You got compared to Thanos the destroyer of the entire universe and your worry about an Austrian crazy person with a bad mustache that is dead ROFL
Would you please go make some bingo calls!
I never said Hitler (or even Nazi)......I said Germany. I'm half German.
Me…. Well, my last name makes it pretty obvious.

Although I did not go to Ohio @Majorrich was nice enough to send me a set of the Ohio wet shavers, shave soap by Shannon soaps, and also knowing that I was a big fan of Seaforth a special aftershave called Buckeye also another local soap maker that was a cherry mint
As far as the fragrance of the soap, it seemed extremely neutral to me. There were no scent fragrance notes on the packaging, nor were there any fragrance notes on the Seaforth so if anybody knows them, please let me know, but it did match very well with the Penhaligon’s Elixir
It was a fantastic shave with the Stark Ferrari.
Thanks again, Rich It’s a wonderful, wonderful soap and fragrance.
Have a good day, everybody

Some thing nice, something simple, something legendary. Well to fit that bill, Fine Italian Citrus!
An all Fine shave with the IC and the C20 fine synth. Couple with the Blackbird, a perfect shave
Splashes of the IC, some talc , and even more Italian Citrus. Just great for a 105 degree day. Yes the heat is back grrrrr
Have a good day folks

Well, Hotumn is continuing in Tucson today. Our normal high should be 91° and it’s going to be 108° so a shave that reminds me of the Pacific Ocean and cool trade winds was in order.
Williams is just a perfect, so easy to lather super super slick and just fun to use. The Pacific Prince aftershave is a cheap aftershave, but it is very nice. Very refreshing shades of blue and a little bit of Aqua Velva is the vibe this is going for
Finished off with some talc, as well as one of the most unique and short-lived fragrances from Penhaligon’s. It’s a wonderful salty oceanic fragrance that never really took off because it’s one of those fragrances you either love or hate.
Blasted Heath EdP.
So a good start to the day for my Friday at the shop and looking forward to a nice long weekend
Hope everybody has a great day

Barber Errand Day Shave! 09.30.2024
As September Leaves us with the Fire of June, October is not much better, 100+ degree temps for the rest of the week, so I guess we are re-visiting June. A rare non-DSBBS shave today, as the Razor needs to go back to the stones I think. Still a very nice shave, and with the temps still sticking to the light "summery" frags.
finished off with a splash, a balm, and the Gio, which should be in everyone's stable
"At the Ranch"
Aside from errand day stuff, we are taking the two pups to the Vet. Kona for his Follow up, and Lyka for her first wellness visit. She is settling in good, Her a Kona are doing well together, and Ruger and Lyka seem to be putting up with each other. I did discover that both Kona and Lyka are both Spinners. That being the case, when horsing around, I now know what will happen when Andromeda, and the Milky Way converge in 4-5 billion years.
Today, they were out in the back yard, nashing teeth, doing there best wolf thing, boxing and biting, when both started to do what is I guess, the Husky Defense Spin or HDS. Like a whirling dervish. both in opposite directions, get really fast. I assume this is a tactic to hit the other dog with the hind quarters at highway speeds, thus launching the other dog away to its demise....... Well, since both were spinning, and both decided to move their hindquarters to the other. Apparently Kona and Lyka are NOT astute in Physics, so when the collision happened, all that kinetic energy transferred to the opposite Husky.........
This sent them both flying across the yard in a cloud or dust rocks and absolute hilarity....well from my point of view. Hearing my laughing, they joined forced and demanded treats and retribution, but attacking me.... Ahhh such is life with a pair of Huskies
Have a Great Monday Folks

Ahhh, Back to DSBBS! The Darwin set again, as although we have dropped below 105, still going to be at least 101 today, so Lemon and Lavender Rule the Day. 3 -passes with the Darwin and just wonderful. Final day off before returning to the shop manana, and then one more week and back up to the lake, for some fall colors and nice cool temps, and some fishing as well.
Finished up with the @CBLSoap.com Litsea Cubebe Witch Hazel, some Yardley Talc and a super generous amount the the Darwin aftershave, to bathe in the Lemony, Lavendery Splendor!
At the Ranch:
Well washed, waxed, and all as they say in Firefly/Serenity "SHINY" and ready to misbehave and be like a "Leaf on the Wind" the Vette is all purdy again. Not much else going on today, maybe some laundry, and a quick trip to WallyWorld to pick up Lunch salads for the week, may a cigar or two as well
Enjoy your Tuesday Folks.
