Good morning Cadre, a very nice no-brainer. Guaranteed to be wonderful shave this morning, quick fast and efficient before headed to the shop.
The Sorrentino was on lather duty, the vector on whisker duty, and of course, the PCN Verde for the suds.

Finished up with Thayers cucumber, Alum, and AdG on double duty as after shave and frag

A fantastic shave for a Friday

Hope everybody has a good day

Hey everybody, it’s Saturday. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. It’s actually my Friday so I wanted to do a quick shave and get to the shop.

Proraso is always quick and easy and the Tedalus was on whisker duty today, and a paladin PK 47 whipped up a nice lather

Finished off with some nice splashes of the Proraso Aftershave, a bit of talcum powder and off to the races

At the Ranch:
Temps are gonna be in a high 70s low 80s and just absolutely perfect so there will definitely be some cigars on the agenda, as well as taking “Rokound” out to do some trail running and some mountain climbing in the local area

Have a great day folks

“Rokound” means both dogs, or one? Sounds fun, enjoy!

Super awesome shave today with A very nice gift from @MarkB. As stated before not much in scent but still some cooling from the vintage puck o' Williams, and again another "nod" to the Williams Challenge folks. The MK*32 did her normal stupendous work. Finished up with Aqua Velva sport and Pen's Sports Car Club for the Frag.

Have a Nice Sunday Folks

Happy Monday! Errrrr, I mean Wednesday. A little bit of Wine, leather, and spice before headed to the shop today.

As you can see, red or wine color was the theme of the day. Sorrentino, Vector, Elixir, and Swiss Pitralon was the order of the day

Smoooth, and DSBBS to begin the work week.

Hope your shave week are going well!

Have a great day

A bit of a Mish mash shave today with products that I have not used in a bit including a very nice beehive, crisp Alpine stream, shave soap, Wsp, Matterhorn, aftershave, and Sterling’s Mediterranean man

The Philly did a wonderful job at removing whiskers as did the Tsc anniversary brush

Have a great day folks

Sadly, another unobtanium soap is here. We found out recently that Arran Aromatics is no longer making both the soaps that were wonderful wonderful shavers

Today we are shaving with Lochranza. Named after a city on the aisle of Arran this fragrance couples, anise, and patchouli with a hint of sea and kelp
The Osprey was on whisker duty along with the Sorrentino brush

Using the aftershave balm and EDT, all the wonderfulness of this fragrance comes out and then there is a hint of smoky peaty scotch as well

Have a good day folks
