If you have to do something...

maybe it’s cyclical - that maybe the scent is waning in your like right now - but 6 months from now it will be back as a fav.

But hey– the frag world is a good hob by as well :)
 
Shave #44 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Henson Al medium, Astra SS blade, Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, CC Venture AS, and DHI to finish!

Beautiful morning…a shame it’s going to be a warmer day. SB has had mid to upper 70s all week, with it supposed to be capping out today at 80ish…if you’re not careful here though, that direct sunlight will cook ya before you know it!

Fantabulous shave this morning. Pulled out the Clown Puke tub for about as elite a lather as one could ever wish for. Topped off with a Venture AS (Aventus clone) and DHI combo…powerhouse! I smell amazing!

Church in the park this morning, then…who knows? I’m sure we’ll keep up with the Super Bowl scores but we didn’t buy into any subscriptions to watch. We usually end up bumming someone’s log-in for one offs like this 😂

Have a blessed Sunday all!
 
Shave #45 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Henson Al medium, Astra SS blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, CBL Sir Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Irisch Moos AS, and D&G Light Blue to finish!

Ugh, Monday.

Good shave at least. Back to the dual 3017 rotations. Not sure what my second soap is going to be, now that the Steel Grey Fougere is gone. Probably either going to be CBL Green Links or my even use my Clown Puke tub for a while to work some of that down (it’s grown to nearly a full TOBS tub). Super duper helping of Irisch Moos, shooting good vibes over to Bruce. Topped off with the last of my D&G Light Blue sample.

Hope you all have a great start to the week! (Hope you didn’t forget that it’s Valentine’s Day!) 😂
 
Shave #46 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Henson Al medium, Astra SS blade, TH Taurus A brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, LNHC Barber Shoppe post shave elixir, and Azzaro PH to finish!

Been waking up fairly early the last couple days for some reason, before the alarm for work. Thankfully, I usually doze back off…just weird.

Superb shave this morning from the Clown Puke tub. Helped make up for some of the roughness of the Astra SS. Decided to work this soap down a bit so there’s room for future smooshings of other soap bits. Finished off with Azzaro Pour Homme…yum!

OT workout later today. Not sure what else.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
 
Shave #47 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Henson Al medium, Astra SS blade, Yaqi Sagrada Familia synth brush, CBL Sir Fougere soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Sir Irisch Moos AS, and Dior Homme Parfum to finish!

It’s Wednesday! We’re getting there…

Great shave this morning. Usual suspects. Bruce-sized megaton of Moos AS to finish the post shave. Decided to be bold today and top things off with some generous spritzes of DHP. Probably not the most office appropriate…but I smell freakin good!

Have a great hump day y’all!
 
Shave #48 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Henson Al medium, Astra SS blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Proraso Red AS, and Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensia to finish!

Superb shave this morning! Clown Puke on point! Went with some classic Italian scents this morning to finish things off. A nice helping of Proraso Red, followed up closely by some mega spritzes of ADP Colonia Intensia. Magnifico!
