Last Night’s Shave:
SOTD: 07/14/2022
Razor: Wacker Solingen 6/8” INOX
Brush: Stirling Soap Finest Badger Green Striped

Today’s Shave:
SOTD: 07/15/2022
Razor: Supply Co Single Edge 2.0
Blade: Supply Co Single Edge Injector (Black), 5th use
Brush: Boti Brush Classic Stable Wood & Green Resin
Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary Lime Mug
Soap: Barrister & Mann Reserve Waves Puck
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Surf Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Vegan Balm
Additional Care: Paco Rabanne Sport De Paco Rabanne
Nice green, fresh shave - enjoyed very much. The Supply SE is a very mild razor and so today’s noggin shave was smooth as silk. I dig the vintage AS and cologne - and I added a splash of synthetic menthol to keep things cool.
Today is my mother’s 80th birthday - though she swears it’s her 36th - maybe dementia has set in
. She did break a vertebrae in her back this week watering the plants - she’s doing good - but does require pain killers. But she is in good spirits that it must be a first for a doctor to hear the reason of how…….but they are going to do a fusion/glue procedure on her. She said all she wanted for her birthday was a call from her grandkids- so I know she is good to go.
I think we’ll hit one of the pools today later this evening - other than that - no real plans.
Have a great weekend!

Surfs up!!!
Thank you kindly my brother!Happiest of Birthdays to your mom!
Congratulations on your mother's 80th. Sorry to hear about her back, but the procedure you described is simple, and quite often effective.Today is my mother’s 80th birthday - though she swears it’s her 36th - maybe dementia has set in
SOTD: 07/16/2022
Razor: Fritz Bracht Tennis No. 110
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements The Solar Flare
Bowl: Walmart Soup Mug
Preshave: Ariana & Evans Slick Stick Soap
Soap: Ginger’s Garden Long Island Iced Tea Stick
Aftershave: Ginger’s Garden Long Island Iced Tea Aftershave
Balm: Soap Commander Refreshment Balm
Additional Care: Ginger’s Garden Long Island Iced Tea EdC
Took one of my new razors our for a spin today! The soap, AS, cologne are a bespoke that Irene made for me - out of a series of three. This one, a Dark & Stormy, and that inspired her to do one called Salty Dog - all homages to the cocktails. I have to say - she really has a talent for fragrances - all three illicit exactly what I wanted - reminds you of the cocktail without you protruding to everyone you’re a wino. I would actually buy any of the three at a department store, their that good IMO.
Going to be a warm weekend. Some more sun tea in the future I predict!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy burpday mom!!
Not yet my friend - each one has a little nuance that I like and so far most have superb edges. And I’m enjoying getting my straight skills down.
Somehow, I think we'll see a lot of this!
SOTD: 07/17/2022
Razor: Gevoso No 131
Brush: Rajon Cajon Tye Dye Acrylic
Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary Red Mug
Soap: Stirling Soap Smokey Grapefruit Puck
Aftershave: Stirling Soap Smokey Grapefruit Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man The Healers Balm
Additional Care: Prada Luna Rossa Carbon EdT
And @NurseDave said the grapefruit scent does not pair well with peatiness. Obviously, he has not met our friend Stirling. Now yes, I can see you asking - why would anyone want to ruin their wonderful pamplemousse with sweaty sweat socks and ashtrays……but Stirling found a way to pull it off - I guess they are using higher quality sweatsocks than you can find in Scotland. The EdT is similar to Dior Sauvage, which unlike its older brother, to me is just ok. I totally get the appeal, but it’s one of those colognes that I will wear once in a while - but not all the time - it might be the heavy concentration ambroxin. To me, the Prada basically tames the scent using a good deal of lavender. I like it more…..still not one of my favs, but I like it enough and Sauvage to keep it in my collection.
Right now I am experiencing an issue at work that this is one of those few times I miss being completely in charge of the network. Have an issue and I can’t bump myself to the head of the line……
C’est la vie.
Well, @BarberDave got me good for his Sunday shave video……..now, most folks would say that its time to lay down the sword (razor) - can’t we all get along? Flat honing, convex honing, dripping water on your brush, spray bottles, nuclear powered spray bottles (Obscenely priced I might add)……
But I’m of the other ilk…..
Have a great day everyone!
