Shave Count (DE: 304 SR: 277)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Torrey SR
Zenith boar
SC Vetiver and Vanilla soap

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Florida Water AS

The process-
Random kit today and a late morning shave. Loaded the soap for 30 seconds and and whipped up a nice lather. But I broke it with too much water and had to reload for the third pass.

A quick 25 laps on balsa and 50 on leather. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Scored a BBS for the win!

Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. A splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Good shave, but I get a better post shave feel with Stirling or MWF.

Home front-
Was invited to a cookout today and we are in. A kinda lazy weekend with rain Friday and Saturday. Got 2.5” in total. Before the rain on Friday I picked up several 60lbs bag of sand. The last one I picked up the wrong way. I tweaked my back and have been slamming Advil ever since. It should sort itself out in a few days. That’s all I have at the moment. Life is good!

Shave Count (DE: 304 SR: 278)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Boker SR
DSC badger
Krokus soap

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Nivia ASB

The process-
Random kit all the way. I haven’t used the Krokus in awhile, so it’s on deck. It’s a nice soap with a light pleasant scent. I wouldn’t usually have something like this in my collection, but I picked it up in a trade. The DSC made quick work of the lather. At 20 seconds I had a ton of bubbly lather going on. It stabilized and whipped up a ton of lather. I could have shaved twice with the lather I had. The Boker got the nod today. There is just something about this razor, it usually bites me. I just get it close to my face and BAM!

To freshen it up, a quick 25 laps on balsa and 50 on leather. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Great shave and the razor didn’t bite me today. I am BBS for the win! Nice ... very nice!

Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. A splash of the ASB and everything was right as rain! That was a pleasant shave. The post shave feel is not as hydrated feeling as others, but it’s not bad. It doesn’t feel dry. Nice, light and smooth. I’ll take it.

Home front-
Just bumming around today. I have to help my brother work on his car. Other than that, no plans. We’ll see what the day holds. Life is good!
 
Have a great day, fellow BBS brother! I don't remember smelling that Vetiver and Vanilla. It sounds wonderful.
