"No fail shave" 2016-12-17

@Peter_A - Good to see you back, Peter. The ATT looks quite distinctive with that handle. How do you like the Cade cream?

Thanks, Ron. I don't always to take & post pictures, but I try to, at least occasionally. The ATT H2 is nice and aggressive, yet still smooth, with the 15mm UFO SS handle. Regarding the Cade cream, I thought that it was just OK, the first few times that I used it, and I hadn't touched it in months. However, I've used it the past couple of days, and it's been excellent. My biggest qualm about the Cade line is that each product that I've tried (shaving soap, shaving cream, AS balm, EdT) has a different scent, so much so that I wouldn't expect them to be in the same line, so that's a bit odd. The Cade AS balm is outstanding, maybe the best that I've tried. Thanks again, and take care.

An excellent start to the weekend with a great shave. The Zenith Boar whipped up a mountain of rich lather with the wonderful scent filling the room. I went with a traditional 3 pass shave, WTG, XTG & ATG, followed by minimal touch ups. This ended with a my usual near BBS. I didn't feel the need to chase the baby so I let that one trouble spot on my neck go free for the day. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
 
Thanks Ron, and Everybody! Excellent week in here again! :thumbup:

Sadly, weeks end for me, I'll be skipping out and not shaving over the weekend!
However, I'll leave you all with this little Winter shot from the other day:

What was the Sweeney Todd like, Bob? I don't think I've see it before.

I got it as a gift. Route 66 soaps are in my "Top 5". Here is their scent description: "aroma of delicious Sicilian blood oranges, with their signature spicy berry undertone, blended with a hint of fir, warmed on a rich woody base. "

Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic

Stirling MITA today. 20 seconds to load the RR/Zenith Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 7 O’Clock Blue SP still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man w/Menthol.

Living in Kansas, we're about as far from the ocean as you can get. So, I've been working on a beachy scent to help combat the cold heartland winter. This one is coconut based with hints of lime, suntan oil, some woods, and a hint of floral. Thinking of calling it "Seven Mile Beach"

I used the Trismegistus this morning, as you will see in the above picture. And I purchased their Fougere the past Wednesday and that is expected to arrive Monday.

It is really a fine soap. I love its dark, mysterious aroma. I also have Trismegistus and TSM Fougere, though I haven't used the latter. I plan on getting a couple more.
