Thought you gents might enjoy this...

I've collected sheet music for years (I'm a singer), but most of it from earlier in the 20C than this. I couldn't pass up the graphic however. It lives next to the mirror in the bathroom...

The names of the composer and lyricist struck me as very likely to be pseudonyms...but no, according to ASCAP....they're for real. And the song is really quite good. I'd give a great deal to hear an episode or two of the radio program and hear it in full orchestration. So far, no luck.

Very cool. Interesting to see a GEM/Ever Ready 1912 being used in the graphics.

This morning:

Proraso pre/post
40s Gillette Super Speed w. Derby Extra (1)
Kent BK4
Indian Palmolive Refreshing Lemon SC - smells like a delicious dessert and makes a really nice and slick lather. This very inexpensive cream will most likely be a keeper in my rotation
Proraso ASB
Yellow Floid AS - I had been told that this was good stuff, but I had never imagined it would be THIS good, what an incredible smell!

Excellent shave. But, just to top it all off, I also managed to do my first ATG pass without cutting up my face. Seems like I have finally resolved the issue with the angle


Regards.

Like the Old Spice set-up for sure. I'm interested in a nicer way to shave. I'm still stuck at the old throw away razors and barbasol. Thinking it's time to take a step up.

AtomicT, Chuckablades and barbasol as a rule for me also but I'm drifting back to my straight razor. Tried Eshave cucumber shave creme and it sure does make a difference as does Weleda.

Straight razors look fascinating! I've always wanted to try shaving with one.

 

[Lefty]

I'll be shaving today for the first time in 6 or 7 years.

My Shave Gear

I don't use the AOS Rosewater anymore, I make my own lavender water and use it before I put on aftershave. For aftershave I am using Musgo Real.

I also rarely use the Proraso shaving cream, unless I run out of the AOS Lavender tub.

 

[rmrdaddy]

Welcome aboard Herr Hitman!


And Lefty.....

Shaving off the facial shrubbery??? Egads man, what gives? [huh]
