Happy Monday Folks (my Saturday #2) and Barber Errand Day!

Still warm muggy and monsoony! So a light refreshing citrus shave was in order. All lemon, lime, and juniper with the clothesline freshness of MWF

Great shave with the “Queen”, the MK*32, provided a great shave

Errands and Kona to the Vet for a follow up to his tummy probs and other than that, a few cigars’ laundry and relaxing are the orders of the day

Hope you all have a great day!

Mish Mash today for my Sunday. Sadly we do not see much play for Michelle's soaps, although she was one of the 1st Artisans out there and provides a fantastic soap, from Fragrance to lather. Please check our her site:

Shaving Soap

as she is also an artisan/ retailer here on the site.

Good shave today with the Tradere, "Ol Blue"( the TSC brush) along with Suavacito Ivory Bergamot, and Canoe..

HOMEFRONT: other that Primary voting day, not much else on the agenda

Have a Nice Tuesday Folks

Lemongrass, lavender, lemon, and Savoy spa. Can’t get a much better shave than that lightly fragrance, but very refreshing.

Brand new blade in the Darwin ended up with a three pass DSBBS shave

As most of you are enjoying Wednesday, or hump day, I’m just starting to climb the hill for my Monday.

Hope everybody has a great day.

Happy Thursday folks or actually Tuesday for me, confused yet?

Got a new soap and brush in from one of my YouTube viewers so I was trying it out before I do a full review on my Sunday video.

Mountain man by Montana is a small local artisan at Missoula and this is all mountains pine all the time. Vegan soap lather extremely well and provided a very nice shave with a strength of scent in the 4.5 range.

A new feather in the vector provided a fantastic shave, followed with Proraso and Penhaligon’s sports card club which surprisingly has a ton of pine that comes out after using the soap

Hope everybody has a great day

 

[Graybeard57]

Can’t go wrong with ye olde Vector!

Sleep came tough last night. Could not shut off the Cabeza Computer. Probably thinking too much for having a special birthday weekend for @AvocadoQueen. Planning a few dinners and a nice night out for her birthday on the 6th

I am sure everything will come together, it always does. Anyway with just a few hrs sleep a quick, no brainer shave was in order

Quick work with the Vector and the Eucalyptus was a good wake up. Some alum, a bit of Talc and the Proraso aftershave and good to go for today. Not even a frag LOL

Have a Good Friday Folks

Happy Saturday folks, or actually my Friday excited for the zoom call on Sunday, but wanted a quick efficient shave today

If not, use the Ferrari concept in quite a while, and I matched it with the La Toja to be Matchy Matchy

Three passes today for DSBBS. As well as some nice spritzes of the Ferrari radiant Bergamont.

Have a great Saturday folks

A YouTube subscriber shave from Jason Young, who was kind enough to send and ask for a review. All Amazon products minus the BdC and Razor. Surprsingly very nice stuff. A nice relaxing 3-pass DSBBS shave with a pure Pine Scent, as well as an aftershave that is akin to AV / Barbaol / Skin Bracer if they had a child. Finished off with IMHO is the Strongest Aquatic on the market. A half a spray will last for weeks and would give Polo Green a run for its money on strength and longevity.

HOMEFRONT:

Well it appears if we have solved Kona's tummy issue and Good Ol' Wile E is regular again with no pain, although he may be on prednisone for the rest of his life. A small price to pay to keep him happy and pain free. Also looking forward to a much needed Zoom call and some laundry and a cigar or two as we wait for the afternoon thunderstorms.

Praying for our members in Florida as well

Have a Blessed Sunday Folks!

A nice shave today on "Barber Errand Day" The Original and the one that started it all. Gunsmoke, Saddle Leather, Jalapeno, Terra Cotta, dirt, Creosote. Basically Tombstone in a fragrance!

Dialed back the Osprey today to 4.5 to experiment. As expected a bit to mild for me, similar to the ASD2. So, back up to 6.5-7 for the win. Still a nice BBS shave, not quite Dolphin screaming but nice all the same.

A healty splash of Quinns, and a really healthy splash of Hombres Tonic, followed by a few spritzes of No 06 and truly an Arizona Shave. Off to do errands and spoil @AvocadoQueen for the beginning of her birthday celebrations. Her actual B-Day is manana, but why not spoil her now!

Hope everyone has a Fine Monday!

A good morning. Typical Monday Barber Errand day, a final follow up with the vet for Kona later in the day, and a 1500 sub giveaway on the YT Channel

Site is running smooth, so it is a Lavender day. Prob the last for this soap as it is in complete thin donut mode LOL

Great 3-pass shave.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday!
