Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

Thanks Chris. I don't see the tape thing being necessary for me. The moisture seems to be the only issue for me and I'll get the humidifier dialed in to stop it. Nice to hear about others on it too and get feedback.

Roger that, Dave. I had to experiment with the humidity and temp settings as well.

Very nice reads from the weekend.

OCtober and Razoroctober Shave #1

Monday October 1, 2018

Razor: Timeless .68 Open Comb

Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (7)

Brush: Razorock Big Bruce

Soap: Razorock WTP Blue
Aftershave 1: Thayers Cucumber

Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva

So I have the Timeless Open Comb paired with some Razorcok Blue Soap whipping lather into submission with the Razorock Big Bruce. 1st use of the blue from this trio (Used the Lime 1 time) It gets a nice lather and who could pass up this deal for $9 for 3 pucks of soap. Big Bruce always delivers and the Timeless did a stellar job on the face as well as neck since the wife just gave me my biweekly buzz haircut with the clippers. She came in as I picked the soap and I explained the month and that I didn't have any Razorock aftershaves and needed something to pair with this soap. We settled on topping the shave off with Aqua Velva and it was a perfect fit for the Blue soap.(Not sure what it's called but smells aquatic to me) Hope all in the Cadre are doing well and had a good day !!

Big Bruce! Yes!

That AV bottle cracks me up; it's a good one. What was originally in it (I think you've mentioned it, but I can't remember)?

 

[Dave in KY]

Skin Bracer. Already had 1 but couldn't pass on one for 99 cents on the bay that no one bid on so put AV in it. There's usually a few on there at any given time.

Problem is Dave, you’ve got 2 rights.... now you need to get 2 lefts!

 

[cmh737]

Thanks, Dave.

And well done, KJ!

 

[Dave in KY]

I will. As you know they are rarer.

 

[Dave in KY]

Just got 2 left hands off the bay ??

OCtober, Tabactober and Razorocktober Shave #2

Tuesday October 2, 2018

Razor: Timeless .68 Open Comb

Blade: PolSilver SI (5)

Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft Synthetic

Soap: Tabac Stick
Aftershave 1: Murray and Lanman Florida Water Cologne

Aftershave 2: N/A

I think I covered all the bases I could in 1 shave. Open Comb - check, Tabac - check, Razorock - check. So the Tabac scent is fine with me. Light to me. Nice without being overpowering. Not unpleasant but not something I'd long for either. Glad I got a stick to use occasionally. Typical smooth and comfy shave from the Timeless. Thanks to Doug (dekeester) I now have the FW in glass. I can see going thru this pretty quick as I REALLY dig the scent. It definitely has alcohol in it and lets you know but that's not a problem. I guess I can get the stuff in plastic now and decant into this bottle when I need more. Hope everyone in the Cadre had a good day and has a better evening !!

 

[Cvargo]

Nice shave there! Definitely hit all the themes

 

[MilkCrate]

Great shave! I think you did cover all the bases.

 

[CBLindsay]

Way to nail the theme.

 

[GearNoir]

Glad the Tabac and FW are winners!
