Well I had everything picked out for today’s shave and then I read Mi Hermano @bentheduck shave and well it sounded pretty awesome indeed! So an “inspiration” shave on a Friday! Woot Woot!

I do not own a Blackland Vector but I do own a Colonial General SS SE and it is a shaving thing of beauty in It’s own right! Loaded up with a fresh Schick Proline blade!

Soap of the day and in keeping with Ben’s theme Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti. Oh boy, I must admit it has been awhile since I jammed my beak into this tub...oh my what I have been missing!! Does this stuff smell awesome! The lather is ridiculously good and this can be the beginning of a very costly addiction. I have only this SV soap with the matching AS. Best not even think about it...she can hear me think.

A fantastic three pass beyond BBS shave...what is It that @BarberDave says? Dolphin Butt Smooth? Matching Dolomiti AS and some Bvlgari Man! Inspiring to say the least! Awesome shave achieved! Thanks Mi Hermano del Sur for the inspiration!

Wicked shave mi Guapo Hermano Norteño. I'm honored to influence your beak jamming shave.

I'm afraid that I might become addicted to SV.
 
A new work week is upon us and may I wish you all a safe, productive and happy one! Today’s razor of choice the iKon Deluxe OC loaded up with a Super-Max Blue Diamond. I am lucky to have the Deluxe OC, X3 slant, El Hefe SE and the Standard along with a bevy of handles. I love the X3 but this Deluxe is one excellent shaver. I enjoy the 80mm bulldog handle most with this one.

Stirling Soaps Tuscany was on my short list for today. Great scent Tuscan Cypress fragrance oil, add in some Calabrian Bergamot and Violet, and sprinkle with an array of spices. Perfect! I haven’t really been mentioning brushes of late well today the job fell to the Simpson 59 which was my first really good brush and fuelled my love for Simpson brushes. It is a big brush but the loft and knot size are perfect. I face and bow lather with it.

Lovely three pass BBS shave to start the week. Topped it off with Guerlain Habit Rouge EDP and we are good to go. Enjoy some sun if you can. Please stay safe and most important, be kind to those you meet everyday because you know not the battles they face.
