Yesterday and today both saw my efforts to work through and finish my TTFFC Pink Graprefruit and my last Mach-3 cart continue unabated. Visible difference in my soap stick, but it won't finish this week, and my Mach-3 cart could be ditched now but I will see it though to tomorrow or Sunday.

 

[dangerousdon]

Pretty much the same soap as last! Pretty much the same shave as last! Oh what a wonderful shave!

Mortal Kombat Week continues with the Mach-3 looking doomed to die and my TTFFC Pink Grapefruit consumption progressing nicely!

Sam the Mortal Kombat is supposed to be on your soap...not on your face...

Concerning you Mach-3....Finish It!

We have to play the cards we are dealt, Don. I have accepted that I'll never be as Sex Panther manly as @Somnos, so no longer strive for perfection; not having to wear a paper bag mask around SWMBO is my measure of success.

Mortal Kombat!!!!!! .... the Mach-3 is done! (and I have no more carts for it)

However, the TTFFC Pink Grapefruit lives on for next week's adventure in The Best Scents of Summer

Well in keeping with the Summer scents...until the very last minute! Stirling Orange Chill...mentholated. Oh so good!

Now today’s razor the Merkur 34G, “G” stands for Gangsta! Love this razor! Now all of Woodpusher’s griping about “I’m too sexy for Milan”...threw me off my game and today I reached for a “new” blade in the Gillette Super Thin made in Thailand. Hey why not eh? Oh my...I got through two WTG strokes....and I almost had one...a stroke. Tuggy and all around crap. Ejected and replaced with a fresh Wilkinson Sword (German)...should of known better. Hey @Cvargo do I have a bad blade for you to try!

Anyway, got through a wonderful two pass DFS. Thanks @woodpusher now keep that bad ju-ju to yourself.

Happy shaves all...

Lotion: Gillette aftershave gel

Been shaving with Arko and Derby stick since September. So it felt good to have a shave with something different. Picked MW as it was one of the soaps I really missed during that time. Also trying to finish it off. Figure I have about 6 shaves worth of soap left.

While I enjoy my Turkish shaves. I kind of missed the post shave feel of a good artisan soap like MW provides.

My TTFFC Pink Grapefruit (duh!) continues the week of summer scents.

 

[dangerousdon]

Decided to do another shave with my Stirling Weekend in Malibu! Man does that stuff smell great!

B&M Tuesday is a beautiful summer scent - though I do use it all year, but only on Tuesday.

Island Man... Classic summer scent!

Pink Grapefruit for breakfast* again this morning.
Despite my issues with this soap (underperforming again now that I have rotated my Yaqi Sagrada out), the scent is very nice.
