The Ultimate Aftershave: Stirling - Triumph
I apologize for not shaving sooner.
Just been on the go with work these last few days. But I wanted to make sure that Stirling Triumph made it into Top Shelf week! This scent is knocking on the door of my favorite scent (at least in my den)...Vide Poche. I have gushed about Triumph before...and I will do it again. The citrus, earth, water, floral components work incredibly well together! It is just an incredible scent to me.
I am continually impressed with this Wizamet blade that @bentheduck gave me. The proclaimers are right, (and not the I would walk 500 miles proclaimers), this blade is every bit as smooth...if not smoother...than the Polsilver...and it might have better longevity. Typically by my fourth shave, I realize that a blade is done. Today I just shaved off two days' worth of growth like it was nothing. I am interested to see how long this guy lasts.
Four passes this morning gents (I snuck...yeah I know it's not a real word... in an additional WtG pass an account of the thick beard), and my face is as smooth as an autumn decorative squash...wait...that's not right. No, My face is about as smooth as they get! A few splashes of the good stuff...and I am feeling great (despite my lack of sleep...I'll get to that in a second). A DFS++ and I am feeling very Invictus this morning!
The Danger Zone:
I was so happy that College Football was on last night. Stayed up even for the Utah game... Chad @Cvargo would be proud. Well I stayed up until the game was in hand (fourth quarter I think). Seriously though...why did they have to start that game well after 9 PM? Yeah, I know...it was about 7 PM in Utah...but seriously...start that thing at like 5 PM Utah time...I don't care if people are getting off of work then.
The father-in-law asked me if I can help him change his breaks tomorrow morning. What can I say...well I can't tell him no. I don't have an issue helping him...but it's going to be a several hour affair. Yeah I know...break pads shouldn't take that long on four wheels. First of all...you don't know my father-in-law. Secondly, he asked ME to help him out! I am very capable of changing out break pads...but I am notoriously slow at doing any kind of mechanical labor. Even when I am trying to be fast! I informed him that I would be happy...but we need to start the task by 7 AM so that we can be done by 11.
It's a great day Cadre! Let's represent wet shavers all around and give this world a "what to!"

. Since my Lazy Day Shave yesterday consisted of no shave at all...I had substantial growth to clear. Pulled out the Injector for the brush cutting (first pass) and used the Progress for the final three. Results? Super Smooth BBS on everything except the little pits on either side of my Adam's Apple. Super splashes of the aftershave of the same name (forgot to mention there may have been some Mammoth Painting as well as an homage to
