BOO...Hahahahahahaha
​

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 6/8" Maestro Livi, Round Point
Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger
Strop: Neil Miller Linen (50 laps) + SRD Premium IV Leather (70 laps)
Überlather: Tabac Shave Creme + Tabac Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer
AS Splash: Tabac
Cologne: Tabac
Pumpkin Eating Frenzy: Carved by yours truly
Result: Ghoulish shave this morning. My wife and I went to a costume party last night and had a wonderful time. I hadn't gone out of my way for a long time and it was fun getting back to my younger roots again (it was all my wife's fault, of course

). I finally received my Tabac creme and was able to make the slickest lather using only Tabac...Can't get over the scent. The Livi was all that was needed to put the freakish scare on any stubble, thick and thin alike. It was pure carnage...one that was an absolute pleasure to experience (Wooooahahahaha). Finish it with a Tabac AS and cologne and I am good to go...Kids in the neighborhood: Consider this fair warning. No prisoners will be taken tonight.

Tonight is the night that you should watch your back. Why?

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’awl’s neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller​

That was Vincent's Price's rap on "Thriller"...And to put you in the mood:

Happy Halloween ghouls and goblins. Have an AWESOME and scary good time with your kids and family gentlemen

. See you all tomorrow...that is if you survive the night.

Great shot Robert!

Something tells me you're the house the neighborhood kids flock to on Halloween

SOTD Sunday October 31, 2010 "Happy Halloween!"

Razor: 5/8 Torrey, Full Hollow, Round Point
Pre-Shave Prep: Hot Towel/Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Shaving Cream: Musgo Real
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
ASB: Nivea replenishing
Aftershave/Cologne: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Results: Very nice! The little Torrey has shown great improvement since going through the stones. It is a very small (5/8) and light razor and I'm more into the bigger heavier blades but, I would consider this little Torrey definately shave ready at this point. I guess it's just my personal preference that is at issue here.
