Today is the Run for the Roses in Louisville.

Floid Vigoroso
TFS Barbe Rosse
Vie Long BG2102 horse
5/8 Dovo Astrale
Razorock 888



Today just had to be a rose soap and horse hair brush. The TFS soaps are really quite nice.

After a very rough shave earlier this week, I took the blade to the shop and back to the honing station, and pulled out my new lapping films. This is the first razor I've retouched since starting this journey and I must say I was very pleased with the results. I have a little ways to go that made this shave specials in many ways.

Have a great weekend, gents.

Saturday morning.

Started with a haircut at a real barbershop I found recently on the edge of the University of Notre Dame. It's a family affair with the father, son, and a third barber working there side-by-side on Saturday mornings.

Prep: hot water scrub and soak
Razor: Gillette New long-comb
Blade: Feather (2)
Cream: Tabac
Brush: Rooney 3/1 in Pure Badger

Typical 3-pass shave, WTG, XTG, ATG

Post shave: Alum block, followed by shower.
Post shower: T.N. Dickenson WH
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue from glass bottle (old-stock)

Hair: "A little dab" of Brylcreem and vigorous brushing with a firm boar bristle Vidal Sasson brush I've had since the '80s.
