Yesterday was SV Stella Alpina with the Shumates Barber SR. For this week I’ll use the Ralf Aust and Stirling Deton-8 set. Nice late morning shave today and I am enjoying a chill day. Then back to work tomorrow … hm. Three smooth passes this morning left me BBS for the win! A healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! It’s the simple pleasures. Life is good!

The Deets-
This week I am using Ethos Succes. Yesterday I was in a hurry and grabbed a DE. Yesterday I also got my Boker back from Matt @Luecke3262, but it was late in the afternoon. He was kind enough to put an Ocean Jasper edge on this for me and it is nice! It’s a smooth comfortable edge that doesn’t sacrifice sharpness.

When I am trying a new straight or a new edge, I have no reservations. I am just eager to try it, like I was this morning. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a great shave that left me BBS for the win! Chased that with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Man that was a great start to the day. Thank you again Matt for the edge, I appreciate it. Life is good!

TGITHMF! That’s right friends and neighbors, it’s my Friday. Shhh, don’t tell @NurseDave. I have really enjoyed the Ethos and the Boker this week and will hit it again tomorrow to finish out the week. Life is good!
