First shave of the day and off-theme, but I have a second shave coming later.
With SV, this was most definitely a luxury shave. I’m enjoying BBS November much more than I ever enjoyed No-Shave November.

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
A second luxury shave after returning home. It’s fun to be revisiting my DE collection again, but I’ll revert to some straights soon. Terrific brush handle by our own @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social . What a talent!
I think Heather gave me a sample of it, and I took a whiff of it at the Maggard Meetup and liked it.
No, and learning isn’t his thing anyway.
Thanks! Interesting times for us. That’s for sure.
Very good point!
That’s certainly a part of it.
I’m heartbroken over the election results
I’m more interested what motivated the voters. I have a hunch that most of the US still isn’t ready for a woman president. From a practical standpoint, the US stock market had a banner day. It will be important to benefit where possible over the next 4 years. OTOH, my son lives in France. Maybe it’s time to move :)

Final travel shave. Tobacconist is among my favorite HoM scents.
Heather is proud of her association with Rogue Perfumery on this one.
I sure don’t envy you folks only having the choice between plague and cholera
After a while, cynicism gets to you and idealism becomes less important. The goal becomes how to fare well with whomever comes to power. I suspect, though, that one candidate may not know the quote “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. We’ll see.

Wonderful setup!

A very nice second luxury shave. I’m headed out for dinner while everyone else here is watching the election results.
Yes. It’s a two-piece handle. Absolutely perfect for travel.

— I’m traveling, so only the soap will be changing for FLS and SLS during this trip. Thanks to u/VisceralWatch for the FBT. Love this little razor. It’s perfect for travel.
Great idea! As a daily shaver, I’m never going to do a traditional Atlas Shaves in Feb. I don’t have anything to add that others haven’t already. I like the idea of DQs. Certainly works for the (my) geezer generation. I’m not sure how generations that grew up receiving a prize even for losing will like it.
As DJ says, those with a well-stocked den will have an advantage, but it’s wetshaving and that’s part of the hobby.
The only CB soap I have in the premium base is Blugère. It’s a very easy base to work with for all types of razors.
