Sorry Bruce! Just sayin....
The filter I used for the picture brings out the lovely blue in the handle.
now I know why you did not invite her to the call, afraid someone would tell her this, LOLWish I would have found my bride at a thrift store...she would have been a hell'a'lot cheaper!Oh, wait, we are not talking about our wives?
All caught up Ed Good reads and great photos
Thank you @BarberDave ...
Well now welcome to the Saturday of a long weekend here in Canada...The Victoria Day long weekend! Or May 24 as we like to call it....yes it isn’t the 24th but there IS 24 beers in a case! However, this “May 24” is a little different now isn’t it. There will be BBQ but we’ll be waiving at the neighbours and maybe spiralling a few hot dogs over the fence! Stay safe!
Loved the back to back “Aristocrat” shaves and so why not continue in that vein. Today’s razor of choice the 1966 Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable. A Gold Slim by any other name but an A’crat in my books. Loaded up with a Personna lab blue.
Soap of the day is TFS Corte Sabauda one of their 70th anniversary soaps. I have the matching AS and I have waxed poetic enough about how good it is. If you have not tried their soaps, I have several and there is not a bad scent amongst them. They are all 8/9 out 10 on scent strength and I am being conservative. Excellent performers.
Lovely three pass BBS shave. Topped it off with this combo’s match made in heaven scent...Guerlain Habit Rouge. A shame the zoom call does not have “smell-o-vision” because I smell ungodly good! Enjoy the weekend Brothers and Sisters of the Blade and stay safe!

Your weekend is off to a better start than mine, Ed. Lost the whiskers this morning and since SWMBO thinks I now look younger, I had to till the 7 veggie beds (5 boxed, 1 open) and churn in the 2 garbage buckets of compost we started last fall. She said "It stinks like manure" and I said "Duh, it's rotten veggies." My back is telling me that I'm done, not just for the day, but for the weekend.
Never tried this brand. Nice shave. Any Aristocrat shave is a good one, IME.
I will risk the hot dog butt...just sayin!
They are great soap makers and on the third generation I believe! TFS is the real deal and a vegan base. Impressive to say the least Bruce!
All Caufght up Ed, sorry I missed your PM but it seemed to be all A-ok and just FYI the video is not public
Well I was lining up a shave with the Feather SS Kamisori today as I was feeling all inspired by the SR workshop hosted by @BarberDave but I slept funny and well, my neck ain’t haven’t it! So parachute in the the Merkur 34G loaded up with a Gillette Rubie.
Soap of the day Stirling Weekend in Malibu! It’s a rainy Victoria Day but this soap sure does help. Matching AS is just great!
Lovely two pass DFS achieved because well, there is much on the honey-do-list to get at! Hope the weekend has been good folks! Stay safe!
