The color of the day and shave is Orange!
What could be better than Tangerine & Mandarin
The final shave with the now extinct THB Tangerine Creeper soap, unless I can find some in the wild, or secret stash. A great lather provided by Mr. Sorrentino and wipe clean with the Vector
Great finish with some talc and Royall Mandarin Cologne
have a great day folks

Just a couple of days before the big camping trip up to the lake in the mountains, so I thought an aquatic shave would be in order
Wanted something quick and easy today and not have to think about it so of course the feather ASD2 was in order with a persona blade
Although not exactly aquatic, the Tsc con clown puke. Soap has some aquatic notes in it.
Continuing with the all blue shave, aqua Velva, as the aftershave is always just a classic. Followed with some talc, and Royall Yacht EdT. This fragrance shows shades of Bleu de Chanel, but add its own spicy personality to this oceanic fragrance
Hope everybody has a wonderful Friday

So we've reached the end of June.....the challenges have all been met and mastered. The fun level was up in the very high level.
But we still have one more shave........
So what theme should we throw out to the matchy-matchy man??? He's covered all the colors these past few weeks....he's pulled off european journeys and retro flashbacks.....with stops along the way to the desert southwest. He's proven his ability to pull from his vast den and make a theme his bee-atch......
So what do I have for his final conundrum?
AVOCADOS!!!!!
Yep....I went there.
Now...I know he probably has some exotic avocado oil soap....and there's probably a scale that has a rough pebbly surface that resembles the skin of an avocado or even the supple brown of the pit in a brush handle......and the green color is a given with his den......but this challenge will be a complete failure if @AvocadoQueen does NOT appear in the shave video. Anything less.......BOOOOOOO!!
Lets finish this month strong.

Final day at the shop before the inaugural trip of the “DogHouse” named in honor of the Dog that precipitated the purchase of the Motorhome….
Kona!
So a fresh scent and a favorite set up. The Osprey was called up today and a great DSBBS shave was attained
Some cucumber mint WH, talc, the PcN Verde aftershave. And AdG to top it all off
A great finish to the week , now off to the mountains and lake, maybe a silly hat to make @CVargo feel better, but absolutely NO dark socks and Sandals…. We leave that to Chad!
Have a nice Saturday folks

AVOCADO!
Well, the final shave of the Crosby conundrum and he picked avocados rather than doing some boring avocado, shaving soap. Why not shave with the real thing.
Part of this is because I shaved very very early this morning and second we’re headed up to the mountains so I wanted to get an early start
Hopefully this fulfills the conundrum requirements @heysi
Also on our travels we’re going to resurrect an old time honored tradition that started on another forum and that’s right the adventures of the aristocrat 15 so take a look over on vacation for fun. Hope everybody has a great weekend.
And yes, there is a video posted of me shaving with avocados

Will watch video shortly. Right now I’m binging Jodie Foster in True Detective. Finished Masters of the Air yesterday. Been catching up on shows I’ve neglected.
Once again...you mastered this conundrum. The Avocado challenge was really just to get @AvocadoQueen on camera. We love the Queen. Her arm is a close second to actually seeing her...but we'll take it. Great job shaving with an actual avocado. I knew you might try it...but that was impressive. Did I just single handedly shut down the shave soap market? If so, I apologize to @CBLindsay .
Maybe we'll do this again from time to time.
We'll talk.

We'll talk.
Thanks for a fun month and the viewers want more!
Avocado oil is very good for the skin, so if a whole avocado can be used to shave it’s all good. Then again, the coming avocado shortage will pit avocado wet shavers against avocado toasters…a cage match worth watching
We'll chat when you you're not in the wilderness.

1st shave on the Rv Trip and in the pines and Juniper, so it was perfect to bring Capt’s Choice North!
With the thunderstorms last night and the fire pit have that charred wet smell, as well as the junipers in complete berry bloom, the soap and AS were just fantastic. An outdoor shave is always nice, with temp at 0600 at about 58-60, a nice contrast to the temps down in the Ol Pueblo
Have a nice Monday folks

Pretty much the same shaves for our RV Trip. Alternating between the #15 and the Koraat. All good shaves
We like this lake and camping area so much we extended a night, so we will be getting home sometime on the 4th
Have a great day folks

Although it’s very nice to get away and to shave with one item out in nature, whatever realized, as I will never ever, ever ever, ever ever be a minimalist after day three I was unhappy with my watch I was unhappy with my razor. I was unhappy with the shaving stuff. Why you ask?
Because variety is the spice of life. You’re only here for a very few short years altogether and why not enjoy every bit of it
So nice to get back in the den today and have all the choices hence the shave for today. Very nice DSBBS shave
Back in the shop for a couple of days and then another three days off
Have a happy Friday folks

YMMV when it comes to shaving. 
Why your doesn’t. You are the Tesla, electric car of shaving consistency, and the same products.YMMV when it comes to shaving.
