Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 348 SE: 6 SR: 389)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
J Allen
Stirling synth
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (42)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Stirling Deton-8 AS

The Process-
I did shave yesterday, just didn’t have time to post it. I had used the same gear from Wednesday. Today was a late(ish) morning shave and I am beating this soap down. 30 second load time and it was go time. Whipped up a really nice lather again with plenty to spare.

40 laps on leather. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report.A very nice shave and I am BBS for the win! Oh yeah! Man that was a good shave. The missus and I were sharing the bathroom, which we normally don’t do. She just kinda watches with here mouth open when I shave with an SR. Kinda funny

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and dry. Splash of the witch hazel then a glug of the AS. Everything was right as rain! Ues, yes and yes! Damn I smell amazing. That was just the right scent for a pick me up. Indeed my friends... Life is good!

Home Front-
What to catch you up with first? Crazy busy work week and brought work home. I think crazy busy will be the new normal. The external drama we were dealing with a few weeks back, appears to be stifled with a vaca at club TDC for a lucky contestant. The day the missus seemed better was just a ray of sunlight peaking through the thunderheads.She is still down and had a Dr appt today for that. They are scheduling X-rays to see if she broke anything. On a positive note, the 3017 of this CBL is going well. Like Dave, I won’t repeat this again. Today I also picked up some nice Red Oak boards for a shelf. More to come.

@Patelliott, I think Dave and I are on the same page with this. I don't have the notes in front of me, I just woke up from a nap, my nose is clogged, reasons, so I can't tell you exactly what's missing, but it's pretty close, like 98% there.To be honest some days I prefer Kaboom (what it was called before a touch of controversy) over SB because Kaboom is also just a hint sweeter to my nose, which might actually translate to spicier now that I really think about it.

Man, I really hope my rambling is even remotely useful. :ROFLMAO:

To me it isn't necessarily exact but as close a clone as I've ever experienced. The Spice Bomb is just more strong/intense. I pair it with the Deton-8 Soap and splash ALWAYS. Hope that helps. Maybe @bentheduck can add more

Shave Count (DE: 348 SE: 6 SR: 390)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
F Reynolds
DSC Badger
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (43)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Florida Water AS

The Process-
So ... late morning shave today and changed the kit up a bit too. Getting tired of the 3017 thing, so I went with a 2 minute load time ... JK. The soap is really breaking apart now and there’s not much left. For the last remaining shaves, I moved it to the Turkish Copper Bowl of Doom. I would guess maybe 3 shaves left.

40 laps on leather. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! Oh yeah! A nuce relaxing shave and the Reynolds took care of business.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and drip dry. Splash of the witch hazel then a glug of the AS. Everything was right as rain! Winner winner chicken dinner right there. Digging the Florida Water. Life is good!

Home Front-
Nothing yet ... stay tuned.
