So, my midnight shave consisted of:

Sometimes you gotta cut out the high-faluttin' 100-year old plus creams, etc. and go for a department store shave:

WHy thank you for asking! It is Excellent! Aside from a fragrance that can only be entitled Delightful in the Extreme, I have finally calibrated my routine for the sticks and get appropriate quantity and quality of lather everytime... :thumbup:

I actually made two changes on the fly this morning. First, since I have a job interview (within the same company) this morning, I thought the Lavender cologne wouldn't portray what I wanted to get across. I went with a sample of Pecksniffs Oriental Chypre instead. Also, last night my sample box from Baxters arrived, so I tried their after shave balm. VERY interesting product - once I use it a few more times I will post a review.

Have a great day.

BTW - Lavender is easy to grow - those are a few of many many stalks I have laying about from my plants.

Very nice Robo!

[rtaylor61]

Very nice posts today. Love the pics. Scotto, the Baxter's A/S Balm is interesting. I found I could get three days use out of each sample packet. Not too keen on the smell, but overall it wasn't bad. Noticed you hid your razor under the lavender. Having to keep the wife away?

Randy

[rtaylor61]

Let's get the day going!

Floris JF Shaving Soap, applied with a Shavemac #181, Natureade Aloe80, Aramis Life, and my trusty Merkur HD Classic. The Porsche is a Timex Miniature Collectible. My kids :smile: gave it to me a few years back, and I've collected a good number of others since.

Randy

[robofunk]

Very nice Robo!

thanks! i need to get in gear and get more daily photos up. i suppose i've been too into the shave and not so much the documentation.

:c6:

My razor didn't make it into the picture, but my Progress is the only one I own anyway; it is in every picture...

Enjoy the weekend!

BTW, I am not a huge Bay Rum fan, but this Pinaud cologne smells better than the Trumpers samples I have gotten, and at $5, you can't beat it.

The background is an unopened John & Yoko Wedding Album, except in this case it is an 8-track. It's obvious that John did not belong to any shave community during that time period, however, maybe Yoko did!

Randy

[Coche_y_bondhu]

Hello Randy,

Very cool album. We have an original Beatles Help album, but used. 8-track? Looks like a 33 rpm LP to me. You got an 8-track of it, too?

Hang on to this one, pardner. It is a classic.

Cheers,
Richard

Another poor shave.... luckily I am back home and the good shaves, visual SOTD's and reviews kick back into gear tomorrow!

[rtaylor61]

Hi Richard,

If you will look under the album title, you will see that it says (One 8-track cartridge), so album size box, 8-track tunes. This item is very special to me. It was given me by a friend who passed away in June. At one time, he managed Steppenwolf, and worked with The Turtles and Three Dog Night.

Randy

[Scotto]

No shave today - first time in ~3 weeks! Back to pictures tomorrow. Picked up some neat stuff this weekend, though - look for other posts.
