Up early? Why? Damn Circadian Rhythm! Just cannot seem to sleep in anymore, so up at 0430 and everyone and everything was snoozing away... So did all my shop Laundry, all my regular laundry. Had a cigar on the patio, some coffee watching the sun come up, let our the Duck, , Folded laundry completely rearranged the shave den and archived stuff I was not using, and still 0800. OK Cleaned the kitchen, and now I showered and shaved and it was a great one.
If you have not gotten the soap above, you need to! and once @CBLSoap.com come out with the Witch Hazel, Run don't walk to pick up Gallons of this stuff. Shaving with both of the razors today to see which one I would be more apt to grab for, at those times I don't have time to shave with an SR.. Frankly it is a tie. both are the best of the best. so much so that I archived, and placed in a display cabinet ALL my other DE and SE razors... Gone Gone Gone. Will only use the Tradere, the Blackbird, the Vector and the Osprey. In Fact the Henson AL-13M may go up as a pif, or BST, or even a YouTube Giveaway. We shall see
Topping off the shave today was Floris Elite. Not much to be added to the greatness that this stuff is, and a perfect match to the Litsea Cubeba.
The rest of the day will be relaxing, another cigar.. Or two and looking forward to the Zoom Call, where @Graybeard57 ( due to a bet ) will announce his deep love for me and the United States Air Force Falcon Football Team, after their EPIC win over the Navy. Should be fun.

Maggard's London Barbershop Shave Soap
Alum
CBL Litsea WH
Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin Aftershave
Talc
Penhaligon's Juniper Sling EdT
Just received a very nice 7-day set from @Luecke3262 as part of a trade deal, and today was the 1st run with these 5/8 beauties. JNAT edges, and perfectly smooth and scary sharp. provided a very nice DSBBS shave. This was a nice combo with the Barbershop, and Gin related items. The Thater is a workhorse, and beginning to show it's age. The Logo is long worn off.
Today's Agenda is well, a cigar or two or couse, a sushi lunch with my bride, a bit of shopping and of course the live show this evening.
Hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday

Super groggy this morning, which is not exactly the best thing when you’re a Barber and have razor Sharp shears in your hand thankfully I do not have any Shaves today and mostly clipper cuts
Sleep did not come easy for me last night, and when I did sleep, it was nightmare after nightmare after a nightmare don’t know why didn’t have any type of food that would prompt that. The only thing I can figure was the shows subject matter.
Anyway, I grabbed for the quickest razor, being the black bird and the easiest to Lather, the Proraso cream, and then just kind of trudge through three passes Still DSBBS, and off to the shop by 0615
I am sure I will sleep well tonight
Hope everybody has a good day

Replica EdT
Nice to early morning shave today, the WCS soloist and the replica are just a perfect way to start the morning especially when it’s a little bit cool outside to give you that warmth that smokiness, and what’s better to go with a jazz club than a little bit of whiskey, and a little bit of beer as the brush represents.
All in all a DSBBS, a Shave, and a great way to start the morning
Finally got better sleep last night so ready to attack the day
Hope everybody has a great Thursday

Happy Friday, Cadre, although it’s my Thursday predawn shave as usual during the work week, but the Darwin will wake you up. It’s nice lemon and lavender fragrance is very nice.
The Osprey is still proving to be one of its not the best de razors I’ve ever shave with a provided.

The Osprey is still proving to be one of its not the best de razors I’ve ever shave with, and provided a nice three pass DSBBS Shave
I was able to find a bronze paint color that matched the insert, so I stripped and repainted the numbers so it is now matching very lightly the bronze, which makes it easier to see you for old eyes LOL, when adjusting the razor, although I don’t see myself adjusting it that often
Temps in the high 40s low 50s make it a beautiful sunrise with temps only in the 70s today I have a car show on Sunday which will be fun as well
Anyway, a good start to the day I hope your day is a great one

So BabbaDabbid, what are your impressions of the Osprey? 
Equal with the Vector if it says anything
