Barber Dave, do you have a current list of The Chamber soaps that are available?
 
Good stuff Dave. Glad the Beehive is still working for you!

Thanks Chad, Still wonderful
Great shave and nice insight into how great products go down hill. I think it would be a very interesting topic for an upcoming TSC Radio show!

Thanks Don, I have been remiss about getting a new show up, hopefully soon, and will place that on the topic list.

A couple of very nice shaves, Dave. I've been checking out oud's again lately. Interestingly enough, I found a sample of Polo Supreme Oud while going through my frag sample drawer. I can't for the life of me remember how it got there, but man does it smell good! Too bad I've exceeded my frag budget for the year in the last couple of days, or I'd seriously consider ordering a bottle for the winter lol.

Thanks Eric, I am not sure I I sent that to you awhile back when you started investigating Barnyards, LOL

I hope MRS Xeno is feeling better by now. My wife has regular migraines and has some pills used to break them. I forget what she is using now but I know she has had others that didn't work. You mentioned she was exploring some ear thing, did she abandon that idea or has she just not gone there?

I have found a source for Mysore oil/atar, it is far too expensive to use for bulk production but it might just be worth making a few pucks (harder version of CBL) and I am sure you can turn the oil into a wonderful EtP. My source uses Mysore as a carrier for some other atar mixes because they say it improves the overall scent. Sadly, they were out of the pure oil/atar when I ordered last.

That would be awesome. Thanks Chris She did research both Botox and the ear thingy, botox went out the window after looking at the side effects, and the other is just finding a qualifier person, and the worry of the possible problems if they do it wrong

Another Chilly early morning before school and chopping all day. It was cold so why not head to the Mountains. A wonderful homage to Creed Silver Mountain Water, it needs no fanfare. It is just good. The Thater and Mr. Aces were in good from today for the 3-pass shave. DSBBS and a firehose Vassili, and a good day at the shop.

Think I will pull out and OC this weekend maybe even a New LC.

Hope you hall had a great couple of days!

Wait, what? I'm always slow to the party so I missed something here on what the Chamber soap is but the Black sounds like good stuff......
 
Great stuff, Dave. Looking forward to the video. I've been meaning to get some Aqua. I have one of the flankers, Aqua Amara, which I love, and I've heard is being discontinued.

Nice early shave today. Chose to use the La Toja again, as I did a video on Shave Sticks. Also being OCtober I also skipped a straight today and opted for my New. A great razor, although I was a bit concerned I may slice and dice a bit, as it has been a long time since I had used it. Like riding a bicycle however, it was rather easy.

3 passes and DSBBS. finished off with La Toja Aftershave a some Vasilli's of Canoe. After Church, cam home took care of the "Farm" and rendered and posted the video from the morning. A nice, albeit busy, relaxing day.

Hope yours was too.

Set up:

Thanks. I think when you have the Aviator (I'm assuming leather), I'll have to order that and the black.

A non straight shave for two-days in a row?! Yes, the Apocalypse must be here, LOL. In reality to celebrate (although this is probably it for October) Tabactober, and OCtober I would smack to ducks with one rock. There had been some discussion on possible changes and wierd happening with Tabac soaps as of late. So into the lab, as I have an older puck ( 1yr old ), and a brand new puck just to see if there was any formulary changes that could be detected.

Bloomed both, lathered both, face applied both. I did not see any difference in fragrance, performance, or the wonderous performance that keeps Tabac on the border of Elite and T1 in my opinion. If indeed there were any changes, they must be so minute, that it is undetectable, or as Chad puts it, I have magic water at my home, and it will create perfect lather out of anything, LOL.

Except the new Crabtree & Evelyn, or Trumper's Eucris ( JUNK, TRASH, YUK)...... I digress

The #15 IMHO rivals the performance of the New LC, and unlike some, I find the Crat to be a bit more aggressive than the New, RFB, or SC. This is one of the few DE's that has bit me pretty good. We are on better terms these many years later and so far, just great shaves, when I dust her off.

3-passes today for DSBBS. Followed by the Splash and Edc for a Fantastic Start to a Monday.

Set-up:



Have a Great Monday Gentlemen
 
This is what I was thinking, will you get out of my head man

PS - Nice shave Dave
