Good to see your sensitive postings again. Hadn't heard from you in a while but I understood you had considered moving in with Uncle Mikey. That poor old cloudberry brandy swilling, suicide considering Svenska guy...he is a lovable fellow. Did you ever figure out who was gonna be the husband? Heh, probably neither one of you wanted to play that part........

Man, you are not gonna forget about those few aftershave 'incidents' from the past.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso preshave - sensitive
Soap: Stirling Bay Rum
Brush: Omega boar 10005
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Razor: Weber + Bulldog
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (2)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, Nivea ASB

Bay Rum theme this morning, this is my favourite Stirling soap by far. It's the only Stirling one I have which scent continues throughout the shave. Lovely lather leading to a smooth hassle-free result.

Happy Sunday, gents.

Great lighting of the Xmas tree & lights; warm and comforting feel. Did you use a starburst effect for the tree lights or was it just serendipity?
 

Face wash with Pears soap
Merkur Digress HD B / Tescos Personna
Simpson “Chubby” 3 Manchurian Cobalt
Proraso White Soap (New Formula)
Proraso Green A/S


My shaves don't get much better than this :)

Gratuitous shot using the xmas lights before the ceremonial untangling begins.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Personna Super Platinum Chrome (NOS)
J. Peterman 1903 SC
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Royall BayRhum All Purpose Lotion (not bad at all but doesn't last even for a little while)

Last week's worth of shaves have been with either the Webly or the Schick F type. Probably the number 7-8 shave with this blade but still just fine.

The J. Peterman's been in the rotation for maybe 5 years or so. Excellent performance all around, and y'all would really like the scent....part of the '1903' collection. Very classy frag.

BBS results,

Martin
