MUSIC:
Red-Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson (vinyl)
Hot Shower
Issy's Bay Rum & Guinness Stout Bath Bar
MB’s Peppermint/Rosemary Shampoo
4” Coors Mortar
Vulfix #2233 in Super
Mama Bear Cold Pressed Lavender Shave Soap
1948 Super Speed w/ Fresh IP
3 passes
NO Styptic Pencil
WWR
CWR
Alum Bock
CWR
MB Summer Ice Menthol & Lemongrass AS Milk (w/extra menthol)
MB British Leather EdT
Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic
First use of MB's new cold pressed soap. The lavender scent is intoxicating, one of the boldest lavenders I have tried. I had some trouble working up a lather using my normal technique. This may be solved with experimentation. The lather I did get this morning was rather thin, but it lubricated very well. My normal 3 pass shave resulted in a BBS shave with no irritation, weepers, or nicks
It's a new type of soap for me so I will be using it all week to fine tune my methodology.
Have an outstanding day!

Tuesday:
First shave since Friday morning....
Gillette Fatboy w/ new IP blade
Bic Metal for upperlip
Plisson Black #10
Plisson -Matin Ambre- Thanks to SteveK for the samples.
D.R. Harris Pink a/s splash
I tried the New Formulation Plisson cream last Tuesday with excellent results.
This morning, I tested the Matin Ambre (original formula) sample and again I found myself having a wonderful smooth, irritation free shave.
I am going to be alternating these creams over the next 2 days to try to get a good comparison. So far, I have no problems with either of them.
The original formula (Matin Ambre) was a bit more difficult to lather but the Plisson brush can tame any cream or soap.
Have a great day.

Yesterday I thought I got away with the Sensor incident on Sunday, today the ingrowns came out to play all over my lower neck. Grrrr. I simply cannot get a super-close shave on my lower neck even with a DE. Straights seem to work great as I cannot go against the grain in this area with one anyhow.
