Still in!
Still in. I've had this Trafalgar T3 brush for awhile and not sure I'll ever get the hang of it. The combination of a short loft and comparatively wide diameter seem to conspire to just push the lather around my face and not spread it evenly. Just feels hard to control. I wonder if other Simpson brushes would be like that too. Anyhow, a good shave nonetheless.

Still in. Summary. Yesterday’s shave was too mild for my liking. The Game Changer is much more effective and I am definitely a fan of that.

Enjoy your shave.
In. E1 Fatboy, Astra sp, reknotted Rubberset 400 and VDH soap.
Still in, no shave today or yesterday and probably not tomorrow either… going to see how long I can go until the XO sends me to the dog house.

Semogue Saturdays!
SV Saturday
Hello friends
Beautiful Saturday around here! I chose what I think is the soap with the quintessential modern barbershop scent: SV Manna di Sicilia, which pairs perfectly with the classic barbershop scent of Floïd The Genuine. Greencult 2.0 plate IV, the gap and high exposure razor I became physically dependent on. Gillette Platinum Light Blue (1) is stupendous with it. And crowning the event was my favorite brush: the might Pegasus Mistura.
With us, my friend Stanley Turrentine.

Another no shave day.
Gotta somehow save some money after all and delaying a shave might be a way to do it ?
Took my son to see a ball game last night and while the locals won 8-2, dang that did not got cheaper compared to last year outing. Damage are in the $130 range which is 30 % more than a year ago and for only 2 persons. When I see family with 2 3 4 kiddos in tow I just wonder how they can afford it.
