I had the same setup Monday and Tuesday, but changed it up a bit today. Went with The Fat so I could test a new aftershave. Life is good!

Thursday I kept the same kit, but I had to mix it up a bit today. This soap/AS came in during my 3017 and I have been wanting to try it. Was off work today, so I went with a late morning shave with a nice hot lather. Three pass shave left me BBS for the win! Damn, this is nice stuff. Life is good!

Today is cold and overcast, so it sounded like a good day for Oakmoss. I can’t pick up any lavender or vanilla, or maybe I do and it’s blended well. The soap lathers quickly and produces a nice lather.

I kept the brush warmer and went with my typical three pass shave. The Black Beauty made quick work of the whiskers and I’m BBS for the win! Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Don’t think I will be doing anything outside today. Life is good!

I had this soap/AS set in my BSTP box awhile back, but didn’t get any bites on a sale or trade. So I thought I would use it today. A three pass shave that resulted in a BBS for the win! The razor was a bit rough, so back to the stones it goes. A splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. Today is just a chill day for me. Life is good!

Worked from home today and enjoyed a glorious shave. The hot lather was oh so nice. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Those three luxurious paases left me BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Great calm spot in the middle of the work day. Tomorrow I will mix the kit up a bit with a soap sample that I have been waiting to try. Life is good!

Great report, Tim! Always nice to have a great shave, especially when it is as you described.
