Happy Friday! Hope everyone’s week was good and that the weekend will be a safe and restful one for you!

I am going to be diving into one blade February with this razor and blade combo; Colonial General SS and the Schick ProLine AC. I wanted to try an SE and AC combo to change things up from my normal DE exploits. Before the peanut gallery (well, only two nuts) chimes in with “kam-i-sori...kam-i-sori”....NO! So today I wanted to get a shave in to see if this would be a good choice.

Soap of the day was RazoRock Gold with the matching AS. What a bargain! Love this soap and scent and I must say for the money I have never had (to date) and issue with their soaps or AS.

Lovely two pass shave and smooth as can be. Topped off with some Prada and we are set for the weekend. Stay safe!

I’ll call it “Manly Monday” right out the gate. It’s like Terry Crews jumped into the shave den and punched me in the yapper when I use Stirling Gatlinburg. The scent pulls no punches and I truly enjoy it! Though Terry walloping my melon in the morning probably not so much...😂

Razor of the day the quite lovely Gillette Aristocrat Junior from around 1956-58. Another beautiful Brit A’crat that came in a lovely red case with the red retaining band. Thus, the 56-58 timeframe. Regardless it is another well made Gillette razor from the UK and shaves wonderfully mild. Loaded with a Feather blade on its fifth use (and still going strong) for today.

Lovely and leisurely shave this morning packed full of super and strong goodness! Topped off with JV Dark Rebel! Boom!

There is a storm brewing and we are probably going to get a blanket of snow for pretty much the rest of the day and overnight. Will it is the Great White North after all....
