Great shave with the Ice Dragon set-up today, Dave. I'll leave the snarky comments until later...lol.

Another Afternoon shave today as the morning was filled with the glory of poo, feathers, railroad ties, and roses. HMPFTT!. Thank God I go back to the shop tomorrow, LOL.

That withstanding how can anyone have a bad day when they are shaving with Iced Pineapple. Especially when it is 103 outside. Cool, refreshing, cold from the menthol and with follow up software like Fine, and Creed. Stupendous!

Not to mention the Chevalier is just a little hot-rod to shave with and with the shortie blade, angled as it is.... The Formula One of shaves.

3-passes DSBBS today a nice splash of the Platinum to continued the cold Pineapple goodness, and then a sad note....... a 3017 binning of my Creed Aventus..... Thankfully I have a bigger bottle in reserve... Whew missed a bullet there, LOL.

Have a Great Afternoon everyone. For those interested in what my Den ( closet ) looks like there is a video up in the Media Forum and a portrait of Chris Chad & I standing together promoting the TSC. hehehehehe
 
Great shave!

I really can’t believe how hot it is all around in the States. It’s not even into June yet and CA has some days reaching the nineties! It just comes sooner and hotter every year.

Indeed we are supposed to be 107-110 by Sunday, makes it a very long June as we wait for the monsoon
 
Excellent shave and set up, Dave. I've only had a tub of Iced Pineapple for a couple weeks, and have used it four times, which might be a record for me. It is really amazing in the warm weather we've been having though, so I imagine it will be getting used plenty more this summer.

Thanks Eric and indeed it will
 
Nice shave Dave. 3017 is one of those things that I never expect you to say. Talk like that may lead to its dreaded cousins restraint and sabbatical.
 
Nice shave Dave. 103 you say huh??? Well I guess I won't talk about our 85 degree day then. Moving on.

Ahh the Sun is shining, and no duck duty today. A nice early morning shave before heading to the shop for my final 3-days until I start Barber school for the next 10-months. So La Toja got the call.

3-passes with Heir Boker and DSBBS. The La Toja is such an easy, fun shave. The real star is the Aftershave splash. Delightful, and with a floral, citrus, powder, and a bit of citrus you can just imagine the Spanish Barber shop aromas

A nice shave to start a Thursday.

Set-up:



Have a Great day Folks
