Texas de Brazil! Man...I can do some damage at that place! Especially the cheese bar! Sounds like a wonderful Fathers Day!
 
Great Father’s Day indeed.

Congrats on the grail shave! Duke Cannon...that’s a catchy name!
Thanks Chris! They make a really good body soap and pomade too.
Great pic and shave. Glad you had a good Father's Day.
Thanks Doug!

Martin de Candre...not surprised about the Grail Shave...Congrats!
Thanks Josh!
 
I don't smoke but that's what I was thinking. Nice shaves Craig !! Never been in an AOS myself and never the desire to.
Thanks Dave!
I wouldn't make a trip just to go to one, but if you are in the neighborhood I'd drop by just to sniff. They do have some great scents!

Straight Razor Shave #172

Pre Shave: CBL Pre Shave
Razor: Clyde Twinworks 50¾
Brush: Asylum Brush Works Cheswick Shaving Brush in Silvertip Fiber
Cream: Proraso Green
Post Shave: Cold Water Rinse Alum Block, and Dickson's
After Shave: Proraso Green After Shave Lotion

No shower this morning as I had showered after the bike ride last night. Just a shave, so I got to sleep in a little longer this morning.
I was in a green mood today for some reason. Maybe because I realized it was the last day of spring. I had another shave planned but, called an audible and went with the Green theme. 3 passes and clean up and I'm BBS. While not quite Grail Worthy, it was darn close! No nicks, or weepers, and just a tad bit of alum sting on the chin and on problem area on the neck.

Finished with a nice splash of the Proraso Green and all is well for this last day of Spring.

Setup 6-20-2018


Bike ride yesterday was harder that I thought it should be, the hills seemed to take more effort. You'd think they would be getting easier.

Still a nice ride.
 
Nice shave with the green theme and impressive ride...........I gotta dust off my bike and get some exercise but no safe roads around here. This may motivate me to cart it somewhere.
 
Great Green Gadzooks! Nice shave Craig...never a bad idea to break out a known performer in Proraso!
 
Great shave and pic. I like the theme shave.
Thanks Doug!

Thanks Dave! Yeah be safe for sure. I've lucky to have nice quiet neighborhoods to ride through till I get to multi use paths.

Thanks Josh! Hard to beat Proraso all things considered.
Great bike ride! You are racking up the miles.
Thanks Chad! The main goal is cardio, just get the heart rate up and keep it there for at lest 30 minutes.
