Wonderful long week of hiking, biking and exploring. I only slept in the car three times, and not consecutively, as it's a little cramped in the back of a Ford Focus after awhile. But car camping, or 'stealth' camping, sure is a fun way to get around on the cheap if you're having a 'stay-cation'.
:thumbup1: Excellent shots this week all! :thumbup1:


 
SOTD

Prep: Hot facecloth followed by homemade lavender pre-shave oil
Soap: MWF
Razor: Gillette Canadian Heavy Tech
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Semogue
Post-shave: Hot facecloth followed by Witch Hazel
Aftershave balm: Shea butter/coconut oil
Mustache Wax: Badger

This combination is absolutely wonderful. As today is my razor switch day, I have moved on to my Canadian Heavy Tech...and I am amazed at this little razor...so efficient and easy. Great shave. And you just can't beat a Semogue brush. Enjoy your Sunday gents...:thumbup1: (Hard to believe its August already):bored:
