Reached for the Merkur 37C today to get rid of the scruff. An efficient little beasty it is. Loaded up with a Kai SS.

I believe I will be headed on a run of CBL soaps and carrying on from Black Rose Oud today’s choice Norse Spice. Light off the tub is the scent to me anyway but a typically excellent performing soap from Chris.

Simple two pass DFS achieved. Call your family and check in on your neighbours. Enjoy your shaves.

Happy Friday all! Yes these are trying times for all of us so please stay safe and sound! Today’s razor the ubiquitous Gillette New SC refinished by Chris Spencer at BackRoadsGold in Rhodium. Loaded up with a Feather.

In keeping with the run of CBL soaps I decided to reach for Carnation today. Thanks @Graybeard57 for the suggestion! What a great scent! Just perfect for a rainy, early spring day. The flowers will bloom again!

Lovely two pass shave and smooth as can be. What a great start to the weekend. Again, stay safe and check in on your families and neighbours.

Well I certainly hope everyone is safe and hunkered down. Read a book, drink some wine and please call those you love. Enjoy your shaves...
 
Happy Monday and sincerely wherever you are I hope you and yours are safe. The Timeless Bronze OC.78 is a very pretty razor but it is a killer of stubble. Since I had a few days growth I grabbed it today. What a flamethrower of a razor. Loaded up with a Personna Lab Blue.

Another shave and another CBL soap...hang on tight, I got lots! Today we went with Outlaw! A perfect match to Stetson! Oh yeah! Which of course I happen to have a bottle of.

Lovely two pass shave. No need for more than that with this little beasty of a razor. Smooth as silk. Stetson AS and a spritz of Bvlgari Man. Outlaw indeed, best smelling one North of the Pecos....waaaaaaaay North!

Decided to take a break from the CBL soaps today and reached for a proverbial favourite in Proraso Red. I enjoy sandalwood scents and this one is just so good.

Back to a SE in the Supply V2 just to flip things up. I like the heft and have the most aggressive plate on it all the time. Getting much better shaves out of it now and it will be a keeper.

Lovely three pass BBS shave today but it takes patience with the Supply SE. Slow and methodical for me pays off whereas the Colonial General is a Ferrari by comparison. Just me I guess. Topped it off with some Sandalwood balm and Guerlain Santal Royal! Well at least the cat thinks I smell nice! Stay safe!
