Its been a long time since i bowl lathered, saying that the Proraso soap is easy to get right. The brass brush is the heavyweight amongst the collection and a do really enjoy using it.
As per yesterday, the Kai blade in the Brassbird (in my opinion the best razor that Blackland has made, it was as efficient as its Stainless brother but also a lot smoother and not harsh at all) ups the efficiency and tiny bit of more blade feel but still very smooth and comfortable.
2 fantastic passes with buffing the stubborn bits as i went, i am super clean, and fresh smelling good, the Proraso Wood spice is one of the best scents out there.
Well, we have been together 42 yrs, however, we will not be venturing out tonight as the pup has been all consuming of our time. I am sure i will knock up something Mrs TC likes for our Dinner tonight. It will be basic though.
Enjoy your day all.

Congratulations to you and your good lady on your 36th wedding anniversary! Enjoy your Dinner this evening, even if it's "beans on toast".
Yours- Barry.

Twosday, July Twentieth's Shave Of The Day was good... actually the 3Ss were great this morning...

a slightly odd thing happened with the Stirling lather(side-note: this shot was taken after painting the face)... it was thicker(?)... and we liked it a little better than the normal lather we whip up with Stirling's shave soaps... unfortunately we think there's been extra lime or whatever in the well water and that's our excuse... we're smoof and sniffing good...

Have a Good Day & Good SOTDs ATGSers...

It has been busy week in Taipei, with every day starting with a great shave. Adapting to the FlyDear blades again was really effortless and the shaves have been super smooth, although closeness has suffered a bit. Still, an irritation free DFS is worth the effort!
I ended up using g the Mellon Ti and DS Cosmetics 24mm G7 with the coffee handle, with TFS almond crema for a superb lather. A 30 hour (with layovers) return trip now awaits me thanks to Typhoon Noul, which saw a huge number of flights out of Hong Kong canceled. Yay.
