Nice Chad. Mine is light off the puck. Hoping it comes alive when lathered

Good shave today.
The scent of judgment.
Nice shave Chad. That soap sounds a winner in name and scent! Good luck with the window quotes. We did ours the year we bought our house. They say it’s one of the better investments you can make in your home. It really does make a difference in your hearing and cooling bills. With that heat wave coming it sounds like you’ll need them!
That is what we figured and with us staying in this house now for the long haul with my wife's new job this upgrade seems like the right idea.
Thanks Dave
I think Stetson is naturally a little lighter, but it stays with you all day. At least for me it does.
Razor: Parker Variant set to 5
Blade: Perma Sharp (2)
Soap/cream: Stirling Dunshire
Brush: Stirling Ivory Bulb
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Stirling Dunshire
Cologne: Acqua di Gio
Sticking with the theme today I grabbed Stirling Dunshire which is modeled after AdG and this is actually one of my all time favorite scents. Stirling's rendition has always delivered for me in performance and scent strength and this is no different. I never owned a full bottle of AdG due to price so when @cmh737 offered up the killer deal I had no choice but to pick it up. And I am happy to finally have it in my arsenal.

Quotes are going well so now just waiting for all the figures to be emailed over so we can make our decision. Crazy how expensive all this is, but they should last a VERY long time so that is good. Anyways the next window guy should be here within 5 min. Have a good day cadre!

I really don't want to know...
I think we know a certain Barber, that can hook him up with one of these...... Maybe even put the TSC logo into the back!
indeed I could do that Chad I may even fly up to do it..... or when I see you next
oh and nice shave Chad, glad you like the ADG
I got in the Storybooks Soapworks coffee soap. I’m sure I’ve seen others say this is the most coffee smelling soap they have had. I can’t say that. I don’t get coffee at all. I get something like an unsweetened oatmeal cookie. Blind buy fail.
hmmm you really need to get a sample before you buy....tehehehehehehe
But, but, but.....you’re right.
Uh....
I was thinking and meant to ask the same thing
Oh boy!
I really don't want to know...
Uh.... NO!
Nope!
Thanks Dave
Straight Shave #218
Razor: Feather SS
Blade: Feather Pro (2)
Soap/cream: CBL Granite
Brush: Razorock Beehive
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Aqua Velva Balm
Cologne: Davidoff Cool Water
Well today I went for another straight shave, and used the CBL Granite soap which is the new unscented soap he offers. This stuff is SLICK!!! The lather was a little different but I really enjoyed it. A great shave indeed! If you want an Unscented soap this is what you should be using. I then went for another of the Colognes I recently got from the BST and this one was very nice, a little lighter than i would like but a very nice scent.

What a crazy day for sure! We went under contract with a window company, and should be picking the HVAC company soon. We also did the credit pull on the refinance and everything was approved as expected. Now we just have to verify income etc. Couple that with a crazy day at work I came into 125 new emails. I was only out ONE day. I guess work never stops.
Anyways hope you all have great day.

Razor: Timeless .68
Blade: Chroma Diamant (1)
Soap/cream: Fine American Blend
Brush: Rudy Vey 2016 Group Buy
Aftershave1: Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aftershave2: Fine American Blend
Cologne: Fine American Blend
Today I am basking in American Blend glory. I love this scent. And am happy to have gotten the Cologne finally. Have been waiting to pull the trigger and just kept pushing it off and honestly for no good reason. Price increases on Fine products might be part of it, but in all honesty there are two I will probably always have in the den and that is the American Blend and Platinum. The shave today went well enough but the blade was kind of a bust, but that is to be expected when I am doing a bad blade series LOL.

Nothing crazy to report. Just a regular ol' Thursday. STayed up too late last night watching the Jazz game and then the alarm at 4:45 AM came mighty early. But nothing a couple pots of coffee can't fix.
Have a good day cadre.
