Shaves 1010 - 1018: on SV kick. Same razor in the LDV SV and again to tired and lazy to take individual Pics, so I did a family photo. Hmmmm.... Can you tell I Like SV? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

BRW 5/8 ghost jade
Paladin PK-47 Select Badger in Jade
CBL Ghost Lime Shave Soap
Proraso Green Aftershave
Royall Lime Cologne
Still catching up on posts, but was able to finally shave with the Ghost Lime from CBL. It was a welcome site, seeing that THB will not be making anymore creepers, including the much anticipated "Lime Creeper". No fret here, as Chris knocked this one out of the park. Great stuff. the perfect balance of chill and lime and satisifies that need for Creep. Perfection!
All other aspects of the shave were very nice. 3-passes and some cleanup for DSBBS. finished off with Proraso Green ( pairs perfectly ) and a few Vasilli's of the Royall Lyme and was perfect for a Friday.

Have a Great Day

Dorko 1151
TSC/Sorrentino Shave Brush / Tuxedo Synthetic
CBL TSC Shave Soap
The Gentlemen's Chambers "Monsoon" Aftershave Splash
Penhaligon's Savoy Steam EdC
Today's shave was an early morning blast and brought to you by the letters C B L and T S C. Our forums Signature Scent, and a lovely one at that. No need to extol the properties or performance of this soap and it's maker, as we all know it is elite in every aspect.
The shave consisted of my normal 3-passes + cleanup and was very nice and not quite DSBBS (G) but very close. I still find myself having to rush a bit to get out the door by 6:00 to get to the shop, but so far so good, and except for a few hiccups not "much" blood has dripped from the honed blades, LOL.
Finished off with one of our new AS splashes " Monsoon" It is very nice with hints of rain, ozone, creosote bush. Like the dessert after a perfect monsoon rain. We chose to make it a very healing AS as well with all the good stuff and all natural. It should go on sale soon along with the shaving soap of the same name, shampoos, pomades, hair gels and so forth.
Finally it was time for a steam bath........ Well ok, a steam bath in a bottle. Savoy steam is just, yet another, scent from Pen's that is light, but oh so nice and does remind one of a steam bath with linen towels, alcohol, and a rubdown. good stuff

Hope you are having a great weekend

Can't Tell that you like SV...how about explaining why?
Great to see you post. We all know you are super busy...but just like reading your posts anyway. It seems that you should be somewhere in the neighborhood of half way over with your training. I know it's hard work...but it will go by quicker than you expect!
