Happy 65th Bob! Turning 63 this year and every year is a surprise! Lived hard and fast in the 60's & 70's so every day now is a blessing!
Nice picture, awesome equipment and supplies and hope it made for a wonderful birthday shave!
 
Good morning fellas.
This morning's BBS shave brought to you via QCS shaving soaps. Man, they are great.


Prep - Hot shower with QCS "Vetiver"
Razor - Bonsa Wiener
Brush - Omega 80265 Boar
Soap - QCS "Basilica"
Alum - Razorock
Balm - QCS "Vetiver"


This soap lathers like heavy cream, thick, cushiony, slick. I did a face lather this morning.
Saturday morning, I also did some blending of the other QCS shaving soap samples I have. I grated them up , mixed together the gratings in different proportions, and mashed them into pucks in disposable soap bowls (cut off cheese tubs, i'm frugal that way). They should last a few months and the scents are very pleasing to both me and future Mrs. GST.
