Cold, windy, rainy, dark clouds, and dreary. Sounds like a perfect day for Scottish Highland shaves.

Soap, aftershave, EDT is fantastic, provides a great shave, and a wonderful medium for the Osprey to fly around

The Osprey continues to impress and very nice BBS shave

Just two days at the shop this week and then off till 2024
Hope everybody’s gonna get a chance to relax with family and take some time off of work

Have a great day

Well, California decided to handoff the rain to us, and WOW, it has been raining steadily since about 2300 hrs last night. Has to make a stop at the shop today to drop off towels, and do a super deep Floor to ceiling cleaning, so when I get back next year,I wont have to worry about any of that and good to go. Had to also do my "Barber Errand Day" today, and OMG the traffic. So the shave was an afternoon one and OOOH SOOOO good Tabac is just wonderful and 3 passes and DSBBS. Perfect for a day like today, and does remind me of Christmas.

Have a Good Day Folks!

Ya, Ya... I hobo'd it on Christmas Day. Up early ate early, fell asleep early ( like 3 pm ) woke up at 0400 today. Coffee, a cigar, some lunch and finally a shave. "Tuesday", part of the seven-day set I received from @Luecke3262 was on the agenda and it was simply PERFECT. 3 passes DSBBS-G (10). The highest rating. followed by all the co-stars and a perfect way to end the Christmas Holiday, and celebrate "Boxing Day" Whatever crazy Holiday that is from our Buddies up North.

Personally I think it is to celebrate Back bacon, Racoons, Chess and dandelions. right @woodpusher ?

The rest of the day is..... Well,,,,, more lounging, more cigars, maybe some tequila, and laundry... what a life!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Very nice Shave today. Sure to Miss Dale and VCS Soap. This is a real unique fragrance profile with Cherry, Rum, and Smoke. Nice and strong, but not to mus sweetness from the cherry. It matches very well with Swiss Pitralon and the Jazz Club for the smokiness component, but with just enough sweetness to not destroy the Cherry notes.

The razor set is continuing to impress and providing smooth DSBBS shaves. An old thread reemerged on the use of Lather wipers, Sponges and so forth, commented a bit on my video. All in all a good morning. Now going to work on a Metal Earth model of the Space Shulttle and Launch pad, that the boss got me for Christmas. Should be fun

Have a great day

Another nice shave in the books for a Friday. The journey continues with the 7-day set and is a whole bunch of Fun. The edges are very consistent (Thanks @Luecke3262 ) and have been mellowed a bit on the Linen Strop. The Cold One shave soap and accompanying software is the perfect homage to cola. 3 passes and DSBBS. Classed up the joint with the Floris, and it pairs very nicely with the Cola notes of Cardemom. A new Giveaway on the Channel today for hitting 1200 subscribers A barely used Henson AL-13M in a Bronze Tone, with stand, and some Persona Bladed and you can enter too. How?

Well, after getting over the metal image of @GearNoir in "Depp" Jeans and a trip to both the eyewash, and brain bleaching station at the C.E.C. It was time for an epic shave. Down to the Donut in the AdP and it is still a good soap. Not fantastic, but good. Worth the $75? Well that is a matter of opinion, but I will probably re-stock this as the fragrance "mind erases" the Cost.

Sadly, as of current, I do not have the "Matchy Matchy" Colonia Intensa aftershave nor EdP, due to the AdP incident of 2022, where a Shave Den Catastrophe broke both bottles in a avalanche of sorts and shattered both bottles. Sadly the juices were not salvagable, as the glass used was not tempered and literally became powder. The thought of rubbing Glass laden aftershaves, did not bode well, however it would have made for an interesting although Crimson Video.

Anyway, the Fine and Boellis stood in well until I can convince myself to replace. The shave itself was very nice and was nice to use the Forum Brush again. Still a winner and stunning to look at.

All it all a DSBBS shave and the Boellis Panama is just heavenly!

Enjoy your Satruday Folks!
