning. A favorite combo with the 5/8 Fili just being typical of the JMP versions of this razor, perfect.

All the players, were perfectly cast this morning for a great start to the day

I am not looking forward to my “Shaves of the Decades” this weekend, as we are 1980-1990 and we know what that means…….

Cart and gooo. YIKES!


Have a Fantatic Friday Folks!

A nice easy shave for my Friday, and a relatively normal day at the shop. A few fades, couple of flat tops, a bunch of Gentlemen cuts, a head shave, some beard work, and some regular shaves. Another normal day, but at least it ends at 3pm. For the weekend!

The shave today was really nice. It had been a bit since I used the Stella, but very nice. The Blackbird is always nice and efficient for a DSBBS shave

Finished up with the Seneca, which for a drugstore brand, is actually very nice, and almost EdP strength and a good match for the Stella Aplina

Hope everyone has a nice Saturday

Shaves Across the Decades: 1980-1990

08.20.2023.jpg
Well the day finally arrived. As we continue our series for YoutTube, Part 10........ The Disposable / Cart and Blue Goo..... OR just a Tuesday for @woodpusher LOL) The Ultimate "MEH" shave. I did not have a Gillette Atra, so I hunted for the closest I could find, and probably used something like this, in the Decade of the Death of Shaving. 3 passes and not even DSBBS, BBS, or DFS... We shall call it a shave.....That is loose on even that. No alum, no WH, No Talc! How did we survive for 3650 days in this shave desert?

The only saving grace was the Brut, and I will say the 1980's did have POWER FRAGRANCES, such as polo Green. Put it on in 1980 and you will still smell it in 2023!

Anyway...... ( Video Posted)

Have a Nice Sunday!
 
One makes do with what one has at hand. I've most likely shaved with much worse than what you used today.
meh to I just could not bring myself to use it, and as we are of the same ages we probably suffered through much, one of us broke through though, LOL

It’s all about Beer @heysi , and lemony goodness @NurseDave
If @CBLindsay and @CBLSoap.com has a swan song Hombres Dos , and more so Litsea Cubeba. It is absolutely the best in all categories. If you like lemon, lemongrass, and French Cedrat then this combo is for you

The soap has a strong pungent lemongrass and when matched to the sweeter Cedrat it makes everything come together with almost a Lemon IPA feel to it, hence the beer brush

Great DSBBS shave with the Tradere

Have a great Wednesday folks

A very nice Pre-dawn Italian shave today. We are back in the triple digits this week so light, lemony, and Fresh is the shave components

No one does Citrus better than the Italians. By far the Ti, if the most efficient and aggressive DE I own. It is perfect

So…DSBBS as expected. And it is my Friday!!! YAY!

Have a good Saturday folks!
