Finally nice to have shop appointments be a little bit later. All week I’ve been at the shop by 6 AM and not leaving till about seven or 8 PM. Nice thing is today is my first appointment is not until 9 AM so I had a nice, relaxing, straight razor shave finally.

All in all, I still got to the shop by 7:30 AM, but it’s nice to be able to not rush through a shave just to get to the Barbershop.

I used the “Saturday” of my new seven day set, and with it being so light in weight, I finally got the touch right and it was a beautiful three pass DSBBS Shave. I have found that the JNAT edge is not quite as comfortable as what I’m used to in the COTI/ARK edge, but it is incredibly keen in Shaves wonderfully

It was in the high 40s this morning so I chose black watch, which is a perfect fall and winter fragrance all in all a fantastic shave to start my Friday

Hope everybody’s enjoying their weekend

Very early morning shave and Late entry into the journal. Very nice comparison shave with the Blackland Crew Spiced all the way around and with the new Personna blades it was DSBBS. Had to get "Clarice" looking good for the show. So many nice cars for the " Trunk or Treat" for the Discover Fall Fest Car show, Art Show, and Chili Cook off. The Shop was the Trophy Sponsor and the Cars from Saddlebrooke Ranch took home a good portion of the Winnings, I won the 50/50 drawing for took home some cash. A fun day. Lots of great Costumes on the Kiddos and benefits a good cause. We had about 70 cars total + lots of games and acitivities for the kids as well

Here are some pics

Nice leisurely shave today after a nice cup of coffee and Cigar out on patio. Beautiful temps this time of year with low 50's in the am and 70's in the afternoon. As the fall finally hits AZ, time for the once a year dust off of the Sandalwood extract. and all that goes with it. 3 passes today with my grail razor, and the Whiskey woods pairs beautifully with the Crabtree and Evelyn.

Barber Errand day, followed by a trip to Costco, a cigar or two and enjoying my Saturday #2

What are you giving out for treats this year? Hallucinogenic toads? Maybe just give each kid one lick on the toad, for safety's sake. And be ready for the line of teenagers that will surely form outside your front door (we're going to need a bigger toad).

We don’t get trick or treaters. The 400 feet to the house through spooky trees and a gate is prohibitive

Cool. You get to keep all the toads for yourself.

Blackland Vector / Personna
Sorrentino PIL / synth
Proraso cream
Alum
Thayers Lemon
Talc
Proraso aftershave
L’Occitan Cedrat EdP


Unlike @GearNoir ,shaving Dawn’s Crack I opted for a O’Dark thirty shave as I begin my week, or “My Monday”. Proraso is quick and easy. The Osprey continues to impress and finished up with the Cedrat

Good stuff, and hope you all have a good day and don’t forget to sign up for @AvocadoQueen’s bingo

Feather ASD2 / personna
Sorrentino
Speick shave soap/ aftershave
Alum
Quinn’s Cucumber mint
Talc
Speick Men EdT


The only razor from a DE standpoint, that I’ve added to my lineup of Blackland razors, is the Feather ASD2. Another O’Dark 30 shave before getting to the shop at about 630 this morning so I opted for a shave stick and the king of those is Speick
Very citrusy, and almost a rubbing alcohol type, sent, but wonderful for the face with the use of the Speick plant

Three passes with the feather and BBS all over with the addition of the Speick men EDT. A perfect way to start the day.

Hope you have a great day as well

I love Speick, but its fleeting presence disappointed me. Moot point now.

I use it more for the convenience and the skin properties

Yeah, it's good stuff. Never used the stick, but had a couple of pucks, and the AS and even a bottle of EdT. After awhile, I just moved on and tried other stuff.

11.02.2023 “Lazy Shaves Continues”

Blackland Vector / Personna
Graydog Keyhole / synth
Palmolive shave stick
Alum
Quinn’s Cucumber Mint WH
Irisch Moos aftershave
Clubman talc
Floris 1962 EdP

Another how fast can I get it done, and have it still be a nice non goop/cart shave. Shave stick to the rescue, and Palmolive being one of the best and most economical. A nice fresh soapy sent with a hint of green. Match perfectly with “Da Moos” and the lemongrass, spearmint of the 1962 by Floris

The Vector sped around to complete its mission and a nice DSBBS shave resulted

Out the door racing the sun around the mountain, and was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise over the lake as I got to the shop

My Thursday will be a good one and for most you, headed to your weekend to begin

Hope it is a good one for you and yours!

 

[woodpusher]

That's a GREAT soap!
