This was actually my shave from the other day that I forgot to post. Not much to say about it other than it was pretty damn awesome! I love this scent and really need to use it more often. I know this tub was an experiment in design. I like it okay...but I think Lisa has really knocked it out of the park with her newer designs.

This month is Artisan and Hobbyist month for the Themed Shaves at TSC. Some of our skilled members don't necessarily make shaving gear, so I would like to showcase a little of a Hobbyist that has done some really nice work!

@ShawnF made this knife for my brother. I wish I had a better pic of it...because this one does not do it justice. But Shawn makes a really high quality knife! What was awesome was that Shawn will work with you to make just about any kind of design too! There is a lot of creativity that goes into his work that people just don't realize!

For the Artisan and Hobbyist themed shave today, I went with a soap by @Mystic Water. It's a soap I have had for years now. On fact...One of our featured contributors and hobbyist (@ShawnF ) purchased this puck for me. The soap is awesome. It's perfect to get you into that summertime mood. But not only does it smell great...it performs very well also. Pulled out the new Purple & Geauxld brush made by @Smattayu to whip up a serious lather! A 20 second load and a healthy bit of water yielded one of the best lathers out there. The lather is atypical, so it throws some people off. It's a bit thinner feeling...but that definitely does not mean that it lacks in slickness and all the other wonderful shave properties that this soap has. Speaking of connections...after my four pass shave this morning...I did an intermediary splash of Ultimate Osage that Kyle @uacowboy whipped up for me. I feel the freeze brother! Finished everything off with several glugs of Fine Platinum! Yup...only two people are allowed in an elevator at work because of all the crazy stuff going on...but I want to make sure that the one other person that might join me on a ride gets the privileged of smelling what I got for the world! Your Welcome!
