Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 355 SE: 6 SR: 395)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Gillette NEW LC
Eddison blade (1)
Stirling boar
PdP 63 soap

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
PdP 63 AS

The Process-
Late morning shave ... uh yeah. I haven’t used PdP in awhile, it’s been in the the Dopp bag. So I dug it out this morning. The Eddison blades I picked up in a trade awhile back, so it got the nod today. I also grabbed the NEW, which hasn’t seen much action. The Stirling has broken in well and whipped up a nice lather with no issues. I had enough lather for the shave and post shave.

Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. A very nice shave and I am BBS for the win! Not sure if it was my angle, the blade or what but the shave was not as comfortable as it could have been. But no nicks or irritation, so it’s all good. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. A splash of witch hazel and a smear of the ASB. Everything was right as rain! A good change up to keep it interesting. Life is good!

Home Front-
So today is a chill day. I was having some issues with ingrown nails and the toe bro either hooked me up or jacked me up. I’m not sure which yet. Two toes had nail removed on both sides and a laser was involved. The little piggy lost the nail completely. Wrapping is so big that I can’t wear socks or shoes. So today I am just sitting around with cold feet and chewing Advil. Grrrrrr I hate being stuck in a chair.

Okay, so we've never seen Tim's face but have seen his hands and most of his toes. Hope you heal quickly man

 

[NurseDave]

........ouch

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

Bummer about the toes, but I’m sure you’ll be happy once everything heals up.

I love that razor by the way!

Post Shave-
Post shave lather

The Process-
Rocking the Piacenza today with a quick update. Very nice shave and I am BBS for the win! I decided the Eddison blades are not too great. I scored a BBS with it, but it didn’t last long.

Home Front-
Fee are doing better. Showered and re-bandaged last night and the swelling is down. Plus I can wear socks and my sandals today. At the vet now for some teeth work on a horse. Life is good!

Glad feet are improving and yep, gotta keep them horses with a pretty smile

Their teeth get like bone spurs that have to be filed off.

Their teeth get like bone spurs that have to be filed off.

I knew there was a logical and serious reason for it

That's a beautiful looking brush. How's Piacenza smell? I hear it's similar to Razorock xxx.

 

[NurseDave]

Agree, that brush has some nice swirls on it

Thank you. I haven’t tried XXX, but the Piacenza is citrus forward and I’m digging it. If you want to PM me your address I’ll send you a sample.

The brush is a DS Cosmetic. I scored it on the bay.

The missus went to see her Aunt for a few days, so me and the critters are bach’in it. It’s sunny and 75 ... beautiful day. Just chill’in a bit and may try to work on the bathroom shelving. Need to cut, stain and seal the wood. We’ll see what the d

Shave Count (DE: 356 SE: 6 SR: 397)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Gillette Fatboy
Wizamet (1)
Stirling synth
PAA Sangre de Drago soap (sample)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Water splash

The Process-
Quick update. Decided to hit this sample again ... man this stuff smells great. A pea sized scoop in the Copper Bowl whipped up a ton of wet, creamy lather. Scored a great shave and I am BBS for the win! Didn’t use anything else, just to keep the scent a touch longer. That and gauge the post shave feel, which is nice. Yup, I have got to get this one. If the splash has the same characteristics as the AA Bay Rum, it should be amazing. Life is good!

Home Front-
Just honey-dos around the house today and taking care of critters. May try to work on a few things also. We’ll see.

Sounds like you’ve had a nice wrap up to the weekend! Way to go Tim!
