Day of deep doubt ...
In my life I have never set myself goals: I tried to give my best and I accepted what was coming.
And, without prefixing it, today came one of the most bleak photos ever taken.
But, perhaps, I remember bad...

And hence the doubt that grip me: is it a revenge of the window? But it was too dark to shoot it there!

Or ... instead of 'seedy', define it 'essential'?
This could be a 'political' way out of it ...

I wanted 'Lavender' and, since Valobra is a soap that has always satisfied me, I chose it for my gear today.

La Feather was a little better than yesterday: she couldn't have been worse, not even trying!
I really like the razor even if I would not mind a slightly larger handle.
Who never disappoints are this EdT and Django!

Friday greetings to all! I so enjoyed my shave yesterday, that I decided to repeat it! I usually fall back on my favorite MWF, but that wonderful Anise scent from the Stirling Glacial Obsidian reminds me of a favorite gum from my childhood, Blackjack, which my grandfather, a WWI Marine vet always used to always carry! Blackjack chewing gum finally returned in 2018 and is as delicious as it has ever been. This old-fashioned gum established multiple “firsts” upon its invention in 1884 in the United States. With its black licorice taste, Blackjack was the first flavored gum available in America. I realized that it stoked very good memories of fishing with him as a small boy! As it turns out, I ‘m now a grandfather and have outlived him by a decade and a year.
Anyway, back to this great shave! BBS all around as yesterday! I’m really enjoying the new Jayaruh Custom Silvertip Badger with the extended Rosewood handle. It whipped up a generous lather allowing that lovely Anise scent to waft around enhancing what turned out to be a luxurious, thick, glistening, protective lather! I don’t know whether it’s half a century of wet shaving experience or just the razors, but I’ve never cut or nicked myself with either the Lupo or Silversmith. I feel clean, smooooth, coool, and refreshed. I’m really looking forward to spending time with my grandson this afternoon.

RAZOR: Razarock DLC Coated SS Lupo
BLADE: Feather
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Silvertip Badger
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Stirling Glacial Obsidian AS Splash

The Grosvenor [ 404-mixed ]
TBG soap
Occams Oren-Plate 3
Feather Proguard [ 7 ]
TBG Sixth Sense A/S Lotion

After patchy Shaves with both the Occams Enoch & Hiram, I reverted to use of the Oren. I was pleased that despite it being a sitting down Shave it was smooth and comfortable , and I had no problems in getting a very nice close all round finish. Hopefully, as I use them more the other Razors will become better performers for me.

It has been a strange day. I was out last night so no prep for today's shave. I slept in this morning and had to grab the first things I could find. Rushed in to work to discover that I shouldn't have been there .....because I am on a long shift tomorrow.

The shave was pretty good.....I just didn't have time to enjoy it
