Fougereapalooza today for my early morning shave, a nod to the Brits today and the quintessential Fragrance.. "The Fern".

The frame back had not been used in a while , so it took me a sec to get my angles back in order. The Royal Fougere Soap is everything the old Penhaligon Soap Formula used to be and then some, sans some of the scent profile which it takes for Trumpers. Still Nirvana.

3-passes today. A bit heavy handed so there was a tad of being lit up a bit with the post shave. No major irritation, just the Shave Gods letting me know I scraped a bit too much skin off the face, LOL Still very Much DSBBS, but shy of grail due to my stupidity.

Finished off with a healthy pool of Asylum AS, and then of course an ample amount of Vasilli's of my coveted English Fern EDT... A "Brilliant" start to the day and quite "Lovely" to coin the phrase.

Set-up:


Enjoy the remainder of your day Gentlemen

Nice shave, read, and pic. It is a little strange reading that you missed the Grail shave.

 

[dangerousdon]

Dave had a less than perfect shave...oh the humanity!?

 

[NurseDave]

See! Those frame backs are tough! ?

 

[dkeester]

Dave had a less than perfect shave...oh the humanity!

With that and the lack of pics the other day I am questioning reality. Has the world gone mad? LOL.

 

[Dagwoodz]

See...Dave misses a picture and the next shave he misses his grail shave with some irritation. hmmm....

Great read, shave (by most of our standards

), and picture Dave!

Fess up you were just a little hung over from the Menudo concert.

Dave must have gotten off of his game by making that video. Maybe we all need to send him some more peppermints. That way he can sniff those to refresh himself like he does with coffee for his fragrance sniffer.

05.26.2018 DE shave today... early day at the shop

E-1 Fatboy on 7
Astra SP ( 6)
Omega 6242 / Silvertip
Fine Fresh Vetiver Shave Soap
Omega Aquae Aftershave Serum
Fine Green Vetiver Aftershave as frag.

Very early morn, at the shop today and after yesterday's bonehead moves I did not want to tempt a visit from Mr. Murphy, so nice quick 4-pass shave with the Fatboy was in order. All the software worked well in concert and it was a pretty uneventful shave. Ended up DSBBS as the Omega Serum is just the best in leaving your skin feel silky smooth, a bit of talc and a splash of the Fine and off to the barbershop for a fun day.

Again, my apologies for not being caught up on everyones journal, but hope to rectify later this holiday weekend

Set-up today:



Have a Fantastic Saturday folks

 

[Dagwoodz]

Good efficient shave today with the FB. And it's hard to get the shave wrong with a Fine soap...hope the day at the shop goes smoothly.

 

[GearNoir]

Great looking Fatboy. I think I’m gonna pull mine out for tomorrow’s shave!

 

[Quijote]

Good call taking it easy today. Wouldn't want you cutting off a mole.

 

[clyde72]

And he's back!

Great shave and picture Dave!

 

[dangerousdon]

It's not often we see you using a DE Dave, but when we do, it's a great shave!

 

[dkeester]

Nice pic and shave. It is odd seeing you use a DE.

No shave today? Dear lord... First the binge of the Menudo sound track, gourging yourself in peppermints, and now no shave??? Have you been to the doc yet?
