Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

[Dagwoodz]

Nice set-up Dave...I've yet to try Caties Bubbles in a full tub, just a couple of samples. They were ok performers, (Purple Grapefruit is an awesome scent, though!), I would imagine that they would perform better in a full tub.

Great read, shave, and picture Dave!

I will not suffer with a blade either. Once I feel it's done it's done. Unless I'm using a new one, and one of the factors some consider is longevity. That being said a blade that last for 12 shaves for you in your 6S might only last for 3 shaves in my 6S. YMMV on blades for sure!

Well Just got the call that the city has a water main break and there's no water at our place of worship so services are cancelled today. Another cup of coffee and bantering online to follow.
Got Honor in a Lot on BST and had yet to use it so decided to give it a go. Nice scent but not 1 I will crave like others. Enjoyable non the less and typical quality lather and slickness. Had enough lather left and decided to shave the back of my neck as well. I do this occasionally as I like a clean feeling there and it keeps the hair from the back connecting with the head hair Nice and smooth again and feeling good. Topped it off with some Anthony's Bay Rum. My brother in PA (the tight wad) grew out of that frugal trait at some point and sent me some homemade stuff his barber makes occasionally. I enabled him until he got into wet shaving again and he's enjoying himself with it. Spouse and I were invited to a gathering of friends from our congregation today so will be heading there for lunch and will try to linger long enough so as not to get home early enough to have to weed eat the yard. Have a great day Cadre !!

PS - Sale at another neighborhood is gathering funds into paypal nearing Paladin level........unless I go on a soap buy binge again.......

Good post Dave! I have a sample of the Honor bath soap from SC, and it's nice, but probably not something I'll end up purchasing. I have a ton of different barbershop scents, so I'm not really in the market for another. Yet.

Great job on the enablement of your brother!

I noticed that sale...holy cow! That was some stuff! Nice to see you getting the funds to reinvest!

Bummer about services being cancelled. Hope the rest of the day pans out!

Great shave Dave!

I like the SC Honor scent but, there are better barbershop scents out there for sure IMHO.

Yeah, stuff moving slower then I want and had a few message they'll take something only to never show up again. Got rid of higher end gear previously so it's not the most sought after things. I am close now to a Paladin if the right one is available and moves me that way. Thanks, Don

Lol, good one!! If I had 2 I'd send you one. It's the last bit of therapy I have left over from my bike.

Ah... Soap Commander! Getting caught up Dave. Great read.

Nice shaves. When I see that razor I realize I need to get a heavier DE at some point.

Hows the Sandalwood and Citrus scent for you? I love their supercreamed, triple butter formula.

Honestly the whole thing is kinda meh for me. Not bad, just not exciting enough. Got it on a trade to try some time back.

Thanks Guys

Thanks, When I first got it it felt too heavey being so used to vintage razors. Now I prefer the weight.

 

[dkeester]

Great shave. That pillow is awesome.
