Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

Glad that the shave was a bright spot for you Tim.

Thanks Ken!!

I’m really digging that warm lather.

I love my SWK scuttle. In the winter hot water. And in the hot summer weather you can use cold water. That's what I do. So copy at your own risk Tim

The Process-
Great shave this morning. I scored the day off, so it was a late morning shave. Krokos hasn’t been on deck for awhile, so it got the nod. Paired it with the Avon Everest, which is another winner.

Clean shaved and smelling great. Life is good!

The Process-
A very nice shave this morning. The last time I used Stirling One, the missus commented on it. I mentioned that I was burning through that one and it’s unobtainium. She asked me to set it aside for occasional use. So ... here we are with the Alighieri. My standard shave and everything was right as rain! And of course ... Life is good!

Home Fromt-
The missus and I had a Rona test today ... don’t ask. And the great news is that my Graydogboar brush is in the house. It finally came in after a “delay” with the Post Office. It has been outfitted with a new Boar knot from Shave Forge and will be on deck tomorrow. My brother and stepson are doing a lot better and the stepdaughter seems to be getting better as well. Thank everyone again for the prayer, positive energy and thoughts.

How do you pronounce Alighieri ?

How do you pronounce Alighieri ?

I don’t.
Not sure how it’s pronounced.

The Process-
A very nice shave again today, this Feather just keeps rocking on. Got the Graydog Boar back after a re-knot. This knot is a Shave Forge and a first use for me. Steve said it shed about 30 hairs when he cleaned it and it shed 5 or 6 during my shave. It will take a bit to break in, but I have time. Life is good!

Congrats Tim, nice shave and brush. Steve does great works of art.
