Looks like it could use some TLC, but is in otherwise great shape. Looks like I'm using Barber Shoppe tomorrow!

The Shave-
Early morning shave today and I was a bit pressed for time, so the Gillette got the nod. I also kept the same boar brush and grabbed the CC Venture ... just because. The soap whipped up a lather very quickly and I added water as a went. I have probably mentioned that I dig the scent of Venture, I just would like it a bit stronger with more longevity.
Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a very nice, easy peasy shave and I am DFS for the win. I did miss a smidge by my Adams Apple. I also had enough lather left for a post shave lather while I cleaned my shave gear. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! It’s gonna be a good day. Life is good!

Hard landing and no blood. Nice !!
Don’t know how I managed that. For some reason, shaves have been a struggle this week.
Thanks Chris!
I've got the Green Valley Links too, but haven't used it yet. Smells great.
It was a great shave, but I can’t smell any added scent on this puck. I just smell the base, I think.
Yes, it was a really good shave. Was crazy busy at work again, so didn’t put much in the journal. Almost forgot to mention TGITHMF! Cadre Friday is on the horizon.

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Florida Water
Frag: none
The Shave-
I am off work today so I started it off with a late morning shave. Changed up a bit of the kit today and decided to have some fun with the Marco Method. Basically that’s a very wet brush and a lot of soap loading. I think I loaded for about 65 seconds and continued to throw water at it throughout the shave. My gosh that was a bunch of lather and a lot of fun.
I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a good shave, but a little off. The blade didn’t feel like it was removing stubble like it should. And it wasn’t. Luckily the ATG pass brought it all home and I am BBS for the win! Oh my did I have some lather left. More than enough for a post shave lather while I cleaned my shave gear.
Finished up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! A great start to the day. Life is good!
