I think Dave would have less of an internal struggle if he just didn’t announce his plans for things that require, well, plans.

Yeah, I could just do my own thing and not support people like.............................................YOU If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem

Well it's back the deserted island with @woodpusher again. I like Sam mind you but these visits are getting harder and harder in a short time. The 1508.5 is the issue. The soap isn't bad. It's not you, it's me..............At least my Lupo is back and got a close comfortable shave the way I like it......Have a great day and weekend Cadre !!!

Unfortunately my skim watching and some fake news from up north. Inadvertently had me besmirch the character of a upstanding pillar of our community. I publicly apologize.

Razor: Kriss Kross
Blade: Schick (1)
Brush: Sorrentino Sea Foam
Soap: Vintage Chilly Willy
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Nautica Blue

So today was an attempt at a Chilly Willy or Blue Willy (read it called both) Kriss Kross didn't work out. Not because it was to aggressive but due to lack of blade exposure and therefore a lack of cutting. I'll figure something out. Video explaining is uploading. Rockwell 6s played pinch hitter and finished off a refreshing shave. Have a great day Cadre !!!!

 

[MilkCrate]

Nice recovery!

Vintage Williams again! .... They're playing our song.

Razor: Fatip La Sorta Slant Original
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: TSC 2nd Anniversary Brush
Soap: Stirling Hipster
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Stirling Hipster
Fragrance: Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent

Rough day yesterday for "reasons" but we're shaking it off..................Featuring Stirling today with Hipster Soap/Splash today and what a great performer and scent. Thanks again Rod and Mandy @Joe Hackett for making this part of the 2nd Anniversary package. Hope the family is well !! Was focused on the razor which is one I watched with interest as @gvw755 used it in his slant razor tour. It performed smooth and a close shave. Glad I got it for the den. Not the best finish/manufacturing quality but blade alignment appears spot on and blade is held snuggly. Mild but effective shave with a little chasing. Smelling good. The brush with it's new to it knot is a badger/boar so it has some scritch that will eventually soften as the boar splits. The brush shed more than 20 hairs but I actually enjoyed the brush as it is usable again in my book. I'm sure the shedding will subside..........hopefully. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Here's after the shave and cleaned up all bloomed

Nice job on the reknot.

Nice job on the reknot.

Thanks Sam, I'll be back tomorrow on the Island. What can I bring you?

 

[MilkCrate]

Man that 70/30 looks good. I’m curious to see how much it blooms out after break in.

I could have set it a hair deeper but it feels good sans the boar scritch that will change
