This shave carried with it the theme 'Leave it to Beaver'

Beaver cleaver - Stainless Colonial General
Busy beaver - Schick Proline
Beaver brush (but not a beaver brush) - Yaqi Dandelion
Beaver cream (?) - Gentleman's Tonic
Eager beaver - Faena aftershave balm

So a beavering away type of shave and this past week as seen much the same gear in action as I am stuck on the boat for another 2 weeks and so limited.

During this past week away my son developed Covid-19 which threw our world in to turmoil and worry. It did mean I couldn't go home as I would have had to isolate for 14 days so the company decided it would be better I stay onboard.

Very happy to say he has improved no end and back at his own place but I still remain here as my wife is now isolating. Everyone is good and that is all I care about.

I popped over to see my wife this morning to have a garden gate natter just as the postie turned up with my Enoch so at least I do have something new to play with.

So a super beaver smooth shave and a happier day than this past week.


Be well one and all and enjoy this beautiful weather and the weekend. I know I shall.

Dam these beavers but I give you another type of beaver to sign off on. Those pretty Japanese ladies, Otoboke Beaver

Hoping your son has a full & speedy recovery Chris.

Greetings,


A relaxing sunday morning shave.

My shave this morning is another example to myself that i don't need expensive shaving products to achieve a good comfortable shave...The addition of the wilko shave oil was a great asset with the shave this morning something i will now add more regular to my pre-shave routine.

It's always a pleasure to use my what i consider 'my more expensive shaving items' in my den, it makes me appreciate them more when i use them but, i get the same enjoyment & results from either, today was no exception.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Soothing ASB.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

I decided to try a cold water shave today, my 1st attempt i did not enjoy so much, as i did not get a close finish.
My technique must have improved since then as i really enjoyed that, i completed a face lather which worked really well, i just dampened the face and worked up a nice lather. The CH2 synth holding enough for the shave.
I did notice that the Audio feedback was a bit louder and the Sabre just did its job, with remarkable, comfortable efficiency.
2 passes, WTG and a Mixed pass leaving me BBS, a cold splash, rub of witch hazel and the post shave skin feel is very very nice.
Finishing off the post shave with the Barts Balm lotion and balm then a splash of Old Spice.
I am smooth, comfortable and smelling good.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All
