The Deets-
So … it’s Thursday but not my Friday. I have really enjoyed using the Bay Rum this week. Not sure if I will hit it again tomorrow or go a different direction. I may hit another sample that I picked up from Matt. Today I tried a two pass shave (WTG and ATG) and that usually doesn’t work for me, I typically need that third pass. But on my WTG pass I went with the “Gillette Slide” and that did the trick. Two smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Chased that with the matching aftershave and everything was right as rain! Good stuff. Life is good!

Thanks Brian! That has a deer antler in the middle of it.
Now that must be one of a kind!

It is at least from him. He created only one and wasn’t going to sell it. He PIFed it on The Cadre instead and I was lucky enough to snag it up.
