Great shave today Dave. 105 to 110 degree temps? I won't even say it gets that hot here, but what I do have is 80 to 95% humidity everyday on top of 95 degree heat. We are expected to get into the 100s this weekend. I think we can all agree that it is just plain old hot!

Fantastic shave with a nice razor!
Great shave and picture Dave!
What no duck duty? Real farmers don't take a day off!
Thanks Gents

Another early morning shave as I head to the shop today. Shelf #3 revealed another Paladin Soap for the day in Natchez Trace. Described as Bay, Pine and Cedar, it is very similar to North, however does not have that burnt forest accord of it. They do partner well together. Not to much to be mentioned in the performance arena from the Paladin Soaps. Elite status, however they do fall a bit on overall fragrance strength, but still a pleasure to shave with.
The BRW reminds me of that old car you have around that, no matter what you cannot kill it, Ol' Reliable. Always perfect, Always performing, and Always a joy. that is what it is like every time I take out this razor. I just works!
3-passes to day and Grail all the way, no clean up needed. A healthy splash of CC North to Juniperize the face, followed by some talc, and MORE Vasilli's than needed of the Pen's Juniper Sling. Proobably the most perfect fragrance for hot weather. Good stuff
Set-up:
Have a Great day Gents, and as per norms, I will get caught up on your journals as I can

Great stuff today Dave. I need to pick up a BBRW blade sooner than later. However, the below statement threw me...
ummm...Blenheim Bouquet? Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa? Acqua di Gio? LOL...Juniper Sling IS a great hot weather frag, though.

Glad it wasn't just me.
