Okay shave today. Pine Tar has a terrific fragrance, but I didn’t use enough, so my shave was a bit dry and rough at the end while I was trying to clean up some missed bits under my chin. It left some redness, but my post shave didn’t sting at all. Have a great day, everybody!

Great shave today. I found the Old Spice shaving bowl online and bought it for tradition’s sake. It took more work to build a lather than the LinkIdea bowl with the textured bottom. I think tomorrow I’ll try a different Chiseled Face sample. Something different would be nice. Have a great Father's Day, everybody!

It's growing on me. I like it now, whereas when it arrived I didn't. My wife says I smell like leather shoes.

A quick shower shave with the ball end tech. I was a lot more careful not to add any pressure to the tech, so I got a much better shave than last time. I scraped some skin off the side of my chin. It was a bit red but there was no blood. There was no feedback from the Nivea balm - surprise! Great razor, great soap, great brush, great shave.

That's really cool to know.

I'm liking it.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

My parents always listened to jazz. I remember seeing Stan Kenton live when I was about six. WDCB is a low power station, so I have to stream if I want to listen.

Yes, someone there posted a link for me, so I read all about it, including the different levels of Stag. I'm not sure it's something I want to try this year. Maybe next. I'm liking the Stag, though. And since I'm still home for most of August, it's something I could try.

I didn't want to like the Midnight Stag. I wrinkled my nose when I first unscrewed the lid. There was no way I wanted this stuff touching my face. Now after six shaves I’m a fan. Great lather and unique fragrance.

Have a great day, everybody!

It would be my fourth brush, but it's a rabbit hole I'm willing to explore. I have a vintage handle coming my way - not sure of the brand - but I'd be willing to replace the knot with horse hair if I could find one.
