Shave #295 (355 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Skin Bracer AS, and Lavender/Roman Chamomile/Tangerine EO drops to finish!
In a little over a day and a half, things will be back to normal...thank goodness.
Dad bus does it again. Two days in a row with the kids to school in record timing and plenty of clock left for them to get a second breakfast at their cafeterias. Don’t tell mom!
First shave with CBL Money in the tonsorial formula. Getting it pressed into my slightly smaller, empty Cella tub was a challenge as it fragmented and flaked a good deal. The soap is still juuust soft enough to deform, but just lacks the moisture that keeps it easily pliable as a whole piece.
The scent and shave though, wow! Definitely see where people are getting the fresh linen kind of smell from. It was very nice! A scent that could make many different folks happy. It lathered up super easily with a moderately wet brush on a dry puck (minus the soap flakes from my tub moulding issues). The soap has it where of it counts! It is a step down from the normal formula, but not a big one. This is still likely a top tier soap. With CBL and SV in my soap drawer, I find myself thinking more and more why I even have other soaps laying around.
Back to work today. Couldn’t find anyone to pick up the kids today, so they’re gonna be getting out a bit early lol; I’ll pick them up on my way to work. Nothing like a night at work with dad!
Have a great Tuesday all!
