Oh, rest, assured I am still watching the meme business is not personal it’s just businessDave may now decide to temp ban Matt for his meme antics without guilt.

Crazy busy day at the shop. Just now getting a chance to post day number three with the Darwin and it just keeps getting better and better.
Thought I would switch up the soap today as tomorrow I will do a video with the complete Darwin set
The cold one is a Coca-Cola homage, lather well and has a wonderful wonderful fragrance. When looking for a EDT it’s tough because I don’t have too many that I’ve card them however, the Penhaligon’s elixir works very well.
Little bit of talc, and a good start to the day
Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday

Quick shave this morning as it is “Barber Errand Day”. So travels all over the city for “tings”, fuel, Indian food, shopping etc
This shave was at request of a viewer, and a nice DSBBS 3-pass shave
The vintage stuff always impresses and the “dressed up” Gold Dollar did a great job. I cherish this razor as it was gifted to me by @The Monkey , so many, many years ago and was the star of the Academy Award winning Movie “The Legend of TabacaVeg”
Have a great Monday folks

Stunt Shave Tuesday. I have been dreading this shave since I raised my hand to volunteer to shave with with SRINO ( Straight Razor in Name Only ). One that has proven it's murderous intentions on my buddy @NurseDave. Although Professional, not "Ultra Professional" as myself, we both have suffered the worse injuries at the Hand of "Shavettes" The abomination of the Razor World.
As long as I was very careful and focused on the Pitch and Yaw, I was able to keep that "Death Point" away from my tender, luxurious, silk like, baby skin. Engineering on this shavette, is akin to the Engineer having too many pints in the local pub, then drinking at a Brexit Game, and then up to Scotland for a few drams, and then deciding to go to the lab and Design a razor.
Taking my time and with some close calls, I was able to get to a very nice DSBBS shave with no injuries ( hence Ulta-Professiona; vs the "Professional" level of Young Padawan @NurseDave )..... I kid...I kid.... or do I?
Anyway the saving grace was of course the Seaforth black Watch. for me a winter scent, but used for one of my viewers today to show proper lather technique.
A scary shave for sure but a conquering one as well

It’s Monday! Ok Wednesday for the common folk. Back to the shop today for a week of hair removal and luxurious shaves and beard artistry. A few fades, buzz cuts, and a flattop or three, along with the standard gentlemen cuts.
Todays shave was bright, aquatic, and finished off with a wonderful Oriental frag
3-passes with the Vector and off to the races. I will need to try a pro-line blade someday, however don’t want to buy a bunch just in case I don’t like.
Anyway, again, a great DSBBS shave for the day
Enjoy your day!
