third time is a charm?

two consecutive days where work impeded any chance at time for a good shave. will today be the day?

The Le Père Lucien (you all know, of course, that the "Le" and the "The" are possibly redundant here ... the the ... le le ...) Ltd Ed Vetiver & Bourbon will definitely be part of then next shave, whenever it happens.

The rest of the gear and software are subject to change without notice.

Seen here are a restored Ever-Ready 925 (TGN knot); Gillette New-type SC head on a ball-end handle borrowed from a Tech (my ATT R2 Atlas may stand in here); Astra SP; and Pinaud Clubman moustache wax (haven't used this one in while; while the habit of the label rubbing off on one's fingers is surely annoying, I must say that this wax in some ways outperforms the more expensive margarines).

Not pictured, but virtually assured of making the grade today, Fine Clean Vetiver (suggestions from the gallery regarding good scent pairings with the LPL are most welcome).

Pictured, but of little use other than as an SOTD prop, nifty paperweight or mantlepiece décor, a Universal Mercury II half-frame 35mm camera. Nice to look at as a novelty. Not much for getting a decent and well-focused exposure. Whadayawant for $12.00? Maybe I overpaid.

Excellent shot! Bloody work Eh! I tried so hard to take today off and somebody cried Union over the tiniest of details. So guess where this message is being sent from!

 

[UngerWoo]

Thanks, celestino.

 

[celestino]

I try my best most weeks, but I get home around 8am Friday, and I'm back to the office in the afternoon for 2:30. Not a lot of time to play with, and it's a 45 minute commute each way. Such is life.

Wow! It sounds like you need a vacation or a new job!

New job I'm working hard on. I'm only 2 steps up the management ladder, maybe a little more climbing and I'll be better set!

Cash, the awful, embarrassing truth is that I telecommute/work from home, so I am very much without an excuse.

[Beardedbird]

Decisions, decisions.

went with the ikon open comb, the razorocktober 2014 shave soap, and the lux pour homme by g aftershave (Havanna). Was another great shave.

I'm not sure I could handle working from home. Hell I want to get right back out 10 minutes after getting in!

Scary soap I found in the bottom of a shave den drawer, I think it's William's.
It worked just fine though, had to load up the brush a bit more than normal...

Normally don't shave on Friday, so I guess there's one benefit to staying home sick.
