In. If Rockwell ever comes out with an OC plate, I'm probably done for, but, alas, none yet.

Day 1, 3.2% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #3
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive day again. That was a textbook near-BBS shave; all the components worked perfectly, and I didn't get any user error.

If Rockwell ever comes out with an OC plate, I'm probably done for, but, alas, none yet

I'm surprised they haven't. There must also be a market for an R7/R8 plate.

Hang on hang on. What is this razor?! Made in Germany? Open comb? Stainless or Zamak?

Day 2, Shave #1

IN

After a rough travel weekend, and building up a 4-day growth of facial hair, I was able to take a moment for myself this morning in the empty house and got a lovely, quiet shave as the sun was rising. True BBS, which is always nice.

Not sure I'm a huge fan of SV's Stella Alpina scent, but it was certainly not bad or offensive, and I left the house feeling like a groomed, civilized man, ready to face another week.

Good fortune and a temptation-free December to all my fellow GRUMErs.

Razor: Yates Winning Titanium
Blade: Nacet
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Brush: Simpson Colonel
Bowl: Timeless injection-mold
Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps - Hungarian Lavender
Aftershave: SV Stella Alpina

Isn’t that what we all strive for?

 

[Lurking_Grue]

Isn’t that what we all strive for?

Indeed. I would hope it is what we strive for... but when it is actually achieved -- for me, that is a sweet moment of inner peace.

I believe that little moments of contentment and satisfaction like that are just as important as the rare momentous ones for making a life worth living.
