STARDATE: AD:20180618 SR Shave #950

Pre-Shave Lather / Hot Towel & Rinse / 15 Laps TM linen / 50 laps TM Strop
Post-Shave: Lucky Tiger Aftershave Salve / Cold Towel & Rinse
30-laps Trans-Ark Hone / 25 Higgins English Linen / 50 Westholme Fast Draw

JP Alcamisi 6/8
TSC Legacy Brush / Fan Synthetic
RazorRock Santa Maria Del Fiore Shave Soap
RazorRock Santa Maria Del Fiore Aftershave Splash

Another very nice mid-morning shave today. Decided on an all Italian shave today. By far this is RazorRock's finest offering. Although it is manufactured for them from Florence Italy, it is wonderful. Citrusy, Tobacco flower and wonderful lather. It rates T1 for me bordering on Elite. Typical of most Italian Shave products it is light in the fragrance category, but the Silage is fantastic as well for both the soap and the aftershave, which can be used as a cologne.

The Alcamisi is just a blast to shave with and i don't know if I have ever seen scales like this, and the bolsters just make this razor exude Italian Class in my opinion.

3-passes today for a nice DSBBS. I did not chase today as it is literally a lazy day around the house..... well until the vet appt at 4, LOL

Set-up:



Have a nice Monday Gentlemen
 
Nice Shave today...and love the scales on that blade! Let us know how the vet goes!
 
Hi Guys, and Thanks.

Quick Drive by, the Vet visit went well, the Vet decided that neither a splint or surgery is required, we just have to keep him in a small box, calm and away from the other duck for about two weeks, get a follow up X-ray and we are good to go. That was about $5000.00 lottery winner there. BIG THANKS for CBL for calming us down and showing how adaptable ducks are in healing, however it turns out that the last vet tech that assured us he was a Boy was WRONG. Spaz is a she, not a Mallard, but a Rouen Hen, go figure. I guess it helps that we have a Vet now that specializes in Birds, LOL I appreciate the concern and prayers over a Duck, LOL

I will try to stop by tomorrow and show my set up for the week.

Hope all is well is everyone. I did post my 1st video Vlog if you have 30 mins you have nothing to do with, LOL

Cheers
 
So happy Spaz is going to be okay! Or should we call her, Spazette! Does this mean you will gave more Duck Eggs? MMM...delicious! Dave, you underestimate yourself! Thirty minutes to stare at your beautiful mug...please...that is a luxury!

P.S. - With all the available emojis we have at our disposal...whay do we not have a duck emoji!
 
Great photo the other day, Dave. And glad that the vet visit went well. Nice to have a bird expert there, too.
 
Great to hear that the vet visit went better than originally thought and Spaz (she-type) will be G2G.
 
Glad to have the vet visit went well!

Hmmm what favor are you buttering Dave up for?
 
I’m just wondering if that means that he will or he won’t have some baby birds in the future.

You mean you didn’t check under the feathers when you got her?

Funny twist.

We thought about it, however after seeing the procedure to check, NOPE Venting is not fun. So we are waiting to see a Drake feather, ( a curl in the feathers at the back of the tail feathers, or their quack. Apparently Ducks are the only ones that actually have a Hard Quack, and Drakes sound like Brenda Vicarra when they talk

Well if Spaz is a girl and Daffy is what we expect, no just eggs, if one does turn out to be a drake, then probably a mix of A pekin and Rouen or a Xenomorph and all of you will get duckling presents, LOL

Our cats would love that!
 
Good to hear the Duck leg was not as bad as thought. I can't imagine trying to put a cast on a duckling's leg.
 
STARDATES: 2018.06.19-23.

Gillette Aristocrat #15
Astra SP (1-6)
Omega Hi Brush / Synthetic
Omega Aquae Shave Soap
Omega Aquae Aftershave Serum

Well, this was my set up during the week, based on time vs sleep. Got rather boring toward the end of the week, but I could survive using the Aquae Aftershave Serum, as it really seems to be the best aftershave I have ever used. All good BBS shaves and there was not point chasing this week for DSBBS.

Set-up:


again my apologies for not keeping up to date on your journals, hopefully I can get caught up by tomorrow. Hope all is well for everyone.
