MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

19 March, 2026

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Going with a funky number from jazz guitarist Vinny Valentino today. Hope you enjoy.


Another incredible shave this morning! Returned to my Valobra era TAOS unscented shave soap. Phenomenally thick & slick lather built with the Simpson ST badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Aqua Velva "Musk" aftershave lotion. Popped a fresh Wizamet in the Karve this morning and it was so smooth that I had to check and make sure the blade was actually in there!

BBS bliss!!

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Hard to believe we're already on the downhill slide to April.

Hope you have a great day. :)
