Proraso Red AS
The process-
Happy Hump Day! It is Wednesday and the week is half over (or a bit more if you are off on Friday). Still rocking the same kit and trying to put a dent in this Proraso Red. A quick 30 second load time with a wet brush and the Proraso is good to go. I guess the Semogue is breaking in ok, it doesn't shed and it's starting to get that bed head look. And yup, I still dig the Sandalwood scent.
40 quick laps on the leather again today. Went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Another great shave in the books and I am BBS for the win! Had a lot of lather going and it was slick enough to take care of business.
Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and towel dry. A healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Simple .. easy ... consistent. Life is good!
Home Front-
Not really anything new to report yet. I think I may have forgot to mention that we have tickets to CATS the musical on Saturday night. So it will be a full day. I think that's all I have.
I thought CATS stopped being a thing in the early 2000's? Obviously not. Lol. Sounds like fun, I remember watching VHS movies and seeing the ads for the show and tape.
That's the first time anybody has ever called me old...and it came from an old guy.

Enjoy the show Tim
Speaking of cats, my family has three. The only time they'll gather is when we fill the food dishes! Enjoy the show.

TGITHMY! That's right boys and girls, it's a short work week and I am wrapping it up today. I did mix the kit up a bit with another razor and brush ... just because. The Omega Pro did a great job and with a 30 second load time whipped up a bunch of lather. Threw a lot of water at it and never had an issue. I also now have a hole punched in the Proraso, so it's on the downhill slide. Just a matter of time.
Went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was an awesome easy peasy shave and I am BBS for the win! Don't know how many shaves are on that Astra, but it can still get the job done. Man that was nice.
Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and towel dry. A glug of the AS and everything was right as rain! Really nice shave to wind down the work seek and I smell awesome. Life is good!

You guys already have the straight dope, so I don't have anything new to report. Other an than our temps just plummeted with a cold front moving through ... yuck.

Late morning shave awesomeness today! Mixed the kit up again ... just because, and starting the weekend random. The Fat got the nod today. There is just something about this soap. Nice light scent, easy to build lather that is slick and the post shave feel is nice too. You can follow this up with any AS and I like that versatility. Stirling boar was the go to brush and I cannot say enough good things about this brush, I really dig it. It whipped up a ton of wet lather and it was awesome.
40 laps on leather while the water was warming. Went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! That was another great shave and the Dovo didn’t disappoint. I think it still has the original film edge I put on it. Maintenance has simply been the leather strop, no balsa. Nice ... very nice!
Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and towel dry. A glug of the AS and everything was right as rain! oh yes it was! That’s the way to start the day. Man I smell awesome.Life is good!
Home Front-
Weekend plans are laid out, as you know. Nothing planned today, it’s just a bum around day. I really needed that. I also received some shocking news. My wife doesn’t care for the Avon Oland or the Florida Water. What?! She said “They are ok ... stand over there.” Her sniffer must not be working right. Hm. Well folks, that’s the straight dope as I know it.
