Dude...nothing is worse than "Blasted Blue Willie!" Oh well...at least you had a fantastic pic!

Hey it was not that bad..... OK maybe it was. I think I blocked if from my memory. That February and all those shaves have been omitted from time itself, LOL

Gillette FatBoy G-1
Astra SP (1)
Paladin Neptune Cleo / Select Badger
Cherry City Mustache Williamette Woods Shave Soap
Brut Splash On Lotion
Brut Special Reserve Cologne

Nice shave with a new soap today. Williamette Woods by CCM. A very nice soap and a earthy, piney, cool scent. I do not think there is any menthol in it, however it feels cool on the face. On the SOS scale it is about a 2, but lingers nicely. As this was a sample I bowl lathered and it created a very nice, albeit a bit thin ( my fault as I over-hydrated in the bowl ) but nice and slick. It provided a nice 3-pass shave with the FatBoy, of which I had not used in quite awhile. As some know this razor belonged to my Father-in-Law who passed in 1982. It is a G-1 so I think about 1962-63 build date, and he received that yr. Electric razors were coming into there own, and apparently he used the razor once, and went to electrics. It was found in a box and Sharon gave it to me on my birthday some years ago.

So, it always provides a special shave. BBS today, but I find even at setting 7 it can be very mild, and by the evening I have a bit of stubble. To used to straight razors I guess. Finished up with Brut and all was good.

Set-up:

​

On the homefront, we are in the 90's now, so goodbye to the 80's till October and soon we shall be on the surface of the Sun till late September.

Thanks for reading
