Good Morning Guys, happy Columbus Day! I think today is the legal holiday for Columbus Day. I have to work, so who cares?

The shave set up for the week is:

Olive oil soap, brand unknown, as a pre-shave. Just a sliver left. The way this stuff lasts, that sliver should be good for two week.
Palmolive Green
1940's fat handled chrome Tech
Feather Blade
Dickinson's witch hazel
Proraso ASB
C&E aftershave

I feel good, smell great and look as good as I am going to look. As somebody here said in a recent post, I can approach the day with confidence. Amazing what a BBS shave can do for one's mood.

Result: 4.6/5.0 BBS with almost no irritation. The Merkur Progress razor at 3 with the Sharp blade made one sweet cutting sound. It was singing to me. The talc gives a nice finishing touch as usual. The shave I did on Sunday was done in the bathtub while I was soaking in a a menthol mineral solution. Ahhh...heaven. I did the shave totally by feel with no mirror. Definitely a different experience. Not one nick though.
