June Shave Theme - TSC Artisans, Hobbyists, and Vendors

Tuesday June 30, 2020
Razor: Game Changer .84
Blade: Wizamet (5)
Brush: Cadre 2nd Anniversary
Soap: Tonsorial Williams 1508.5
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva
Talc: Vintage Williams With @Graydog Brush
Fragrance: Nautica Blue EdT

Decided for a mild shave today and went with the GC .84. Back on the 1508.5 Island with Sam. Hard to tell how much progress I'm making on the puck but it does seem smaller than when I started. Nice shave other than catching my upper lip......................not above my lip but nicking the lip which bleeds like a stuck pig. I used my talc brush from @Graydog which is a beauty. A little stiff for a talc brush but we'll see if it breaks in. I'm a little on the fence with the talc. I enjoy it and like the feel it finishes the shave with but also concerned with breathing it in daily when I already have lung issues I'm dealing with. I've tried holding my breath while doing it but still have to decide for myself whether the finish is worth the added risk for me. Off to Chocolate Cake and Coffee. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Closing out the month with some menthol goodness. High 90's here today with heat indices at or above the century mark. Also wanted to close out with a June Themes shave. I've actually been participating all month as I only use Stirling Bath Soaps. My alum block is from Stirling as well. ;)
