Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

[The Monkey]

I just get a soap smell from Arko. It is my travel soap.

 

[CBLindsay]

My first dance with Argo was a pleasant one but my second stick was a killer, who knows what this stick I have in the drawer holds...I’ll never open it to find out.

2019 Shave # 290 ( 343 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5

Soap: Mystic Water Bay Rum
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Anthony's Bay Rum

1st use of the stick form of Mystic Water Soap and had an easy peasy lather and shave. The scent was a nice Bay Rum although a little light for me. Detectable throughout the shave but I'd like an in your face Bay Rum to pair with my Anthony's. Have a great shave and day Cadre !!!

I've got that fancy Bay Rum cream that I got a couple of months ago. I'll let you know if it's screaming in my face and send some to you if that's the case.

That Rockwall is a good looking razor. Oh ... and easy peasy for the win!

I appreciate it BenBillBud but I'll pass as I don't care much for creams. Thank you though

2019 Shave # 291 ( 344 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Enders Speed Razor
Blade: Schick (3)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Beehive LE Honey Noir
Soap: CBL Premium Roasted Oatmeal Stout
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Pinaud Clubman Whiskey Woods

Shave video #100 uploading now. Had a great shave with the new to me Yellow Enders. Does it shave differently than the Plain Jane Black one ? Nope, but I LOVE the way this one looks and enjoy the shaves more using this one. Used my CBL Premium ROS since I have 4 Pucks of the Tonsorial Beta coming this way. Going to continue to prep today for the new shower install that a friend was going to come help with. He may come tomorrow or Friday, but most will be done if not completely done. Putting the new wall up today and may start getting the plumbing stubbed up through that wall. Have a stupid fun day Cadre !! Emergency rooms are open and waiting to pick up the pieces............

Dave's Wife - How long is this project going to take?

Dave - About 5 days.

Dave thinking to himself - Of course it would take 3 days without all the TSC breaks

True dat, but considering I went from the friend going to do it all, to me removing the old shower and the wall and electrical, to starting the install, I think she'll still make muffins for me................at least I'm hoping......

I’d call that a profit! You really can save money with this hob...never mind.

Has my wife convinced. I did sell at a reasonable price too. Sold in 10 minutes of posting. The razors were all in much better shape than I expected.

2019 Shave # 292 ( 345 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: I2 Hydromagic
Blade: Schick Proline (2)
Brush: Wolf Whisker Black Wolf
Soap: Wholly Kaw King of Bourbon
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Small Batch Shave Tonic

Day 3 on the Liquor Shaves and chose King of Bourbon by Wholly Kaw. Also if I'm not mistaken, this is shave 2 on the B Proline (from @bentheduck ) in the Hydromagic Injector. I believe the 1st was okay but slightly rough. This mornings shave was GREAT and had me chasing and catching ESBBS (@Majorrich knows about Eel Smooth) Small Batch Shave Tonic topped off the Humphrey's and I feel great............well my skin does anyway. Long work day today but Cadre Friday tomorrow to work around the house. Have a great day Cadre !
