Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Excellence! I’ve got a soap bar (non shaving) of Frank’s Dragonsbeard scent...phenomenal! I hope to be able to score one of his shave sets at some point!

The Process-
Very nice late morning shave today. Kept the same kit, except for the aftershave. When I started working on this puck, I thought it was about a half. It may have been smaller than that because I am burning through it at a pretty good pace. The brush is doing great, with the tips and splay coming along nicely. This Shave Forge knot is a steal at $5. Today was the first day that it didn’t shed.

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather to get me going. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a very nice, relaxing shave and I am BBS for the win! Yeah baby! I’ll take those all week long please. I may have hate loaded a smidge, so I had plenty for a post shave lather.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Really enjoying these shaves. Very nice performance and I get to mix up the aftershaves too. I haven’t tried it yet, but I also have a tin if the Haslinger Honey. I have that in my dopp bag and expect it to last a long time. Life is good!

Home Front-
Almost forgot to mention that today is my day off. Not much planned, but I am at the vet with the bulldog. Her skin allergies are acting up again, so she gets a couple of shots. Will probably have to bring the horses up here as well. The up and down weather is giving them snotty noses. I think that’s all I have at the moment.
 
You almost let a Cadre Friday pass without it being proclaimed loudly?! 😮

Glad it’s been an easy day. Hope the pooch gets some relief. We need to take our shepherd mix in again too for the same thing.

The Process-
Another very nice shave again today. I know I have mentioned that the soap performance is very good. I am also digging the aftershave options that it opens up. Stayed with the Proraso Red and I am going to have to try the super formula. I enjoyed the last tub, so I am curious about the new one. Almost forgot to mention the brush shed another two hairs today. Hopefully we will be done with that soon. Anyway, I am BBS and smelling good. Life is good!
