MdC Original

Happy Sunday Everyone. I enjoyed the new brush so much I just had to use it again today. With @primotenore mentioning MdC I knew what soap I would use this morning. I adore MdC. The soap just flat works for me and the lavender scent over a the medicinal scent of benzoin is simply amazing. MdC loads and lathers so easily, I have to remind myself to take the time and add enough water. The soap really works so much better when properly hydrated. Three passes and touch ups with the Pils caught the baby with ease. This software and hardware combo works well together. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

Shave Soap & Aftershave

Happy Monday I think. Weekends are just too short. At least I was able to get in a relaxing shave before starting the day. A drama free near BBS shave in three passes and touch ups. I am just not on my game this morning. I have been dealing with some serious abdominal pain for about the last week. I can tell if it is a diverticulitis flare up, an issue with the mesh or a scare tissue tear. Whatever the reason, it freaking hurts. If things do not improve this week, I will go into the doctors but I am not looking forward to all the tests that will have to be done. Sorry to get into all that, I just felt like venting. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

Sorry you're not feeling well, Clint.

Why wait, Clint? If it's been a couple of days without relief, it needs to be investigated.

Stubborn I guess Bruce. After 8 abdominal surgeries and 19 years of living with a certain level of residual pain, I have settled on a given level of pain before I go to the doctor. It’s frustrating to go to the doctor and go through with a scan or mri with no firm results.

Sorry to hear that you’re dealing with that again, Clint.
On a more positive note, you’ve had a nice run with the PILS for sure.

Wolfman WR2 105mm
Feather
BSB-2
WSP Fresh Vetiver
Shave Soap & After Shave

​

Happy Tuesday Everyone. It is amazing how much a good night's rest can improve one's outlook. I feel so much better today. I went digging through the shave cabinet and pulled out some neglected items. I have not used the Wolfman WR2 recently and I really can't say why. I find the razor's smoothness and efficiency right in my sweet spot. Sticking with the neglected items I went with the BSB-2 and the WSP Fresh Vetiver. I just find the handle on the BSB too small so it always gets pushed aside. The WSP soap and after shave were a gift from my daughter, Asha. When she lived in Tempe she would go by the WSP store and pick out items that she liked and thought I would enjoy. I can say she hit a home run with this one. This vetiver is bright and green over an earthy base. The scent of the after shave lasts for several hours. As expected three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. Overall a wonderful shave and I really couldn't ask for better. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
