You've got me thinking I should go to Iron Throne next. Been sitting in a drawer for at least a year!

 

[woodpusher]

The Iron Throne can be chilly to sit on, Bruce. Wood seats in the outhouse is a much better choice, especially in winter!

Except... Splinters. Ouch! [emoji24]

I worry about him using it every day as well.

Now THAT was worth the wait!

 

[NurseDave]

Well, you may not have been exposed, but you sure have been "touched" as they say.

Looking forward to that massive goatee you'll have going!

 

[Majorrich]

Back here in the hills it’s pronounced “tetched”

 

[woodpusher]

You're so very special, bless your heart.

 

[Fenster]

Slightly disturbing, but had a smile on my face all 4:40. Well done Rich

[Graybeard57]

This is hysterical. You deserve some sort of video badge. Nice technique on glove removal, BTW.

25 February 2021. One Blade February shave 8 (?)

Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable short / Wizamet
Soap: RazoRock Bay Rum
Scuttle: Captains Choice
Strop:
Brush: Steirling fan shaped Badger
AS/eDt: Rich’s DFET Bay Rum

Comments: a quick two passer this morning taking care of some quick details before the roofers come tomorrow.

The Hardware: The Super is performing as it should. The last of the adjustable Gillette’s. As smooth as any razor in the fleet Wizamet blade in its prime.

The Software: Strength of scent is off the charts! Lathering is easy and plentiful...and green!

The Shave: Two passes are all I need to achieve my DFS objective N-S and S-N. I don’t do a lot of these shaves as they don’t last as long as three and four pass shaves. Gives me a chance to shave Saturday.

 

[GearNoir]

Very nice Rich!

11 March 2021

Razor: Feather Scalloped clone / Kai guarded blade
Soap: Tabac
Scuttle: Captains Choice
Strop:
Brush: Semogue 1305
AS/eDt: Tabac

Comments: I woulda filmed today’s shave... but just didn’t do it.

The Hardware: These clones are pretty good! I tested several varieties, and they are all pretty good. Almost indistinguishable from the real deal. Definitely travel kit material, almost would be upset if it got lost.

The Software: Tabac. The quintessential barbershop scent from Chermany. Effortlessly lathered by the classic brush. Ready to go in just a few whips. A great soap with a kinda polarizing fragrance. I like it. But I’m old and take lots of drugs, so there ya go.

The Shave: When you have a combination of proven software, great hardware, and pretty good muscle memory, you can’t help but come out smooth. And this was the case today. Almost wish I had some Tabac Talc.

Looking over my shave locker, I’m considering boxing up some of the soaps and frags to make room for more. I dunno, a fasting thought.

 

[woodpusher]

Quick math says I have about 10 yrs of soaps in my stash. Gotta break out some denser brushes to help eat them up.

But did you have reasons?

 

[Majorrich]

But did you have reasons?

Nope... just din’t
