Shave of the Day: September 9, 2016

Posted on September 9, 2016November 15, 2017 By Drew

Man plans and God laughs, right? Remember on Wednesday when I said I was ready to start cranking out the new content? Well, sometimes a sick wife, a sick dog, and exhausted children suffering through their first week of school take priority. Thursday morning really fell off the wheels when my wife got incredibly sick. I didn’t even get out of my gym clothes for a shower and a shave until 1:00 pm. But I figured I had to get something out, so here I am working on another shave of the day.

I have a Fall Essentials post that I’m about halfway through, and I thought I was going to get it out today, but I did not have the time to edit the graphics. That will definitely run Monday though, so be sure to check it out! I’m also putting together a review of the Penhaligon’s No. 33 skin care line. So look for that later next week.

Let’s talk a little about this shave. Soap Commander puts out one of the best one-two punches with their shaving soap and aftershave balm products. I really like the courage scent, and I hope to try some of their other scents in the future. My brush is from Beau Brummell for Men, another skin care line that I’m testing. It’s a black badger brush which is starting to break in nicely and is chewing through some of my shaving soaps. I may have to go back and test a few of my more “troublesome” soaps with this brush. And my fragrance is by Carthusia. It’s a smaller perfumery from Italy which I just discovered via some samples from C. O. Bigelow. I’m absolutely loving these samples! They strike a perfect balance between the French artistry and British refinement in fragrance.

How do you break a week-long heat wave? With a ton of menthol, of course. Last week was brutal here. Every day the heat index soared into the 100s. The heat was so oppressive, it was hard to do anything. Even running errands drained me. On top of that both…

Man, I am sorry for the long break in posts. Last week got a little crazy. The kids went down the shore for the entire week with their grandparents. While they were away, my wife and I decided to dismantle and reassemble our entire basement. We threw out any toys…
