More Seaforth today. This one a nod too old spice still nursing that slice that I received last weekend from a straight razor so continuing to reacquaint myself with the feather ASD2.

Very good shave today, finished up with the
Nivea Deep, Seaforth spiced aftershave, and of course, Shulton old spice cologne

Have a good day, everybody

A very nice Saturday shave by returning to Mitchell’s wool fat. Such a wonderful soap and too bad it’s no longer made. Finished off with the Nivea deep and a few spritzes of the florist 1962 a wonderful blend of lemon grass and spearmint.

On lather duty was the shave Mac and on removal duty again the feather ASD2

Hope everybody enjoys their Saturday

Finally healed enough to get back to Str8 Razor Shaves. Was a bit tentative over the slice, but it appears to have finally healed. All about the Desert, Tombtone, Hombres, and Doc. Great frag of Huckleberry, Peach, and all the scents that made the Original Hombres Barbershop a winner. Lather provided by @CBLSoaps, and all Cactus today from the Razor of that name to the Brush made out of it. Finished with Nivea Deep and Doc Holiday for the post shave

Not a great sleep night last night so finally after tossing and turning a rolled out of bed at 0330 hours took a shower and a nice relaxing shave and headed to the shop just for something to do before the sun even thought about coming up

Three passes today with the summit, which was perfect for a nice chilly morning. This soap is 100% pine and 100% trail with all the smells of the dirt the water the pine the evergreens just a very, very nice scent.

Very slick and easy to lather if you have not tried to adopted acres, you really should

Another nice straight, razor shave

Have a good day folks

Another very early morning with not a lot of sleep maybe two hours. So up at three today wandered around the house a little bit had some coffee, then shower and a shave and got to the shop a little bit early.

But with the warmth, the way it is the PCN Verde was perfect for today’s shave being a little groggy. I opted for a DE shave rather than a straight razor, considering I think I was still half asleep when I was shaving

Finished off with the Nivea deep, Verde aftershave balm, and then finished off with ADP

Hope everybody has a good day

Finally, a good night sleep I think some of the stresses of the holidays and the fact that one of my gift gifts for my Rudolph. Buddy has not arrived yet has had me concerned, but there’s nothing I can do about it and I’ll just have to get those items out when I can

AnyWho, Green was the theme for today with ethos green fresh with the temps in the 80s today. It was a nice summary type flavor to shave with.

The easy aces was on whisker removal and the paladin on lather duty and finished off with Floris

Hope everybody can join us for Barber Dave’s shaves and such live tomorrow at 2 PM mountain standard time 1 PM Pacific

Have a nice day, everybody

A FANTASTIC shave this morning, to begin Barber Errand Day. Have not used the Kami in a bit and it was really fun to get reacquainted. The fragrances on the RainRoot are just ethereal in nature. and just perfect for a warm December Day. Want to thank every one who showed up for the BarberDave Live show yesterday it was a blast


At the Ranch:
Still waiting on the Govee permanent lights to be delivered so, hopefully, the last time to put lights on the house, Still need to do the fence lights, but almost done. Looking forward to only 3 days in the Shop this week and on Winter Break until January.

Have a nice day folks
