Galileo Galiei by TI/SV
SV Artisan 2.0 Tortoise/HMMW
SV Cubebe Shave Soap, Aftershave, Edp
CBL Litsea Cubebe WH
Alum
Talc
All SV and all Cubebe today. A very nice shave with Signore Galileo and the Cubebe. The HMMW provided a nice slick lather and also did a Quick Tutorial in my video today on how to effectively do a rolling technique on the chin.
Homefront:
Today, as are all Mondays "Barber Errand Day". today however the Boss is going with me, so lunch date day as well. Monsoon is in full force, so not only are we getting much needed rain, but the 105-107 temps are now inlcuding 30-50 Percent humidity, so it feels like the deep South on Steroids, LOL. Ahhh the price we pay for having 8-9 months of perfect weather LOL
Have a Marvelous Monday Folks

Blackland Blackbird "Big T little i" IYKYK
SV 2.0 Ivory / HMMW
SV Felce Aromatica Shave Soap / Aftershave
Alum
Quinns Cucumber Mint
Penhaligon's English Fern Talc
A nice relaxing day with a haircut in the morning, getting some laundry done preparing for the Shop, and now just awaiting Safelight Glass to Replace a windshield. So as chill as can be, thus a late shower and decision to "Fougere" it out with Ferny goodness, 3 passes with the blackbird, and a new lab blue
Finished off with the FA aftershave some EF talc, and now to partake in large Laziness and finish binging Outer Range, and start watching FireFly..... Again... Such a great show.
Hope everyone enjoys the remainder of your Tuesday

Blackland vector
Sorrentino
Proraso
A very slow start to the day at 0430, in the beginning of my work week.
As sluggish as I was, I decided to do a very quick shave with the Italian wake up product
A good three passes with a vector, although I don’t remember much of it because I was trying to drink coffee at the same time
I I hope I’m not catching some type of bug, as summer colds are the worst
Hope everybody has a good day

General Badoglio 6/8
Sorrentino
Boellis Panama shave soap, aftershave
Alum
Talc
Boellis Panama Daytona EdT
A complete Italian shave today. Boellis Panama does not get enough play. It is a wonderful Italian semi soft soap that comes in a large brick the last year forever, mildly scented almond, but gives an absolutely fantastic lather.
Whisker duty went to the general today the uniqueness of this razor and of the bolster art is just fantastic
Sorrentino had the job of spreading the lather for a very nice three pass DSBBS shave. Some alum, some talc and the Daytona to finish up.
A good shave today after a good night sleep feeling much better. Looks like I avoided the dreaded summer cold.
Hope everybody has a wonderful Thursday

A very nice shave with the accoutrements from above the JMP is such a smooth razor, and you can’t go wrong using any SV products and then finishing off with a Ferrari
On the homefront:
I was very excited with the fact that I had missed a bullet getting a cold then I find out yesterday that one of my clients came in to get a haircut that had Covid. They didn’t bother to tell me I had to find out from one of his neighbors so immediately ran down and got a Covid test, thankfully so many vitamins and immune system supplements that I tested negative thankfully
So I will test a couple more times over the weekend to make sure that I don’t have it. I have not had Covid yet and I hope it doesn’t happen.
Hope everybody has a great day and a great weekend

The selfishness of some people is seemingly limitless, it appears. What a moron.

Blessed Sunday folks, or as I call it my Saturday #1. A pirate themed shave today for the "Crosby Conundrum". As @heysi and @NurseDave are lazily floating around the Caribbean on separate Ships, causing all the mayhem they can muster. I was asked to do a tribute shave as they obviously wanted to give me their respective Booty's. NOT THAT you SICKOS... Their treasure, ya treasure... Although not sure about @NurseDave .... He is a bit needy
Anyway all lime and Bay rum today with a mean Pirate style razor. Also a stunt shave as I had on an eye patch and earring ( see the video for more ) So yet another challenge complete
Have a Blessed Sunday all and ARGGGGGH
