Hello fellow B&Bers!

This new SOTD Theme Week has a Western twist…

Many of us may not be Wild West aficionados or live in the American west, but this theme can be fun for all!

Let’s see anything “Western” related. Even toasted western sandwich or hotel key from a Best Western hotel would work! A pic of your great great grandmother with Billy the Kid, a cowboy hat or boots would be acceptable as well. How about a pic with your SOTD and a cactus? Campsite on the range? Lovely! Your old Merle Haggard record (or 8 track) collection would be outstanding!

There are western themed soaps, aftershaves and fragrances as well! Have an old Avon cowboy boot cologne bottle? Perfect. An old Daisy pellet gun? Sure! Have some fun with it! How about a gold nugget you panned from the Yuba river or in Northern Canada or New Zealand? We won’t likely believe you, but try us!

And if you don’t have anything Western themed… post pics of your shave or just tell us about it!

As always, being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.

Let’s see some cool western themed shots this week, pardner!

New Soap & AS. 1st experience with a CK6 base. The lather was easily whip-up into a richly creamy and slick...the scent...mmm. OTH, this is a splash I've been wanting for a long time and it did not disappoint...smelling wonderful but did not last...The razor paired with the blade was a perfect combo providing an effortlessly smooth and comfortable shave...

(If this is too long for your reading you can skip of course or even if it was shorter you can always skip, this is just my thoughts after a shave :001_smile)

Well this was refreshing shave.

I have not used the WR2 1.55 in a while, again reminded of how much I enjoy this razor.

The Gillette Light Blue Plantiums, really an enjoyable blade, really like them.

The Shavemac Silvertip D01, first time using it and I enjoyed it. Being a silvertip and with the loft size, I did not expect it to have that much backbone but it had enough, it was a comfortable brush to use, love the bloom on it, just a wall of a badger especially when you splay, just awesome!

PAA The Cube always does its job well.

The Hags Darkside soap always a great soap to use. It always seems that it needs a tad more water to get going but once it does its performs great and the post shave feel is fantastic.

The Aqua Velva Ice sport, lovely scent, enjoyed it quite a bit overall, decanted into a glass bottle, don't like aftershaves in plastic bottles, even if they come that way. Duke's cannon hit the spot, a plesant overall cooling affect.

My 1st pass WTG, 2nd pass WTG/XTG with touch ups, 3rd pass ATG with some more touch up after leaving me a very nice DFS+/BBS with no cuts, nicks, weepers or irritation or I should say very little to the point where I call it zero.

Very enjoyable shave.

This is the second shave in a row with the ATT S-1 and Wizamet blade. Another shave that was close and smooth. The MdC jar of soap is on its 276th shave. Not too many shaves left with this wonderful soap. Today’s brush is a custom one made by Rudy Vey. He set a 28mm Shvemac knot in a keyhole handle. I like large brushes and this one fits the bill. A nice BBS shave. Have a great day and week, folks.
