And finally a week off work and a return to the SOTD. And on this most wonderful Bank Holiday Monday my theme was 'BA Barocco and his A-Team shave'
'I don't hate cartridge razor shavers, but I pity them'
Now there is a man who should have some interesting SOTD's. And especially for the head shavers among you
Colonel Lynch the razor - Colonial General SS
Howling Mad Murdock the blade - Kai Captain
Templeton 'Face(man)' Peck the brush - Cadman 30mm Tuxedo in copper and black
BA Baracus the soapy one - Extro Baracco
John Hannibal Smith the scented smoothy - Extro Barocco aftershave
I haven't been posting too much recently, not because I am bored of this place (heaven forbid) or walked away from shaving but simply because life and work has recently taken over most of my time. I have had to adjust to working in my new port (oddly enough my home town) and being monitored as to ability before being allowed to be let loose towing without someone looking over my shoulder. This past week being the first week for a solo drive and hence more focused on other matters in life. Fortunately all went safely and all went well.
Then this past weekend saw our granddaughter make her first sleep-over at Nan and Granddad's which for us was a wonderful point in our lives. Other than getting her lathered in acrylic paint in the name of art she went back home with a big grin and a very little happy four year old. We look forward to her staying at our place again in the very near future.
An artist in the making
I get the message BA. My SOTD..........
What started out as an Ikon SB, Mr T soon put right and after a bit of time in his workshop out popped a Colonial General. To be honest I started in two frames of mind and choice fell the way of the General. As much as I love the Ikons (and pleased to see a few appearing here on the SOTD section recently. Have faith) the General is probably the one razor I could live with if push came to pull. A class act giving brilliantly close shaves with the greatest lack of fuss in the quickest possible time. Shaves have been squeezed in to the little precious time I can afford recently and the Colonial has been very much my 'reach for'.
A new soap on the block in the way of Extro Barocco. Extro are nothing new to me as with the demise of OSP ( @OSP there are other more important matters in life than motorbikes) they are slowly working their way to the top of my lather tree. I recall someone describing Barocco as having a scent of an upmarket toilet cleaner and to be honest they ain't far from wrong. I just wish our toilet smelt as nice. An unusual scent but very much down my street......and U-bend. And just to reinforce the matter the aftershave splash adds to the WC sensation.
The Cadman isn't just working its way to the top of my brush tree it has quite simply appeared at the top since it arrived at the door. Another one on the horizon soon.
So a great shave and very happy and achieving to be back on the SOTD train. A true A-Team shave and smoother than the jelly my granddaughter made.
'I ain't getting on no plane' and in which case over to The Foo Fighters
Have a most wonderful week ahead all you shavers
