June is almost here. And it is time to bust out a theme that I have been wanting to do for quite a while now. Instead of having one shave theme and celebrating an Artisan/Vendor here at TSC, let the celebration of all TSC Artisans, Hobbyists, and Vendors be the theme! Yup...you heard me right. For the month of June shaves should consist of items and products obtained from those who support TSC.

I understand that not all of our hobbyists craft items specifically for shaving...but if you are able to work it into a picture, video, or even a description...I am sure that they would be very appreciative! Heck...don't even worry about the shave...if you want to show off what you got...then show us!

Be creative as you would like. Again...there really are no wrong answers here. Shaves can consist of a little of the TSC Artisan, Hobbyist, or Vendor items...or it can consist of a lot! It's up to you!

Below is a list of all TSC Artisans, Hobbyists, and Vendors:

From the Artisan and Retail Market Place:


From the Hobbyists Page - Our Member Craftsmen


Again...this is a celebration of those who support TSC! So pull out your soaps, your brushes, straights, knives, and pokers! Yes I said pokers! And for the month of June let us show these fine supporters of TSC how much we appreciate them!

It's June 1st and so starts another month of shave themes! The shave theme for June is TSC Artisans, Hobbyists, and Vendors. Yup that is right...shaves are going to be centered around those who support TSC. I am starting the month off with an all (well almost all) Stirling shave. Brush, soap, and aftershave all Stirling. And it's a Weekend in Malibu kind of day! Scent notes of citrus, vanilla, sandalwood, and lily of the valley make this a really enjoyable warm weather type of scent. It's almost aquatic. This is one of my favorite scents by Stirling @Joe Hackett.

I went with four light passes this morning after the weekend stubble and was rewarded with an almost BBS shave. I have been getting more and more of these lately and wonder what has changed. I am loving the 7 O'Clock Super Platinum and I think that this might be one of the differences. A splash of the Ultimate Osage and a Super Splash of the Weekend in Malibu. I am now ready to work from home! 🤪

A little rushed this morning so this will be a short one. Working on the shave theme of the month and I decided to use a soap, aftershave, and brush, all by people here at TSC. I haven't used The Shaving Cadre soap in a while, but man does Chris @CBLSoap.com really now how to make a product. I love the scent too! Nice and grassy but bright also. Used the 'Luca Brasi" brush also by Eric @Smattayu. If you ever want a quality custom brush for a really good price...Eric is your Man. A regular three pass shave and my face is feeling clean and smooth. So Sharp Dressed Man by Stirling Soap Company and @Joe Hackett call got the call today. Liberal splashes today..."glugs" if you will as I have to actually go into work. With social distancing and all...I have to make sure that I have enough aftershave on so people can smell me!
