The Process-
Late morning shave today and it was luxurious. Kicked the snooze button to the curb for the weekend and enjoyed waking up naturally. I went with a 20 second load time, with a warm brush and it whipped up a really nice lather. Did I mention the scent? ... very nice!

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. No playing today, I wanted to enjoy all three warm passes and that was some goodness. Slow, steady and smooth. Did I mention that I am BBS for the win! Also had extra for a post shave lather.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Oh yes it was. That’s a shave to start the day. Life is good!

Always a great start to the day when I can do that followed by a great shave!

The Process-
I didn’t realize how exceptional yesterday’s shave was until this morning. I hardly had any stubble to shave today. But that won’t stop us from another glorious BBS ... no it won’t. I am one again clean shaved and smelling great! Life is good!

Oh no it won’t!

BOOM! Barber Dave would add more letters to a BBS like that. Something like DSBBS-G.

It works fine for face lathering. I haven’t whipped it up in a bowl to see what I get.

So ... it’s a BBS.

So ... it’s a BBS.

But, but, but....there are degrees of BBS

Gotcha. I figured if you can pass the cotton ball test then you are BBS. If not, you go down from there. But I guess you could factor in longevity ...

Some baby asses are smoother than others, BRBS* isn't all that great, BRHBS** is as good as it gets.

* baby rhino butt smooth
** baby red head butt smooth

I seem to remember hearing that baby red head butt smooth was crazy.

TGIWMF! You read that right friends and neighbors and no pic for you today. An early morning shave and it was very nice. I switched out the blade and grabbed a Wizamet. Three easy peasy passes and I am BBS for the win! So nice. I think I can get two more shaves out of this soap. That will free my mug for another soap that is waiting off stage. Life is good!

 

[GearNoir]

Nice job working down that soap Tim!
