Birthday shave, on Sample Sunday, and my 1st SOTD post on B&B.

I like to start with an SE on the first pass, then switch to DE on next two passes. I think it gives me a better shave, and why not? The brush is my first boar, has about one week's worth of shaves on it. I think it is coming along nicely. Today's soap was a sample of Mystic Water unscented that I've had for a while, and have been meaning to kill. B&M Spice is my favorite of the reserved line, I always enjoy it. Great shave, no nicks or irritation, my day is off to fine start, and I hope yours is too.

Gotta love Sunday morning shaves. With my schedule getting all wonky this past week I haven't been able to spend much time with my family. So yesterday when I got home I spent as much time as I could with my daughter. But today, my wife and I are pawning her off with her aunt for the day so we can have some time together. I don't feel bad about that one bit.

Sandalwood Sunday.

 

[Smooth Steve]

Wow, Steve! Glad you are on the mend. Take care of yourself! Hope the shave made you feel better.

Thank you Ron. I'm trying to rest and get back on track, while feeling better every day. A good shave is always uplifting and rejuvenating!

Oho, Oho Lime is still king.... I'm not sure a lime shave can get much better or be better depicted, Erich.

Thank you for your kind words Ron. Lime and Summer...two peas in a pod!

After seeing your SOTD I searched the soap and watched a very positive video, contacted the soap maker and am awaiting order info for the two available soaps.
