It wasn't easy trying to convey "beach" out here in on a balmy morning out in the woods.

I like T+S Dark. It's like a York Peppermint Pattie. Have you tried "Dark Two"? It's the same profile, but less gourmand. They toned down the peppermint, upgraded the ginger quality, and switched to Haitian vetiver. It's a more ethereal fragrance. I like both versions but for very different reasons.

Haha, I can just picture you out there in the SE TX morning balm.
(Aaaand . . . Weather Service just issued heat advisory for this afternoon.)

My T+S Dark was a generous gift from @rlroadie2004 after he got his Dark Two.
Funny, other than the vetiver, mostly I get coffee from the Dark. Maybe Russ ate the York Peppermint Pattie out of the Dark before passing it along to me?

How do you like your Supply injector? Looks almost like the PAL adjustable injector I used to have--very elegantly designed and a great shaver. Sure seems like something I ought to have!

Like it a lot so I bought one in black and another in polished finish. Have 9 different injectors but only two I reach for are the Supply and C2 Repeater.

*Been a while since I've used one

Well I haven’t had a shave since Friday July 5th...vacation has a way of doing that to you. First day back at work and time to get that sorted. iKon Deluxe OC was the perfect tool for this job and loaded up with a fresh Personna Lab Blue it was efficient and super smooth. I have been on a run of iKon gear lately with some more joining the collection.

Soap of the day was Stirling Executive Man a great at work scent and inspired by Creed Aventus...enough said. Great performing soap as all Stirling soaps are and topped off with the matching AS just a great start to any day. Chubby 1 whipped up a luxurious lather and off to work getting rid of the scruff!

Beautiful two pass DFS/BBS shave was achieved this day. The weight of that bulldog handle and the Deluxe OC are a match made! Finished off with some English Laundry London EDP (which is a Creed Aventus like scent - by my nose) and off to the office.

Enjoy the day all and happy shaves!

You never post a bad shot, but these are primo. Of the 2, this one's my favorite. Cool backdrop, too.

Thanks for nice words, Matt!

Actually, three consecutive shaves with the Fili, just to compare results.
Took the blade to the stones after first shave, to see how effective the hones worked.
Progression of Jap water stones, 800 to 12000.
End result was great!

Always forget how well TFS does for me....this was 45 seconds of stuff and then great lather. I really love this scent too. I might 3017 this.

Really enamored with Roam lately, might have to find this soap cause this scent is awesome. Wife hates it but whatever lol
