SOTD 01/25/20

Woke up to a torrential downpour on this Saturday morning. I was all set for another excellent shave with this razor. I’m thinking, that I’ll be trying some other blades in the razor over the next few shaves after completing this shave. Unbeknownst to me, the Feather blade I employed today ended up irritating the back of my head as the alum block and my AS Splash revealed. The fault is mine and not the razor. I have to restrain my eagerness to chase the BBS until my head is completely healed from the Rex encounter. Foolish me irritated the three healing areas by thinking my healing powers were more robust than they actually are! 72 ain’t 25! Besides, my birthday shave is coming up on 2/4. In any case my beloved Fat again delivered the goods for a two pass DFS on my face and a tender CCS on the noggin! The Snake Bite finish let me know that I’ve still a ways to go to completely heal the back of the noggin! I’m going to go without shaving the gourd for a few days to facilitate the healing. I figure by Tuesday, all should be well! In the meantime I’ll be sticking to face shaves until then! Happy shaves to all!

Nice.  The colors leaped right off the page at me, and the perspective is excellent.     

That is a sweet looking brush! I like it ALOT!!

Thank you! This is a "Bride of Frankenstein" by Prometheus Handcrafts equipped with a 24mm "Odin's Beard" knot purchased from Viking soaps.

Leather, leather...LEATHER! I do believe that there is no more manly a scent than leather except of course motor oil and Hoppe’s No. 9! Today I decided to grab the stuff I picked up recently. The Colonial General has been well documented but the other goodies have sat waiting. The razor today the Gillette Rocket HD 500 so good and so smooth a shaver. Fresh Personna Platinum loaded.

Artisan Soaps Leather is so good a scent! More than that! It is a great soap! So good all around! The Simpson Special has no issues working it up to a phenomenal lather.

Beautiful two pass BBS shave! Topped it off with some English Leather AS and Guerlain Derby...man, I love leather and so does Mrs S! Happy Saturday!
